This is for American Idol Challenge #5 - You decide!
I hardly ever scrap anything other than my DD, so I decided to switch it up for another love of my life - my DH.
This picture is of him on his first flight in his plane, the F-15E. For the song, I chose the theme from 'Top Gun'. Eventhough it is a Navy movie, and we are Air Force, it is still one of the best military movies and I often think of him when we watch it.
Top Gun came out in the 80's, so for the background paper, I chose something that reminded me of acid washed jeans. I combined the acid wash with metal objects to play off the aviator sunglasses that were also so popular during the decade.
I tried several different sewing techniques, which were all a first for me. I sewed on the bomb flag, the star buttons, part of the quote and picture, and sewed twice around the 'dream' metal word.
The quote says, "You can be my wingman anytime. - Iceman".

Awesome job on this, Liz. Did I ever tell you that when my brother got married, one of those "Remove before flight" tags was attached to Adrienne's garter? That was hilarious when they did the garter toss and here comes this humongous tag. I wonder what the meaning is behind a garter toss and why we do that anyway? Oh hey, you've now done one more AF page than I have!!
