My Project has a little story behind it.. I pondered for a long while on what exactly I wanted to do for this hop. Sometimes I get nervous about what exactly I want to do.. Then other times I am just blank. I wanted to do something in the line of Father's Day, but what exactly, was eluding me. So my hubs came in one day after a storm had swept through. He had been outside looking at our garden. He said to me "we had a crash landing in our garden". I looked at him with the biggest HUH?! look. He laughed and pulled out this little toy glider that was picked up from who knows where from the storm. Almost instantly I knew what I wanted to do for this hop! Yup I took the plane and ran with it! I actually used it to make a pattern and all! Here is what I came up with..

I had to invent the tail wings, but all in all was the exact pattern from the little glider. I traced it out on some thin cardboard. Then covered it with the Cogs and Gear Sheet form the Marion Smith's "Timekeeper" collection. I used a Petaloo Darjeeling Mini Mix in Cream as a makeshift propeller. I thought it looked like the engine was on and it was ready for takeoff! For the cockpit I used a little section from the Tinker sheet of the Timekeeper papers. I also added a little bit of Petaloo lace in cream for details here and there. The plane needed a banner to fly also! Just to tell Dad just how loved he is! Here are some pics of the banner area..


  On this area I used more of the Darjeelings Mini Mix and a the Gorgeous Botanica's in Teal. To kinda give a cloud like look (and to slip in some more flowers too ;) ). I used some more of the Tinker sheet from the Timekeeper collection to make my banner and stamped some sayings.  I did used little buttons from my stash as wheels too. This was a super fun project to do! It would make a great project for the little ones to get involved with too for Dad! Here are a couple of pics of the banner and plane as a whole..
