The Fitztown Challenge blog is officially one year old, and the team is celebrating! As a guest designer for May & June, I was asked to join in the celebration, and of course, I said, "YES!"  All week long, on the Fitztown Challenge blog, you'll find posts about celebrations -- birthdays, graduations, births, weddings -- you get the idea -- any cause to celebrate!  So check out the blog every day this week.

Here's the blog hop lineup, in case you just stumbled across my blog:

If you've been with us the whole hop, you know all the wonderful different collections from the Fitztown Store are being showcased today.  I was given the Last Enchanters to work with, and chose image LE5 to create this:

Do you remember being young, and you thought you could be anyone, and do anything?  I used to get so caught up in my imagination.  That's what this image makes me think of -- Imagine!

I colored the Last Enchanters image with Copic markers, then mounted in on Patriotic designer papers, as this is Memorial Day.

Now hop on to Kate's blog.  I know she has something fantastic to inspire you!  We hope you enjoy the wonderful projects.  Make sure you visit the blog each day this week, and link up your own celebration projects.

Hawg Heaven for FWF

It's Tuesday evening and I'm writing my FWF post, scheduling it to go live Friday at midnight.  I'm leaving early Wednesday morning, heading across the state with my 3 Goldens, going on a road trip to see my BFF.  I hope to use her computer Friday morning to link up my FWF post before I head back home on Friday.

My husband bought a new Harley yesterday.  This is his second one.  I must ask, when do you have enough Harley's?  He went through a mid-life crisis at 45, got his motorcycle license, bought a motorcycle, and shortly traded up to a Harley, then a bigger Harley.  I thought we were done.  Silly me.  They built the bike of his dreams this year.  But he couldn't trade his other Harley.  IT'S his baby.  Well, if any of you have men with big toys, I'm guessing you can relate to this story.  And, you may be wondering why I'm sharing it and where I'm going with it.  His boss gave him the afternoon off yesterday so he could go buy his new bike, then RIDE it for the rest of the afternoon.  It was the first sunny, relatively warm day we've had in weeks, so he treasured every moment of it, riding his NEW dream bike.  The last bike he'll ever need.  Until the next dream bike comes along.

So, this evening, in the midst of packing, I whipped together a thank you card for his boss -- also a motorcycle rider.  And, here it is:

I used the Unity set called "Hawg" to stamp the bike.  The "thanks" sentiment is a Close To My Heart set.  I used Basic Grey PBJ 12x12 papers for the card.  The sky blue base of the card is CTMH. I stamped using CTMH Pacifica ink. Lifestyle Crafts circle cutters were used.

And, it's time to get back to packing! Those dogs need food while we're gone.
