Father's Day #4

Hi Everyone!

Happy Father's Day!

(I promise this is my last post with Father's Day cards until next year!)

This last one is another card for my Husband- but this one is from just me.

This card has lots of things on it that Josh loves.

 

He loves to camp.  He loves smores.  He loves me (Hey- I made the card)- but I love him "s'more".

And- he loves porcupines.

Ok- I made the last one up.  Maybe he doesn't love porcupines- but this one's cute- right!?!

(BTW- if I tell him to like porcupines- then he'll like porcupines!)

:0)

This card was really fun to make.

The background paper is from the Silhouette store.  I printed it out in B&W and in color for the frame.

The porcupine is from Cricut Campin' Critters

Sentiment is PBD Woodland Critters

Thanks for stopping by!

Fathers Day #3

Hi Everyone!

Today is a Father's day card for my husband's Dad.

Steve is a pretty traditional man so when I saw the fishing boy and his dog-it made me think of him.  Steve's black lab that he's had for years recently passed away.  This dog was everything to the man so the local (small town) vet's office had another black lab that they gave to him. 

The dog's name:  Peaches

If you knew Steve you would find this as hilarious as I do!

:0)

Peaches loves Steve and Steve loves Peaches.

And they lived happily ever after......

Happy Father's Day Steve!

Father's Day #2

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!!

I have been so busy lately making Father's Day cards!

Today I want to show a card I made for my Husband (Josh if you're reading this- look away now!).

I saw this silhouette shape in the Silhouette store the other day and immediately thought of my husband and 2 daughters.  I knew right then that this was the card for him!

The Chevron background was also from the Silhouette store.

When this was all put together, I went through my stash of Pink by Design stamps to find the perfect sentiment.  

The stamp set that was on the top of my pile was Scripted Year (probably because this is my "go to" set).

I saw the "Love" sentiment right away but kept looking trying to find the perfect words.

I found several sentiments that would have worked but I kept going back to "Love".

One word.

There is nothing that says it better.

It's my day to post on the Pink By Design site too!
PBD has started a new weekly challenge, Ink it Pink, that you should check out.
This week is all about Masculine projects!

Also, check out the card I made for my Dad!

Father's Day #1

Hi Everyone!

The girls have been away at camp for the last few days so I've have lots of quality time with my Husband and lots of quality crafty time too!

I've been busy making Father's day cards.  I've never really been very good at making "man" cards- but I think I'm getting better.

For the next few days I'll share my cards, who they're for, and what inspired me to make what I made.

My first card is for my Dad. 

Jim, Jimmy Do, Borgnine, Papa D- he'll answer to any of them.  

(Since I was little) He's always said, " You can call me anything- just don't call me late for dinner."

That's a "Jim-ism" as we call them in our family.

PDB: Just 4 Men, Silhouette Cameo

The background paper made me think of my dad.  He has a shirt just like it.

If it had short sleeves and a hole in the pocket- it would be like you were looking right at him.

(if you knew my dad you would totally get this!)

The tie on the other hand is SO NOT my dad, but hey- it's a special occasion-

It's Father's Day!

Ink It Pink

Hi Everyone!

Today I made a card to submit to the first Pink by Design Ink It Pink Challenge!

I never have a "Congratulations" card when I need one, so I whipped this up to have in my card stash.

The challenge is to use words as a background.

The "Congratulations" is from the Pink by Design set Giant Greetings.

I also used a wooden tag and stamped "Bravo" from the "Our Kids" set.

Top it all off with some 3 Girl JAM Baby Boy Crinkle Ribbon.

Done!

The challenge goes through Tuesday- and there is a new one every week- so stop by and link up your projects.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy June 1st!

Happy June 1st!!

No more homework, no more books...

No more teacher's dirty looks!

HaHa.  That's what my kids were singing (last week already) when they got out of school for the Summer!

We have one last Graduation to attend this weekend for my sweet niece Lorretta.  (Soon enough it will be my own kids!)

High School graduation is a time of big dreams and goals- and Lorretta has them!

I made a Memory Book mini album as a gift for Lorretta so she can keep photos, and other things that are important to her, close at hand when she goes off to college.

 Each "page" is actually an envelope that can hold keepsakes.
There are 10 pages that are bound together with a spiral ring binding.

I also made her Graduation card.

It is my day to post on the Pink By Design site, so please stop by for the details on this card.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!
