Father's Day Fun

Hi and Happy Father's day to all out there.

I am lucky enough in my life to have "3 Father's" - my Dad, my FIL and of course, my DH is father to my kids. No as usual...I was late on starting out with the idea for the cards and then flicked through a folder I have on "Life Definitions". I found this and the cogs started turning.

After some procrastinations and ruminations, this is what I came up with...

As you can see I put a couple of my own touches on it, that being stamping "dad" underneath the "gratitude" and of course adding the sentiment. Here's what the 'dad' looked like...

and of course the obligatory close up of the card.....

My Miss 7 also made a cracker of a card for her dad, and I will share a picture of that later on with you. I sincerely hope all the Father's/Dad's and Blokes in general out there have a fantastic day. Thanks for dropping by.

Just a Little Late!!!

This is what I gave the Dad's for Father's Day this year. It was all inspired by this card that I found on EnchantINK. She has used an old White Pages phone book for the background paper....how cool!!!!

This is my version.

Now you are not seeing double. I actually did 2 different versions. On the 2nd card...I sponged the edges of the tags and sentiments,,,the effect being a tad more vintage.

This is unsponged...

This is sponged....

I also put the strip with the sentiment on it through the crimper...again, just to bloke it up a bit. Sadly this is not really reflected in any of the pics I took!!!!

The old vintage dictionary paper was a bargain find at Alice's. Only 50 cents a sheet (12 x 12)...so I did my crafting patriotic right and stocked up!!! Sorry it took so long to post these, but it is a case of better late than never!!!
