Father's Day

This year I thought I'd get smart and use the same format for each card I had to make. I always make 3 - my FIL, my step-dad AND my dad. After the hours I put into these I may as well have made a different one for each cuz using the same format/sketch didn't save me any time. DARNIT!! Well, if I could just learn to LEAVE them a bit simpler I might save time but oooooooooh noooooooooooooo!!! I used the Mojo Monday sketch and ideas from the designer cards for week 90. Manly bling? Well, if there's such a thing I have it! LOL!! Black!! :)

The best thing about these cards??? I AM ON TIME!! Woo Hooooo!

Magnolia Picking Lilacs

Love love LOVE this stamp!! I joined A Spoon Full of Sugar: Challenge 54 and I just love the sketch too! It's not often I get to work with these colors and I don't even really know how it happened. LOL! The bg paper is Basic Grey Mellow, the flowers are some misc flowers & Prima, Fiskars border punch, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch and scalloped nestability. I also tried some Flower soft my friend Sheri gave me. OMG CUTE and colored with Copics. :)

Ships Ahoy!!

I borrowed this Ships Ahoy SU set from my mom. With Father's Day coming up, I need quite a few cards! I also took the Mojo Monday challenge for my layout. I distressed the edges, used cork for my sailboat bg, the washers are from Stamping Bella and used my embossing Cuttlebug swirls folder.

Heartfelt Thanks

I don't make sympathy cards often (thank goodness) but when the occasion calls for it I usually reach for my Heartfelt Thanks Stampin' Up set. I used Patty's card you can see here, as inspiration. Thanks for the help Patty!
