"Your Are My Sonshine"

I just love this new "Fine and Dandy" collection from My Mind's Eye and it is just the perfect paper and embellishments for this layout of my son and grandson.  I created this page for Colorful Creations Trains & Tiaras  "You Are My Sonshine" Challenge.  For the challenge you are to create a layout that focuses on a father & son relationship, add a quote or poem and use the word" SON" in your journaling or title.  My layout is based on this sketch from My Little Sketch Blook:

Here is the layout I created:

Operation Write Home

There is a very special challenge at Colorful Creations this month. We are working alongside Operation Write Home to provide handmade cards for our troops overseas to send home to their loved ones.

Operation Write Home (OWH) is an organization that sends blank handmade greeting cards for all occasions to deployed service members to write home on. They’ve mailed approximately 500,000 cards so far—and are still going strong!



Please join us in this event and show our troops how much they are appreciated.  Head on over to 
Our Colorful Creations Blog for details on this wonderful event.  The event runs from October 1, 2010 until November 1, 2010.
