Happy Father's Day

This is my card for my husband. Our children celebrated him last week during their birthday party. But I would like to honor him on Father's Day with this card and a book "Pops: Fatherhood in Pieces" by Michael Chabon recommended by a New York Times best selling author.

This card was made with Art Impressions "Love Bird" stamp set, Avery Elle's "Simply Said Happy" for the sentiment and Simon Says Stamp's " Playful Messages" for the inside sentiment. The frames are "Fine Frames" by Altenew. The stamping ink was Versafine Onyx Black. The watercolor is Kuretake Gansai Tambi.

Father's Day 2015

My husband has been camping lately.  He loves to sit back and just enjoy nature.  So here is the perfect stamp for him! We have two Dachshund sisters that we rescued last year. They came to us wearing purple and pink harnesses so we could tell them apart. I colored their stamped sweaters those colors. They came to us over weight so the rule was no human food. Guess who they know to be an easy mark for a treat?

So cute - Judy and Julie!!!

Whoop! Whoop! Let's Hear It For the Guest Hopper!!!

I am so excited to have won the Unity {be inspired} Challenge! One of the prizes (besides a BOAT LOAD OF STAMPS) is a chance to be a Guest blog hopper! So here goes.....

The Hop starts here on Thursday 2.26 with the Unity Blog.

I have a few cards to share with you.

This is the "birdie conversation" set. I colored the birdie with Copics and used Distress ink for the background. The patterned paper is American crafts and I die cut it using Stitched Rectangles and Squares.

The stamp is Donna Downey "poppies". The sentiment is from "Everything Easter". I watercolored with Distress Ink for this card after heat embossing with white embossing powder.

This is the front of the card and below is the inside. I used "Love Brings You Home".

I used the "J{our}ney" stamp from the "Explore. Discover. Escape." stamp set.

The background stamp is a map of Rome from Hero Arts.  The frame and stamp is from Sizzix. This card is for a friend's engagement. She is a world traveler!

This is the "Welcome to the Hood" set. Thanks to Angeline Choo for the inspiration! When I saw her cute card I knew I had to have that stamp!

I used Unity sentiments for this card.

I used "#Hashtag Kit", "Elephant Behind", and a "Age is Only a Number". This is my husband's birthday card. We have two black and tan, long-haired dachshunds, hence the coloring of the dog. The image on the inside of the card (the back end of the dog) wiggles like it is wagging her tail!
