a couple more challenges

The Paper Variety has a challenge to use the sentiment: Good friends are like stars...you don't always see them but you know they are always there. As soon as I read that, I thought of my best friends - my sisters. I also knew the background paper I'd use. This is a very simply card but very meaningful to me! So, Debbie and Terri - don't look cuz you're getting it in the mail :)


This card is the Stars & Stamps Blog challenge to make a card for our heroes to send home to their kids. I got this digi from a blog hop or contest and loved it. I don't do much coloring with pencils or markers but I like this. Looks like a boy :)


Keep my nephew Alex and cousin Jess in your prayers. Alex is finishing his training in the Marine Corps and Jess is in Afghanistan (he just got in-country this week). Also pray for a good friend of my son's - JT, he is doing his para-rescue training in the Air Force. I'm proud of these young men.
