Other Father's Day cards

Hello! Yes, sorry, I know.  Father's Day has come and gone, but I wanted to post a couple of more cards that I made for that special man in my life. 

I used Country Life for this card.  I cut the image found on page 33 at 5 inches. My husband gardens and does a a lot of yard work since we have over three acres of land, but he does not necessarily like it all that much. That is why I made the grumpy face on the farmer.  He got a big kick out of it! I used Recollections cardstock, K & Company Greenhouse pattern paper, brads and Peachy Keen stamps.

This other card was for my daughter to give to my dad (her Pop-Pop).  He LOVES to fish, and they are the best of buddies.  He is like a dad to her.  She is almost 19, and they are extremely close and always have been.  I used Life's A Beach and cut the fish on page 50.  I used Recollections card stock, DCWV Latte cardstock (I love this stack - I am getting lots of good use out of it!), AC card stock, Fiskars punch, googly eyes and Aqua Stickles. 

Thanks so much for visiting me!! :)

My Snoopie girl!

This has been a very sad couple of weeks here as my 11 year old beagle lost her fight to cancer on Monday, May 23rd.  She was such a sweetie, and if you had met her, you would have fallen in love with her.  This is dedicated to one of my best friends!! Snoopie Lovey  April 17, 2000 - May 23, 2011.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #75

This week's challenge is to make a masculine birthday card using something with wheels using any cartridge or colors.  I used Every Day Paper Dolls cartridge.

I used DCWV Latte stack, Recollections cardstock and Three Birds stamp. Thanks for visiting me! :)

1. I own a Cricut Expression only.

3. I would LOVE to have an Imagine next.
4. I am still Gypsy "challenged."
5. I want almost all of the Cricut cartridges out there. :)  Thanks for visiting me! :)
