Cooking With Cricut The Year in Review

This week the challenge at Cooking With Cricut is to showcase your favorite project of the the year.  This was so easy for me to do. My very favorite project was the birthday card I made for my dad.

My dad, a US Marine served in the Pacific Theater of WWII. He was critically injured on Guam.  After his unit left Guam they went to Iwo Jima where few survived.  He said his injuries on Guam saved his life.  He was hospitalied for over a year after being hijured.  My dad celebrated his 88th birthday this year and is still proud to call himself a US Marine.   The photo is of my dad when he went on the Honor Flight to Washington to see the WWII Memorial.  

And here is the last photo of the card.  This is a photo of a the work "Uncommon Valor" done for the Marines' 135th birthday.  It was unveiled at the US Marines's Museum in VA.  The artist is Don Stewart and is local here in the Birmingham area.  You can see more of Don's work at http://dsart.com/    I gave my dad a signed and numbered print of this a year ago for Christmas.  My dad and the US Marines have the same birthday, November 10th.  

The reason this was my favorite project is that it meant so much to my dad!  

Please go over to  Cooking With Cricut  and see what else the design team is showcasing as their favorites of the year.  And most of all we want you to showcase your favorite project of the year!!  

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
