Lala,  im down in the ft. lauderdale area which is about 4 hours south of where you all go. Where you go is near the Tampa area & there used to be stores there, not sure whats left. alot of my scrappy friends that we travel with are up that way.

I did the same thing with that paper and used the phrases to do a whole scrapbook :) One of the places I used to get a lot of scrapbook stuff online went out of business :( I think I use Michael's, and AC Moore the most, we don't have Hobby Lobby. I do have to drive at least 45 min to get any craft supplies and I wish there was something local. I also make a lot of my own stuff and like designing new stuff on my computer :) LauriB what part of FL are you in? We vacation in the New Port Richey/Clear Water area every year and I usually have a make and take get together when we are there :)

I've tried to go back to the beginning of the group and read up,  can you girls let me know of some of the sites to get military scrapbook supplies... also if you all are posting pictures of your stuff, where are you all posting to?  is it on this site somewhere or your own blogs per say...   

I to got started the CM way, but quickly outgrew it and it's confines. I've seen great stuff come out from some of the home based like CTMH & Stamping up. there is just so much stuff out there it's amazing, but the industry has also died down in the years and there is less and less.  

right now, my son is waiting to start his A-school in GL, it's been delayed so he's just hanging out.  Is there anyone on this group that lives in the South Florida area?  if you do & want to ever get together, let me know, also i belong to a traveling group, where we do crops all over the state of florida, just had a weekend retreat in Sebring, FL & sarasota, tampa, all over.. it's alot of fun to get away.   have a great day ladies :)

@ Sierrascrapper....sneezed stickers....bahahaha!!  That made my day!  I have scrapbooks like that. 

I really need to get on it with my son's.  He's currently deployed and I have all kinds of stuff to scrapbook prior to deployment.  I'm just getting the stuff together and placing them in the page protectors to get them in order.  I'm saving room for his certificates and such.  I've printed off copies of his medals and ribbons, since the real thing would be too bulky.  Since I went digital with my camera, I make more books than scrapbooks, but some things are better in scrapbooks.  He's already told me he can't wait to see his NAVY scrapbook.  Better get busy.

Welcome Ellen65! You can do this I promise. Don't over think your pages. I've been scrap booking for 16 years and I have never re-done a layout. Even the first ones I made that look like someone sneezed stickers all over them. LOL. It's a reminder of the beginning of my new hobby.

Yes that is Navy camo paper. I will look at which paper company makes it when I get home today. great idea to cut out the individual words as embellishments. I plan on doing the same.

Good Morning, I'm new to the scrapbooking world, just started my very first for my son's Navy Adventures!  He graduated from Recruit Training at the beginning of August and is at GL for E-PACT Training now so I'm new to the Navy world too.  I found the Navy dress blues scrapbook that is really neat and printed off some pics from the NRT FB page and web site, ordered pages, emblems and stickers, etc from Scrapbook.com site, very NEAT!  So I think I've finished with the BC section, but now I look back at the first pages and want to redo them... uhg.   I've read through prior posts and found some of you shop at Sizzix.com, Michaels and Joann's for supplies... so much to choose from I'm a little dizzy now!  But, as  new to the empty nest world too, I'm glad to have a fun hobby I can do from home.  Sierrascrapper - I found the same paper you have in your pic here and cut out the individual sayings to use as embellishment, very neat, is that blue camo too?  I didn't see that anywhere, can you direct me?

I found some new Navy scrapbook supplies today. I got a set of stickers from Jolee's that's probably been around a bit, but I've never looked before so new to me. I also found some GREAT papers from Creative Imaginations and Reminisce.  There was a laser die cut of a CVN but the number is fake.  I thought I'd share with you all...
