Father's Day Tie Card

No, I was not this late in mailing this one.  It actually got to him (my father-in-law) on time.  It just took me this long to post it. I always look forward to summer but the my schedule or should I say my children's schedule is just as busy if not more so I look forward to school starting so we can get back to normal, or as normal as this household gets. lol  To do the sentiment I punched the Modern Label Punch in half and layered it behind the sentiment with the oval behind that.  I popped them up with dimensionals.  The Tie I free cut (and it took me a few to get what I wanted).  It is hard to see but it is layered on a Baja Breeze card base.

Father's Day Tri-Shutter Card

This one was made right before the retiring list came out.  The Cogs punch was a punch I just "had" to have.  This was the first time (and last) that I used it. I had to use the eagle on this card since my father has collected eagles for many years.  He loved it.

Just a Plane Birthday

I am sorry that I have not posted in so long.  I had quite a few blogs to design for customers and they have kept me nice an busy. Since we were snowed in yesterday (we could not make it out of the driveway not to mention the 20 mile drive to church) I took some of my day to work on a couple of cards that I am behind on mailing out...nothing new lately.

This is a set that I just could not go without from the Occasions Mini and the poor thing has just sitting there waiting to be put to work.  I knew that I wanted to use a Designer paper in the background and once I figured out which one the card just fell into place.  Yes, every edge is sponged to give it more f a vintage look, which I think goes great with this set.  It is hard to see in the picture but I did run the card stock through with Big Shot with the harlequin texture plate.   I never put the front on the card until I make sure it is finished that way if I add brads, ribbon or eyelets they are not poking in the inside of the card.
