Shopping..Again

I needed to get white 12" x 12" paper, and I did (not pictured here), but I couldn't help myself when it came to these stamps. I saw some others that I really liked, but refrained from buying them. For now! I also needed grey ink, and bought a pink as well.

These are great for Project Life, or simply scrapbooking. Could also work for something wedding related, like a program or "the story of us".

These vintage postal looking stamps will be perfect for Valentine's Day cards and any Valentine's mail that I send to penpals!

I needed more Father's Day stamps, and found these. They're perfect for next years Father's Day cards!

Here's a close up of the inks I bought so you could see the names and numbers!

There you have it! My shopping haul from yesterday. After the weekend, I'll hopefully be able to share my DIY address book, made using an old Filofax type planner, and some scrapbook paper!

Have a good one!

Happy Father's Day

After deciding that I wouldn't be posting anything on the blog on the weekends, here are some Father's Day cards I made over the weekend. If you have any questions about anything I used, please don't hesitate to ask.

Happy (belated) Father's Day to all you Father's out there! These cards are for you!
I spent my afternoon trying to come up with something Father related to post for all of you, and I thought why not post a couple cards?

I'm a little unsure about the one on the right being so plain, but Jon loves them (of course) so I think I'll just leave them as they are. I also included individual photos and close ups for all of you.

Don't mind the mess that is my desk behind it, but here's the first one. It opens on the right hand side.  

Here's a close up of the two buttons, I layered on top of each other and tied with twine.

 Here's a close up of the Happy Father's Day banner in the bottom right corner.

Here's a close up of the paper I used on both cards.

On this card I stamped the circles on it to go with the buttons and jazz it up a bit.

Here's the second one. I used the same Happy Father's Day stamp and twine.  

The stars are from close to my heart, and I think I might need to start buying more things from them!

These are great! I also have a bunch of other cut outs from them.

Here's a close up of the bottom of the card. It opens at the bottom.

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and Father's Day!
