I am the challenge hostess for HYCCT1430 with the theme Hope Soars. I created this card with my father in mind. He passed away from colon cancer when I was still young in my flying career. But when I graduated from USAF Pilot Training, I'm not sure who was happier, him or me!! He was so proud of what I had accomplished!! I still remember him flying in the simulator during my graduation week. He was a natural!
I created the clouds using the DSP and my Big Shot die. I chose to focus on some of the words in the print for one of the clouds. I folded the paper airplane out of another print. More details here:

Adorable little paper plane and great CAS design. I love that you shared the story of your DAD with us - he obviously had every right to feel very proud of you.

Oh Jen, you sure gave us a wonderful challenge! How awesome that your Dad was so involved in and proud of you when your graduated USAF pilot school!! I love that this card brings your Dad to mind, and, even though it is very simple, the dynamics and thoughts still make the heart soar!!
Thanks for making MY day too!!
