Father's Day Cards

Ok, so it has been a long time since I posted and I am really sorry for that. I got a new camera and am trying to figure out all of this stuff. Well, here it goes! I made a Father's Day card for my Dad and my hubby (from our precious canine) as my Mom had my boys and they made theirs at their Grandparent's house. I came across this neat digi paper for Father's Day and decided I just had to use it for my Dad's card! Sorry, can't remember where I got it from but it is a wonderful download. I printed it on photo paper so I could get a better print. I have to tell you I found these banner stamps at Archivers and they are just great except it is very tedious to cut all these out free hand. Needless to say my Dad liked his card as he was reading all the words from the paper.

Now, for my hubby's card, I used a recent picture of our family princess, our precious Abigail/Abby! She couldn't rest until I finished this card for her as she just adores her Dad! Needless to say it was a hit and my Hubby loved it!

Thanks for stopping by! I really enjoy your comments and I promise to post more tomorrow! I made a birthday card for my FIL as his birthday is July 1st!

Off Topic-Met Tim Tebow

Today was a beautiful day outside and I was fortunate to spend it with my fellow employees in the Jockey International Park to meet with our new spokesman Tim Tebow. This young man really has his act together and is a wonderful humanitarian. His foundation is helping our orphaned kids down in the Phillipeans by supplying them with items that they need. His foundation has already started to build a hospital down there for them.

When asked the question: "If you could meet anyone in the world and who would it be?" He answered, "Jesus, of course! Doesn't everyone?" His second choice is Abraham Lincoln, since he was a man of integrity and honesty. I would just love to pick his brain." I just have to say that we could not have picked a better person to represent our company! Below are a few picture and I am in the pink shirt standing next to him.

Jockey is so passiate about helping the adoptive children here in the US. We currently are working with a few groups with Post Adoption Services. Employees, volunteers, girl scouts are even helping out with making no sew fleece blankets for the kid's back packs. I am an Embassador on the Jockey Being Family Team and it really touches my heart for all the things a child has to go through before being adopted. These children are fighters but mostly the are just looking for a forever family.

I would like to start up a group of people to start making cards for these family to embrace their forever family and remember just how important it is to this child to make things works. Thanks for letting me rave, Enjoy the pictures!

Bird Bookmark

Okay, another posting and was excited when Paulo posted an SVG on his blog this morning! I could not wait to get home and make this bird bookmarker! To get his cut file please go to his site here. He has amazing files! I could stay on his blog all day! Thanks Paulo, glad that you are back posting! Thanks for dropping by and I hope you have a great day!

Finished the Mini Book!

Okay, for those who have been followers for a while know that I started this mini book back in January. I won this at my first blog hop from Kris at What a Bunch of Craft and have also added some of Celeste's (Touched by a Butterfly) wonderful flowers! I just love how this turned out and had a hard time parting with it as I gave it to my Mom for Mother's Day and she just loves it! Please leave me some comments as I would love to hear how you like it or not.

Mother's Day Card

Wow, two posts in one day! Sorry about not posting lately but things are kind of hectic lately! I am now all caught up with all my blogs and email that I finally have time to post my Mother's day card that I made for my Mom. I got these beautiful "MOM" stickers from a blog win and shopping with Ann at Paper Patch Crafts. She added this to my selection and it was perfect for the paper that I had!

I forgot to put a picture of the inside but there is a poem that I was just right to describe my relationship with my Mom. Here it is:

When I was young, you helped me grow,

And taught me all I had to know

Of love and trust and faith and hope,

And everything it takes to cope.

You may have thought I didn't hear,

Or maybe that you weren't quite clear;

But all the tings you taught me

Were heeded very carefully,

And now I want to thank you for

Your love, your care, and so much more!

Love you Mom and thanks for being there!



Congrats on Your New House Card

Well my husband went to San Diego for four days to his cousin's house warming party and even asked me to make a card.  After a long search I used svgcuts.com and found this house to cut with SCAL.  I really like how it turned out but wish I would have found some bushes or something to add to the front like some mini flowers or something.  Inside I used my Kaisercraft stamp for the flourishes which I won from a hop shopping at Paper Patch Crafts.  Can I just say that shopping with Ann was such a great pleasure!  My next post is some of the extras that she added to my stash.  Thanks for dropping by and have a great day!
