A group of wonderfully creative friends decided to team up and honor the men in our life. All of us in the blog hop are Stampin' Up Demonstrators who are united by our love of all things crafty! In this Masculine Themed Blog Hop you will see their amazing creativity. If you have arrived from Michelle's wonderful blog project, you are in the right place!
On this Memorial Day Weekend, my project harkens back to the days when I would go boating with my Father.
From his early days, Dad was known to love the water.
This love brought him to join the Marines.
On his 88th birthday, he was honored with a Congressional Gold Medal as a Montford Point Marine - one of the first Black Marines in the United States.
Into his retirement years, Dad would often take us camping at our lake house and we had a boat there. Even after suffering a spinal cord injury, Dad enjoyed the return visits to the lake.
My main project harkens back to those days we spent out on the water boating together. Visiting various lighthouses was a treat for us!
I chose a CAS (clean and simple) format for this card.
My project features traditional nautical colors which to me translate to Night of Navy and Crumb Cake. I love the detailed simplicity of the Sailing Home Stamp Set featuring the light house and sail boat. The Painted Texture embossing folder mimics the temptest of the sea.
Up Next, you will travel to Sharon’s wonderful project. I appreciate you stopping to check out my project. Please be sure to leave some blog love!
