With the school year over, it is time to kick it into crafty high gear. Kidding, but I love that I have a bit of extra time during the day to craft while school is out, otherwise it usually has to take place between 9-10pm. I don't know about you, but this isn't really my best time to think. So...with it being my first official day off for the summer, I decided to whip up some cards.
This upcoming weekend is going to be a busy one. My baby turns 2 on Thursday. I can hardly believe that time has gone by so quickly already. My mom's birthday is on Friday. We are having a birthday party for Owen on Saturday and Sunday is Father's Day. Way to pack it all in one weekend, eh?
Let's go backwards. Today, I decided to spend some time making Father's Day cards for the grandfathers/fathers in our lives.
I used a couple challenges and a new Stampin' Up set: Work of Art to make a simple and clean Father's Day card.
First, the inspiration:
Pals Paper Arts Challenge #206 provided the colors
Fusion gave us the card layout
and Cas-ual Fridays Challenge #132 set the manly card parameters.
Walla...a card fit for a father!
I used Papertrey's Signature Greetings by Dawn McVey for the sentiment, some thick twine, and a big shiny button. I'm glad to make a card for two great fathers. We are lucky to have them as grandfathers to Owen and fathers to us.
I love that you fit a card into your busy weekend! Thanks for playing with us at PPA--come back soon!
