I want to thank everyone for all the wonderful comments and feedback I have received so far...it was very uplifting and gave me huge smiles! I also was very touched to hear about many stories of your loved ones whom have also passed on and I am just so glad that I could give you a little inspiration in helping you with your wonderful tribute for them. Today I have another tribute....to give honor to those who serve and put their lives on the line for our freedom and Country. I wanted to honor a close friend that I have known since Junior High School that is serving our Country right now in the Military Branch of the Army. He has been deployed three times in front-line Infantry and is home safely...thank the LORD! I haven't had the chance to do any military layouts before so this was a treat and such an honor to create =D

Now on to my project for today. I wanted to share with you a layout that I created of my family's dear close friends who were murdered in their home just last week from a break in. Its so tragic and such a shock. I felt I needed to create a tribute to them and have a poem that goes along with it that I and their close friends and family could read to help their hearts go through this.
Here is the layout:

The Poem:

Weep not for me though I am gone, into the gentle night. Grieve if you will, but not for long with my sweet soul's flight. I am at peace, my soul is at rest...I am in the arm's of the Angels. There is no need for tears, I am safe in the wings of the Angels and with your love I was blessed. There is no more pain I suffer not, all the fear is gone.Put now these things out of your thoughts and let my memories live on. Remember not to strife. Please do not dwell on my death, but celebrate my life.

Recipe for the Layout:

This layout I did as a digital layout since I really wanted the clouds and fantasy look. I normally do traditional scrapbooking but for this particular layout it called for a digital theme. Little Scraps of Heaven had the perfect little Angel bears and Heaven's gate that incorporated so well with the layout. What is so wonderful about their files is the .png file that come with it that you can do a digital scrapbook layout with them as well.

The digital kit that I used was called "In Winter's Arms" and you can

check it out HERE

I think you all might want some blog candy, YEAH?? Well...I have some for you!!!! Here it is: 

 3 BIRDS ON PARADE CARTRIDGE

Berry Sweet Scrapbook Layout

Here is my show and tell for today =D I entered this in over at the Cooking with 

the Cricut Sweet Shop Blog hop. The theme is Sweet and you can check out the details HERE

You have a chance to win many cool prizes such as a prize pack from Oh My Crafts or a 1 year subscription to The Bug Magazine...very exciting stuff! Crossing my fingers =D

The recipe for this layout:

All paper and embellishments are K and Company's Berry Sweet line.

The circle frame was cut from the Sweet Treats cartridge...I made it like a 7.5 inch flower and presented it as a frame mat for a picture. I hand pieced

the bear. 

Candlelight Kid's Valentine's Dinner

With my battery operated candelight setting and heart

shaped pancakes per my little boy's requests it made for a

very memorable Valentine's dinner. They were so impressed over this

dinner set up =D  

Heart jello jigglers for dessert =D

Valentine's Day Bento Lunch

Sharing with you the bento lunch I made my little Jayden today for his school lunch. I found these really cute heart shaped cookie cutters at Target and the largest one of the nested set worked perfectly for my heart sandwich =D I used the littlest cutter to make the red pepper hearts on top of the sandwich and then

sliced some more red peppers under the heart shaped cheddar cheese (shown on the left) I added as a little treat some pink wafer cookies. Fruit choice was sliced kiwi with little heart food picks

My Son Jayden's Valentine's Class Party

FINALLY got these done after several hours! These are

goodie bags that have a friendship candy necklace that I gave  each child to make and eat. The scallop tag says"Friendship warms the heart" I purchased the cutting file from Silhouette.com My wishblade didn't cut the phrases well enough so I hand to hand cut the outlines **sigh** The red-polka dot scallop circle was punched  with a 3" punch. The blue inner circle cut from a 2.5 circle off of George Basic Shapes cartridge and I used my 2" hand punch for the white inner circle. The polka dot ribbon was purchased from Michael's. The friendship necklace kits I actually found on clearance at Target in a box that contained enough to do 10 necklaces for only 5 dollars!!! =D

Done with the class goodie bags on the right...these are the bingo prizes that each child will get as their prize. I bought the polka dot bags at target for only a dollar for all of them and inside is a small box of cards (Tinkerbell for girls...cars movie for boys) and a lolli pop. I bought the 24 boxes of cards all for only 4.99 at Target =D I made the bag topper on them with red with white stitched ribbon purchased at Michael's, Blue lace heart that is a punch by Martha Stewart purchased again at Michaels and cut the little hearts from the George Basic shape Cricut cartridge. The scallop circle on the front is a 3" scallop circle hand punch. I made the cutting file for the scallop trim candy

bag topper.

This is what I was up late last night doing lol! I couldn't believe 

I talked myself into printing out and then cutting and then pasting 22 Valentine Mobile craft projects for the class party but

they turned out so cute!!! I found this free printable

for the mobiles on the canon.com website =D

Jayden is doing his very first Valentine's card list =D

Jayden's Valentines cards for his class...after I had already made like 11 lady bug handmade cards Jayden pouted and said "but mommy I want to give them a treat and also the girls really like hello kitty not ladybugs" sooo...found these hello kitty candy box cards at Target for. Dollar each =D then to make it even more exciting was finding the toy story ones for the boys and the saying is "best friends" rather than "be mine" lol! Jayden signed each one himself =D

Here is the class pictures...we had a blast!

Me and my son Jayden

The Friendship Candy Necklaces were a hit!

Here is how the heart mobiles turned out
