Me and My house




This is the last Father's Day card that I have to show. That's all I've made lately, I haven't had much mojo to make anything else! This is the card I made for my dad. I used The Sweet Stop sketch 61. I loved this sketch! There was a twist to decorate the inside of the card as well. That was an easy one for me cuz I usually do, I just never photograph them. I forgot to take the picture until after I had already given it to him, so that's why the color is so off. I took the picture with my cell phone in my grandma's kitchen : )

Silhoutte Father's Day


This was my grandpa's father's day card. I loved this sketch, it's simple yet very cute. I used Unscripted Sketches #60. It had a twist to make your card black and white for National Eat an Oreo Day. My card is actually black and off white, but I like Golden Oreos the best so it works for me!

A Godly Father



This is the card my mom gave my dad for Father's Day. This verse is now one of my favorites and means a lot to my family. After my grandpa died in November I found out that it was his favorite verse. A couple days after his funeral I stumbled onto this stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs and had to have it. I made picture frames for my mom and myself with my grandpa's photo and this verse. It has been such a comfort to me. To me it describes my grandpa's life and personality perfectly. My mom lucked out, my dad also is a top notch guy and this verse is very fitting for him as well : ) I used Mojo Monday 143 for the sketch. I also used Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge 18, which was a great one. From the FLOWER recipe I have an ODBD stamp, oval, circle embellishments, ribbon, and stitching (I stitched on the ribbon although you can't really see it in the picture).
