Happy Father's Day!

Hey, everyone!

I'd like to wish all the dads out there a very happy Father's day! If you have the opportunity, be sure to hug your dad and tell him how special he is and that you love him!! I shared a scripture with you already this month but it doesn't hurt to repeat it:
1 John 3:1
Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we might be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew Him not.

Today I am sharing a project with you that I made for my father-in-law. The card is 4x4 (finished size) and all the items were found in my scrapbooking stash (racing theme).

Paul and Javan baked these chocolate chip cookies today for him. Don't they look yummy? I ate THREE of them! Oh my!!!
What better to hold them in than a cookie box that looks like a tool box! You can see the tutorial for this box HERE. You can see another cookie box I have made before by clicking HERE. There is a tool box and card gift set on SCS made by Katie Renz that inspired me.

Tomorrow I will show you what I have made my dad, then Tuesday is StampTACular Tuesday Challenge, followed by the Scripture Challenge on Wednesday. If you haven't placed your order yet, remember you only have until June 26! The new catalogs will be here very soon and I have a special event planned! I'll post details soon!

Hugs,

StampTACular Tuesday Challenge Father's Day Keepsake

Hey, everyone!

Happy StampTACular Tuesday! It's time for Christina and I to challenge you once again to make a really fun project! With Father's Day just ahead we wanted to make a project just for DAD! We decided to use a tutorial found at RANDOM ON PURPOSE. I did not follow the directions completely but I like how it turned out! I wanted to make a little book for my husband that my children can give to him for Father's Day. It's such a sweet size and by making it a little book, he can keep it on his night stand or tuck it in his pocket!


Even though the book is small, there are several pages inside. It can hold small photos, little quotes, drawings from the kids, and even favorite memories they share with Dad.

I hope you will make one of these books, too. They are so much fun to create and take very little time. They make terrific gifts for anyone, on any occasion or no occasion at all.

To create my book I used a retired pack of paper from The Angel Company, but for a Father's Day gift you could always use the Just Like Dad paper collection. I love it!

The circle and scalloped circle punches are found in the current catalog. The white gel pen is a must-have and less than $2! It adds a nice effect with the doodle dots. The sentiment is from the Dear Friend stamp set found in Serendipity. The satin ribbon is something I have had in my stash. Let me know if you'd like to order any of these items and receive a punch on your Valued Customer Reward Card! Some of you have already started filling yours up!

Be sure you check out Christina's project. It's adorable! Leave us a comment if you make one of these projects. You will be entered into a drawing at the end of the month for a special prize given by me when you participate in this month's challenges! Tomorrow is another Scripture Challenge so be sure to check back to see the word of the week! Have a great one and I'll see you tomorrow!

Hugs,

Father's Day Angel Blog Hop

Hey, everyone!

It's time for another Angel Blog Hop! The theme is FATHER'S DAY! I decided to make a fun card for my husband that reflected my kids....so I grabbed some stamps and here is what I came up with:The purple designer paper is the retired Gentle Beginnings. I love that paper!!! The Butterfly Kisses is from the Kid Praises stamp set (now 25% off on the Retired List). I picked this stamp to reflect my daughter because she always gives her daddy butterfly kisses and her room is decorated in pink and purple. The dinosaur is from the same set (order it soon if this is on your wish list before it's too late to order it anymore). My son loves dinosaurs and I know Paul will like the dino. Javan loves green so I picked some green and yellow to make it more fun! I stamped the "for you" sentiment from the Dear Friend stamp set in our Serendipity Catalog. I love it! It's a great set!!! The "you are" sentiment is from the YOU ARE stamp set also found in Serendipity. Then I put "dad" at the top of the card. It's stamped with the Viridian Leaf and Iris Palette Hybrid ink pads. I used the Scriptybet stamp set for that. I doodled some images inside the letters for a fun effect since the kids are giving it to him. The cardstock is cut at 4¼"x11" and scored at 5½".
