Dad You're the Best



I hope that you all have your father's day cards made, but in case you don't here is another one to inspire you. It was made using the Out of Character and The First Few Years cartridges. This one is super quick to throw together!


Masculine cards are a real challenge for me, but hopefully you guys can pull some inspiration from what you have seen this week!














To win:





Get the Stamp of the Month set for just $5 (S1406A) when you place an order of
 $50

I love you to the moon and back card



Today I have a card that I made with the Locker Talk (globe), The First Few Years (moon and stars), and the Boys Will Be Boys (arrows) cartridges. I know that seems like a lot, but once I got going with a theme I could not be stopped! About half way through this card, I was a little worried that it was not going to come together. However, it ended up working out and I love it!

Don't forget that every order over $50 gets a free stamp set from me! Not to mention, you will qualify for the stamp of the month (featured in today's card) and the Free To Be Me paper pack (also featured in today's card). Simply place your order and then email me your choice of stamp set.

Growing Up layout made using The First Few years cartridge.

Hello, friends!

I noticed a comment a few weeks ago from a follower asking if The First Few Years cartridge could be used for older boys. Well, I thought "challenge accepted"! Below is the single page layout that I put together. Now, this cartridge has a blueprint of sorts to help you know how to put the layouts together. However, I am not one for following instructions. It stifles my creativity *wink*! Instead, I customized this layout to meet my needs. 

There have also been questions asking if this cartridge is designed to make double layouts. Unfortunately, it is not designed to do that job specifically. I suppose you could go rogue and with a little bit of creativity come up with something. This cartridge's strengths are really simple single layouts which is great if you are having to make a quick album for the kids.
