Thought this would make a cute

Which is what I did with this card.

to make it resemble a rock.

PROUD TO DESIGN FOR

I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I HAVE BEEN CHOSEN TO DESIGN FOR SQUIGGLEFLY!! IT WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIRST DIGI STORES THAT I STARTED FOLLOWING. THEY HAVE A HUGE VARIETY SHOWCASING MANY DIFFERENT ARTISTS. I PAPER PIECED THIS IMAGE. SO SWEET, ISN'T IT? MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY IS COMING UP AND THIS WOULD BE PERFECT. JUST ADD A LITTLE "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" IMAGE ABOVE THE IMAGE.

SQUIGGLEFLY NOW HAS A SPOT OVER AT PAPER CRAFT PLANET -- HERE. IF YOU'RE NOT A MEMBER YET, IT'S COMPLETELY FREE AND IS A GREAT WAY TO KEEP UP TO DATE WITH ALL YOUR FAVORITE STAMP COMPANIES AND CHALLENGE SITES.

JUST DROP THEM A LINE EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPENED AND THEY WILL RESEND THE IMAGE(S) TO YOU. HOW GREAT IS THAT??

GOLF STAR

THIS IS THE FREEBIE OFFERED OVER AT KENNY K. THIS IMAGE MADE ME GIGGLE. MY SON (HE'S 9) JUST STARTED GOLF THIS YEAR AND AFTER THE FIRST DAY HE FELT A LITTLE INTIMIDATED. HE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH, IF ANYTHING ABOUT THE GAME. AFTER A MINI GOLF GAME ON FATER'S DAY AND A LITTLE INSTRUCTION HE WAS READY TO HIT IT HARD. THIS IMAGE SCREAMS CONFIDENCE TO ME.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY - Super Dad

OK, I HAD TO THROW ONE LAST FATHER'S DAY CARD IN HERE. THIS IS ANOTHER ONE FROM BUGABOO. I'M SO BLESSED TO HAVE THE BEST DAD IN THE WORLD. I COULDN'T ASK TO BE MARRIED TO A BETTER FATHER EITHER. WE WENT OUT FOR LUNCH AND THEN WENT MINI GOLFING TODAY AFTER STOPPING BY TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH MY DAD. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL SUMMER DAY. HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

Daddy's girl

Tiddly Inks has some adorable images. I saw this one and fell in love. How adorable!! If this doesn't SCREAM "Happy Father's Day" I don't know what does!! I paper pieced the shirt and tie with coordinating papers. Then added more of the tie patterned paper on the card itself and added the circles in coordinating colors to tie it together. The little metal title says "Dad" on the ribbon on the top of the card. I added the feather to pull out the feather in the had in the image.

LIVE THE DREAM

MADE THIS ONE FOR MY FRIEND'S HUSBAND AFTER HE HAD KNEE SURGERY. BASICALLY TELLING HIM TO RELAX AND ENJOY THE LOUNGING. THE DIGITAL IMAGE IS FROM THE DIGI SHACK. THE PAPER WAS ONE OF THOSE 12 X 12 SHEETS THAT COMES WITH 4 DIFFERENT PATTERNS.....LOVE THOSE!! MAKES CARD MAKING SOOOO EASY. ALL THE COORDINATING IS DONE FOR YOU.

Masculine

I needed a "farewell" card for one of the guys at work. I'd seen metal embossed before and wanted to give it a try. I used my cuttlebug. The brads on the four corners look like screws. I sanded the background paper with sandpaper for a rugged look.
