FCCB Challenge #314 ~ Thanks(giving)

Hello everyone! I'm finally back to my normal crafting routine after many weeks off, which means the fires are over and our house and property are unharmed.... Thank God! However, we continue to pray for those who weren't so lucky. It's so surreal to drive through town and realize that about half of our whole town is just gone.... burned to the ground. Santa Rosa is not alone in this as several other neighboring towns were largely destroyed as well. It's going to take this community many years to recover from this catastrophic event and rebuild entire neighborhoods. 

Anyway, let's move on to a happier subject....  It's Monday so that means it's time for another Challenge Me Monday at FCCB. To see the guidelines and join us just click on the box directly below. I look forward to seeing what you create!

Thank you for visiting me and I wish you a fantabulous day! 

My Super Hero

Hi again! I don't want to jinx myself but I think I fixed the problem of some of you not being able to see my pics. If you still can't see them, please let me know (so I can set my computer on fire, lol).

Anyway I hope you all had a nice V-day! The hubs & I just chilled at home with the dogs & had dinner, then he was asleep by 9:00 (sigh), lol. He gets me with the same joke on every holiday/bithday, which is "can you make me a real nice card to give to you?" Ha ha ha. So, I've just decided that what he really means is I should go buy myself some more supplies. That sounds logical right? lol.

Anyway, here is the V-day card I made for him.....
                
          

First off, the SV stands for Super Vinny (that's his name but no - he's not Italian at all, lol). I used my Gypsy & Imagine for this project, which I finally successfully downloaded the Imagine app! OMG! this is so cool I can't even stand it!!

This is a 5 x 7" card & the base is Kraft cardstock. The bird image & the wording are from the "3 Birds on Parade" Cricut cartridge. The "you're" above the sentiment is from a K Andrew Designs stamp set called "Owly Hoo", which I heat embossed. The background cloud paper is from a Debbie Mumm stack that doesn't have a name on it. The grassy hill is from the "Pop-Up Neighborhood" cart & the sun is from "Simply Charmed". I used Stickles in lime green, Black Diamond, Xmas red & Diamond, also some Glossy Accents on the sun & his beak. The little accent dots are from a Micron05 pen.

And that's all folks! I will be posting several new projects this week, including some challenge entries, if you want to stop back over & check them out. Thank you so much for visiting today! Have a great rest of your weekend!
