It is always on fathers day weekend & when his dad was alive he would watch with him every year & now watches with our son & even the girls (pretend) to watch & be excited about it....just for him :)

Hearts in the Tea Room

Happy Friday!!! It is going to hot hot hot this weekend here is sunny Arizona, 110 degrees! YIKES!! Beautiful in the early morning though...I went for a bike ride this morning for about an hour...just gorgeous!
I made this card a couple of days ago & have been contemplating posting it. This is my first time making a card for the shabby tea room & it is a bit intimidating...you see I love the look of all the vintage/shabby chic stuff but not really sure how to achieve the look I love so much!! The challenge this week is to create a card or project using hearts. Sounds easy enough right?? Not so much lol!!!

this is my card:

Needs something....any suggestions??? The hearts I cut with a little cuttlebug die & glittered with MS glitter, the pretty paper is Melissa Francis...I added touches of MS glitter here & there. CS is PTI. The little roses are from my local SC store...also glittered. The sentiment is PTI.

Also used: EK success border punch, cuttlebug embossing folder & ric rac from my shash.
That's it for this one & now on to the next project!! oh sooooo much paper & so little time!!! LOL!!

have a fantastic weekend!!! see ya around!!!

JURY DUITY DAY :P

Greetings fellow bloggers! I am waiting to go to Jury duty this AM so I have a little time to post a card I made this weekend. My card is for 2 different Challenges. 1) OCC challenged us
 to make a card using texture & only black & white. 2)  Just Us Girls challenged us to make a card using dry embossing.

So much texture & dimensional goodness!! For my Dry embossing I used my old standby cuttlebug swiss dots. all paper & DP is PTI. I used Marvy mega flower punch (doctored up a bit) for my flower. Just free hand cut the leaves & used SU scallop punch (doctored  that a bit too) for the bottom layers. I love how fun & easy this was to make!! Here is a different view.

That's it for this one....better get ready to go!! Thanks for todays visit!!
