Happy Father's Day

Okay, so I'm a little slow getting a Father's Day card on here but it's not Father's Day yet! lol The past several weeks, who am I kidding, months, had been extremely busy for me. Just as I thought things might slow down a bit, my vegetable garden started producing! And that means canning! So far I've put up 28 pints & 10 quarts of butternut squash, 12 pints of zucchinni, 16 pints of carrots, 24 pints of corn and the tomatoes are just now starting to ripen! I hope I can get all of this done before July 8 when they are supposed to start remodeling my kitchen. I'll have pictures for you when I get to that. Now that will be something to scrapbook.

So here is my Father's Day card for my sweet husband who has been the best father that I've ever known!

Positive and Negative

Here are two cards that I used the same paper for. On the top one I used the positive of the punch and the bottom one, I did the same thing, just used the negative of the punch. Makes paper go farther and cuts down on the time involved.

I love that SU! has come out with an air dry clay in the 2013 catalog! I love playing with clay. To make this simple arrow, all I did was rub it on top of my Burmuda Bay ink pad to pick up a bit of the colore. Then I work it in until it was the shade I wanted. I rolled our a snake, flattened it and then used a craft knife to cut on both ends. I used my pointed paper piercing tool to write the name on the arrow. Easy Breesy! I use attached it with a bit of double sided tape or adhesive.

To add some color to the inside, after I stamped my greeting, I just put a strip of Washi Tape across the bottom. The greeting, stamped with Bermuda Bay ink, was from a retired set.

Happy Graduation

Here is the graduation card that I made for my granddaughter. I used her school colors. I don't know why they have 3 colors these days. When I graduated from the same school in 1965, the colors were just blue and white. Some where along the way they added red to it.
