Happy Father's Day -- already???

Yes, I have a Father's Day card for you today.  Father's Day may be still a month away, but it's never too early to get started!!!   

This card would be suitable for either my husband or my dad as they have both spent many hours wearing a tool belt (and using the tools!), but it will probably be for my dad.  He can fix anything!!   I am so thankful for my husband who is able to do so many things, as well!!

This image is from Doodle Pantry.  It is the colored version from Handy Ants.  The sentiment is from Handy Birdie. Aren't these both just the cutest??

Supplies...
~square card
~Cricut black cardstock
~Slice metallic silver paper
~Darice "Plaid" embossing folder

Love hearts and a bear

Here's a Valentine that will probably be for one of my kids.  When they were little they would give Valentine's to just a few friends (we home school so they never had classmates to give to), but Valentine's Day has never been a huge deal for us.  Sometimes I get some roses! :)
Since I started making cards, I have to make Valentine cards for challenges, so my kids now get a card!! :)  I imagine this one will go to one of the girls rather than my son!!

The better half's birthday

Tomorrow, my wonderful husband gets one year older!  Actually, he will only be one day older than he is today, but tomorrow is that official change-of-age day!  He'll be 46.  Yep, he's a year younger than I am, and he loves to remind me of it, too! 

We took him out for dinner this evening since our daughter has to work tomorrow.  We are saving his "birthday cake" for tomorrow... but it's not a cake!   My family doesn't usually ask for the normal birthday cake.  It might be Turtle or Oreo cheesecake or homemade cinnamon rolls or French Silk Pie!!!  My hubby loves coconut so he is getting a Coconut Cream Pie! 

Here's his card...

It says "You're mine... hook, line and sinker!"  I obviously pressed the stamp too much!  Hard to tell when stamping with Versamark. :/  The front is 'fun' but the inside is more romantic!
