Happy Father’s Day

Hello.  🙂  It’s another one of those bittersweet days for me.   Although I can’t share the day with my own dad, I can revisit some of the very best of memories.  I can call my father-in-law on the phone, I can call my mom’s SO sweet husband, and I can share the day with my children and their dad.  I’m so very fortunate to have (and to have had) such fabulous fathers in my life.  🙂

Here’s the card my kids will give to my husband.  (Bonus points for using Illini colors!  Hee, hee.)

Best Dad Ever

As I mentioned before, I struggle a bit (ok…a lot) with non-images when stamping.  So this card was hugely influenced by my friend, Jody.  (She rocks everything.)

To create my ribbon, I used My Favorite Things’ new First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics and stamp set combo.  I also used a lot of Jody’s foam boosters

On the inside, I stamped a star and #1 from the set.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’ll be back tomorrow with the first of this month’s new à la modes! 

Hug your daddy, if you can!
