Counterfeit Kit Club Challenge #1

counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com

Challenge #1: Border Craze:  Use dies cuts, stickers, gems, stamps...to create a border around your page!  Get creative.
 This is my attempt at using diecuts to make a border around the page.
We rode our Wing that we named the Orange Blossom Special in 48 of the 50 states plus 3 provinces in Canada.  It took us about 10 years to do it. We took our vacation every year and Charlie, my brother Butch and I would map out a course so that we made it to different states every vacation.  Sometimes we just went to states we had already been in just because and sometimes we went on the mission to see the states we needed in order to make all the states.  This year 2015 we were supposed to make the Alaska trip but this past June we had a horrible crash that nearly took my husband and spent a little over 5 weeks in ICU on life support.  Our Blossom was totaled but we made it out alive.  God blessed us and we are here today to tell the story of Gods protection over us.  We had little campers that we camped in and we truly enjoyed every minute of the journey.

  1. Nice page, Virginia, the embellishments guide the eye around the page. That is quite a lot of traveling.

  2. Oh my goodness,...so glad that you had divine protection. The bike is so pretty. Sometimes God has such different plans for us than we do. Hopefully, your husband is having a full recovery.

    Thanks for sharing your story. It's a great page giving tribute to a friend that took you on some wonderful adventures.
