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 : )
Paper: CTMH Notebook

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!
Paper: CTMH Silhoutte
"Dad" Verve stamps, embossed with black Stampin Up embossing powder

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).

Sympathy Lillies


This is a sympathy card I made for my best friend and her family. Her Grandpa died last week and his funeral was Tuesday. We have both moved away so we don't see each other much anymore. I wanted to make a card to let her know I am thinking about her. Her grandpa was a wonderful man, and I pray this card brings her comfort! I used Taylored Expressions Sketch #112.

Caiti's Graduation


Here's my 2nd graduation card that I made today. It isn't nearly as bright as it looks in the picture thankfully! I used Amy R's Friday Sketch 9. I love her sketches, now if only my cards and pics were as good as hers : ) I added Glimmer Mist to the embossed circle in the background which doesn't show in the pic. The Congratulations is wavy on the card. I got the idea from this card by Jen del Muro, another great blog to follow! This is my second submission for the Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge 12.
Scripture: ODBD
Sentiment is a digital stamp from Sweet n Sassy stamps I think!
