Happy Father's Day!!

This is my 900th post!!!!!!! Wow!!! I began blogging in 2006 but it was only a handful of posts for a few years and then it became a regular part of my life in 2008.  Here's to 900 more! Woohoo!

I've been on a roll today with making cards so this is a first of 3 posts so that I can get all my cards in before the challenges end.  First up we have a card for my stepdad.  I had such fun making it this morning (don't you wait til the morning of when you need a card? no??  why not?!) I find I work much better under pressure :)

I am sharing this card with The Pink Elephant #152 - Masculine and I Spy Sketches #20 (whose sketch was based off a Lori Boyd card who is the TPE owner!)

Here is my card~

I made an absolute mess while creating this card. First I put together the base of the card and splatted it with Studio Calico Mister Huey's Mists in Manila. Then I masked the image panel with a rectangle and sprayed the mist over it. After that I colored the image, paper pieced the shirt and stamped the sentiment. Next up I cut these tools from MFT Die-namics using silver cardstock from PTI and spritzed them with the mist. Then I had to clean up my huge mess since the mist was everywhere!!

Here's a close up of the tools!

Here is the sketch from I Spy Sketches - I flipped it so I could hang the tools on the bottom of the panel.

TFL!!

Father's Day with PaperCutz!

TGIF!!

I'm finally back to creating YAY!  My legs are doing a bit better, not completely healed but much better than they were.

Today's PaperCutz Challenge is to make a card, layout or project for Father's Day using a tag or tags and any colors you'd like.  Click HERE to enter your creation and be inspired by all the wonderful DT samples.
Seeing as I bought my stepdad a card (for shame lol, but I didn't know if I would be up for cardmaking), I wasn't sure what to make and then I saw my friend Sue's card and was inspired to make a card for Mike from our dog Amber.

I used my Taylored Expressions project pantry kit to make this card.  The papers and stickers are from the Basic Grey Max & Whiskers collection. I had to add the rhinestones to make the dog look girly lol. 

And since I used a dark card base I decided to decorate the inside a bit.  

I am sure Mike will love the card from his little girl :)  Aren't they adorable together? This was taken on Sunday at my husband's birthday picnic. 

Thanks for looking! Hope you all have a great weekend!!

Happy Father's Day!

I finally got my card done for my stepdad about 5 p.m. today lol, yes I was a last minute slacker!
