Father's Day at Sea



Hooray!  We made it through another week and are on to the weekend!  Today is my older boys last day of school...they are so excited for summer break.   Even more so because one week from day we will be hitting the road for a little vacation to the beach.  We'll be there over Father's Day, so this weeks Friday Mashup gave me the chance to make the perfect Father's Day card.

This weeks challenge is to make a Father's Day card and mash it up by using Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Island Indigo.

I wasn't sure that I could make these colors work together, but once I started stamping with The Open Sea, it all came together!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Island Indigo, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla, Typset DSP

Ink ~ Cajun Craze, Island Indigo, Garden Green

Stamp Sets ~ The Open Sea, Choose Happiness, World Map

Other Supplies ~ Banner Framelits, Chevron Ribbon, Linen Thread, Label Bracket Punch

Happy Stamping!

World Traveler

Hello friends and happy Sunday!  I hope you have all had a great weekend so far...I know I have!  We had a day FILLED with baseball yesterday...awesome game for my twins in the afternoon and an even better Battle of the Badges (fire vs police) game last night.  I'm happy to report Fire kicked some Police booty and took home the trophy :-)  Be sure to check back later this week for a new MDS page dedicated to the big game!

Today I'm sharing a card that makes me want to pack my bags and travel the world.  Life is short...make it an adventure!  I can home school my kids while we travel, right?!? 

I used some of the yummy new In-Colors for this card...I love the richness of them!  And the new Stitched Satin Ribbon is b-e-a-u-tiful!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Mossy Meadow, Lost Lagoon, Baked Brown Sugar, Whisper White

Ink ~ Jet Black StazOn, Hello Honey, Lost Lagoon, Mossy Meadow

Stamps ~ World Map, Traveler, Starburst Sayings

I recruited a little help from my hubby in tying the sailors knot...he's the king of knots at the fire station!  His skills made my world a better place :-)

 

Don't forget, tomorrow the NEW catalog goes live and you can order these yummy new In-Color products and EVERYTHING else on your wish list!!!

 

Happy Stamping!
