Lighthouse Birthday Card

Lighthouse Birthday Card

I felt nautical this morning, maybe because of the nice tribute Debra did to me on facebook. She purchased a nautical card for her dad father's day and she posted a picture of him holding it with the most beautiful smile....

I love to see the effect my cards have on people...

So here is my new card... still using the Cricut Life's a Beach cartridge, a lighthouse this time and some flying seagulls...

The sentiment is made with a die cut on grey card stock.

Father's Day Submarine

Father's Day Submarine

For the lucky ladies who have a ex-subamriner as the dad of their children...

And when I say lucky, I am thinking of the way those husbands are good at making their bed, boot camp style. My, I have to say it doesn't compare... 

How about the way they pack suitcases? I would never had known that rolling t-shirts save room and allow them to arrive wrinkle free.

And for those deserving husbands, I thought of making a father's day card they not only would appreciate but that will bring back those fond memories of service. Because you do know that those happy memories are the only ones left when they think of those 6 wonderful years...

I adapted a card I made last year for mine, post 304, "Father's Day Card for a Diver:

Here is this year's card, pretty much the same...

the blue card stock is run through my cuttlebug in a Provocraft bubble embossing folder, I tore some vellum, and added two clouds punched with my Fiskars favorite punches.

The submarine is made with my cricut, "Life's a Beach" cartridge and I added some white behind the windows... oops, I am in trouble, don't let my husband know I am calling those "windows"... Crime de Lese Majeste, as we French say....

Until next time!

Father's Day

Father's Day...

Through a porthole... Those two cards are another version of the card #300, the hardest part being wrapping the "porthole" part.

Two peaceful scene for a relaxed father's day...

I used the cricut "Life's a Beach" cartridge for the chair and the sailboat, and used scrap of papers for the background. The cloud is punched with my all time favorite tool, the fiskars clloud punch.

Until next time...
