Heartfelt Thanks

Yay for Humpday!

As mentioned before, I love Wednesdays.  Not more than Friday or Saturday, but it is the turning point in my week, and means I only have to go back for two more days that week, instead of four more. lol 

I've got another card to share today.  One that I think is adorable.

I love this stamp, but this is the first time I've used it.  I actually have quite a few stamps that I own, but have never seen ink.  I am thinking I need to change that and start using them.  I've also decided to pull out a few items I've purchased, but haven't used yet either, and combine them into my cards from now on.  I've got tons of stuff that I just absolutely HAD to have, that I have yet to use.  Damn impulsive buying, I tell ya! lol  I've combined the following challenges into my card, although a couple may already be closed. 

Embellish Magazine Color Trends Challenge 9/2 - Blue, kraft, brown, and red, include stripes
Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #72 - Use a punch (the brown heart with the butterfly is a punch)
Stamp, Scrap & Doodle 9/10 - Thank You
Delightful Challenges 9/7 - Bling It
Cardabilities #38 - Sketch

Anyway, I'm off to work again.  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow for the next FYI challenge.  Don't forget, you can still play along with the first challenge of the month HERE.

Hugs!

My Hero

Hi ya'll!

How is your weekend going so far?  Mine is going to be fantastic!  I'm just waiting for a few of my co-workers to arrive and then it's time for pool party and bbq in the backyard.  I LOVE having a pool.  So relaxing after a stressful day at work, and always fun when having friends over.  *happy sigh*

So, my stupid internal alarm clock had me up at 6am today, bleh.  I couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to start working on some Father's Day cards for work.  Here is the first one I created.

I love how this turned out.  If you've followed my blog long, you know I struggle with masculine cards. lol  I just got these star dies from MFT and had to play with them already.  I cut them out of old book paper and glimmer misted them.  They're really cool in real life.  I'm surprised at how well my card matches the idea I had in my head.  I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

Crazy4Challenges #91 - Father's Day

Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #59 - Father's Day

Sketchbook Saturday #15 - Sketch (my loose interpretation)

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle - Father's Day

Stamp Something - Something Punched (I used dies)

Delightful Challenges - Father's Day

Stampin Royalty #75 - Celebrate Dad

Don't forget you still have time to participate in FYI Challenge #7.  There's a cute prize and the photo is amazing.  You can find all of the details HERE.

I hope you have a great day!  I'll be thinking of ya'll while enjoying my margarita, poolside. :D

Hugs!
