HERO

I have three of the most wonderful sons any Mother could ever hope for! Each works as hard as he can in his chosen career and does there very best to take of their families. Of course, they are my favorite scrapbook subjects, and I often do use this forum to "Show-Them-Off". Today is another one of those moments, lol!

I have two sons in the military, and both really do love it. I always have to ask them what the ever-growing rows of service ribbons means on their uniforms. Recently, Nick's wife helped me take care of this problem, in regards to Nicholas' Service by sending me a list. Thank you Dawn!!! I got it scrapped on a patriotic page for family and friends! Carolyn, you need to do the same so I can do one for Michael!

I used the CELEBRATE LIBERTY-2009 Page set and the ALPHA by Rina Kroes

I have all his career info on the page including,

His Duty Stations:
1999-2004 EN-4303 Assault Craft Unit 1 (ACU-1)
2004-2004 EN-4624 USS Oriole (MHC-55)
2004-2005 EN-4324 USS Cardinal (MHC-60)
2005-2006 EN-4324 USS Comorant (MHC-57)
2006-2009 EN-4291 COMMINEWARCOM/COMCMRON

I also have his Service Ribbons:

Now I will wait on the info from my Oldest Son, Michael, and I will make a page for him making an awesome two-pager for their Military Albums!

Happy Scrappin!

RAWR

Kimberly Stewart has been busy once again and today she has released the cutest dinosaurs with the RAWR Kit . They are just waiting to adorn your scrapbook pages! I used the cuties with the TV Theme Song Lyrics from the PBS show Dragon Tales for my journaling on this page with one of my Grandsons swirling and dancing in his own little world as he plays in the warm spring sunshine. I also used it to make a little Christmas gift album for my Great Nephew Here is the link once again for this cute kit, Kimberly Stewart's RAWR kit and remember all All New Releases are 25% off - Sunday and Monday Only And in reply to the Anonymous Comment from previous post, yes, I am aware that the music on my site uses the bandwidth of site visitors...some approve, some do not. Some like the blinkies, some do not. Although I would love to please everyone, alas, I can not; so I just please myself and do my best not to offend anyone in the process. I hope each of you come to visit me o...

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c...
