Memorial Day Remembered (click here to view my blog)




 
My dad and I had a very special day together.  We went to the Memorial Day Service at the Clovis Memorial Cemetery and the Clovis Veterans Memorial District Building in Old Town Clovis. 

The 450 large flags were on full display at the Clovis Cemetery.  It is very important to my dad since he helped make the flags a reality for the Clovis Cemetery  through the American Legion Post 147 Clovis. 

In the program there was a quote from President Ronald Reagan dated May 21, 1982.  "Memorial Day is about honoring service members who gave the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country.  Whether in battle, in support of combat operations, or having died in the line of duty just doing their jobs.  It is also a day to reflect on knowing these sacrifices come because your country's military is protecting our nation and all it stands for and remains continuously ready to do."

We were treated to a concert by the Clovis Community Band, conducted by Dan Lindstrum.  The presentations and slide shows were very moving and touching.  Lunch was served afterwards.  I would highly recommend this for next year! 

God bless America!

Karen

May 13Endless Birthday Wishes

Endless Birthday Wishes:  by concept artist at Stampin' Up, Jen C.

Working for Stampin’ Up! is an incredible experience. There are so many great opportunities—such as the chance to design stamp sets. Our employees and demonstrators have accepted me into the Stampin’ Up! family and have embraced my unique skills and abilities. I’m continually growing as a person and an artist. I feel blessed to be a part of something so amazing!
I’m excited to share our newest photopolymer set, Endless Birthday Wishes (Item# 137553), which includes some of my handwritten words and drawings. It’s similar to the set we offered for the holidays last year called Endless Wishes. The concept is that you can build lots of different birthday greetings (and more) by combining the handwritten words with typed words and phrases. And with photopolymer stamps (US/CA), grouping words and phrases together is simple.



Enjoy! I’m excited to see what you make with this new set.
Jen C.

Here's the page layout for this week.  I'm going to make it a Baby Page.  Underneath the "Hello", I'm going to place a stamped and die cut that says, Sweet Baby.  I wanted to keep this generic so that you can spin it to your needs.  I've thought of a reunion and travel.  You could die cut the letters for whatever title you want.  Suggestions: 
  • Hello Spring or Summer
  • Hello Dallas (someone I know just moved to Dallas and that what they said on Facebook)
  • Hello Sweet Baby
Here are the supplies:

Card Stock:  Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black
Designer Series Paper:  Watercolor  Wonder
Big Shot:  Label Framelit Dies, Hello Die
Template
Stamp Set:  Apothecary Art, Baby, We've Grown
Ink:  StazOn Black
