I've had a little astronaut and one big planet on my crafting table the last three days. The good news is that this card's finally done, and the great news is that it's absolutely adorable. However, the bad news is that I can't post it yet since I made it for an upcoming challenge.
I do, however, have a Father's Day card to share... that is a direct result of today's Thankful Thursday events.
Thankful Thursday
Weekend before last, I headed northwest for a weekend visit with a dear, dear friend. That Saturday morning we went garage sale shopping. At one of our stops, we came across tons of wonderful stamps, mini inks, papers.... honestly, anything a card maker could want. Turns out it the owner's mom is a CTMH consultant who is changing
So, I picked up a handful of items... and took $33 out of my wallet.... asking for a total in case I needed to put anything back. While I was
The consultant used to make cards for a hospice ministry and totally understood my mission. As unbelievable as it sounds, my $33 bought: 30 mini pigment ink pads, stamping tools, embossing ink and powder, fringe scissors, a 40-card card-making kit, some 12 x 12 double-sided paper... and 17 CTMH stamp sets, including the stamp set used on the card shown at the right.
I can't even begin to thank Deb for her kindness and generosity.

Have a nice evening. Thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
Hi Sybrina! What fun you must have had at the garage sale and how blessed you must feel at her generousity. I know you'll put all those new supplies to great use like you did with this card. I think Blue and Brown are fantastic for guy cards and this one is wonderful! Hugs, Annie
ReplyDeleteHi Sybrina! Love the blue and brown color combo and your fabulously fun father's day card! Thanks for sharing it with us at Cards in Envy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card Sybrina! I love the papers and the color combo!
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Thank you for your comments on my blog. I don't have any fancy programs, I just use Microsoft Publisher to make my digital cards. You can use Word but I find Publisher a little easier. Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteScore! Great job. I just went through some of my stamps and was going to donate them. I've collected so, so, so, so many that it's time to part with a few. I miss the SAS4Kids team - when I'm done with school, I hope there is a spot for me to return someday. Hope you well - thanks for joining the Cards in Envy "Favorite Color Challenge. Take care my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe first word that came to mind? Jaunty! Love your card! thanks for joining us at CIE!
