OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on February 1, 2014 at 1:44pm: Doreen...So glad you found that website useful. I googled the product and that was the first site that came up that had it for sale. You are going to LOVE it! That is so awesome that you found some other items to use for your pages on the site too.

Percussionvalentine...I didn't see the Graphic 45 stuff, but now I'm going to look for it. My lss carries that paper line too and usually I don't like their stuff all too much because it's just too busy for me. But...maybe I will like some aspects of it. Thanks for the heads up. Have a GREAT time at Scrapbook Expo. I love those conventions! I haven't been to one in a few years, but I really want to go to one again soon. They have one about 2 hours from here in the fall and another one that is about 5 hours from here in the summer. I doubt I'll be going to any soon though as we are saving our money for HS graduation and my son shipping off to GL out of Boise which is a 6hr drive and then saving our money for PIR in late August. But maybe, just maybe...by the time October rolls around, I'll recover from all the traveling and be able to go. Even just to go to the convention floor and look at all the vendors. I miss that the most! So glad you love your Silhouette. I LOVE mine too! There are TONS of tutorials out there online so google it and see what you can find. You will learn so much more. I still haven't used mine to it's fullest potential. I'm actually using my machine right now to cut out numbers for my twin boys' graduation announcements.

Happy Scrappin' ladies!

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 1, 2014 at 10:01am: Sierrascrapper - thanks for telling us about this sight. I bought some of the paper. Also, I found some NC and SC stickers I haven't seen at the local stores. I have to scrapbook our trip to Charleston and Asheville. I am almost finished with my 2012 book and will be able to start this vacation album. My friend and I have planned several all day scrapbooking marathons for Feb/Mar. Already had about 4 of them so far. Have gotten a lot done.

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on January 31, 2014 at 8:19pm: Enabler alert! There is an AWESOME new line of paper that just came out at the CHA show a couple weeks ago. It is called Anchored and it's made by Authentique Paper Co. The paper is very nautical and more grown up than much of what I have seen around. Here's a link so that you can see what it looks like Authentique Anchored I bought a BUNCH of it at my lss last week as soon as it arrived. You are going to LOVE it!

Comment by cathy on November 4, 2013 at 11:08am: I am so excited! I just went on FB and found out that I have won 45 Elizabeth Craft peel offs! This has really made my day. I never win anything so this is a big and wonderful surprise to me.

Comment by cathy on November 1, 2013 at 10:30am: It just hit me. Black Friday is coming up soon. Last year I really stocked up on supplies. I told myself it was part of my Christmas shopping but I lied to myself. LOL! I was wondering if anyone had some favorite websites. I have recently discovered oozak.com which has free shipping with a $50.00 purchase. Joanns runs some great sales. Their shipping varies but is also free with $50.00 purchase.
