I made this card for my favorite Sunday challenge of Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge 43, which was to make a Father's Day card. My layout is loosely based on Card Positioning Systems 171, Part 1. I wanted to go very clean and simple on this card because let's face it, guys aren't really into bling, flowers, lace, and all of those beautiful embellishments that we like. I think this turned out on the masculine side quite nicely. Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! Sage Shadow does not photograph well, which I used on the top of my card. Even though this color is retiring, it's one I'm holding onto for now. I'll have a couple more Father's Day cards for you to look at tomorrow!
God bless!

This is a card that I made for Card Positioning Systems Sketch Challenge 170. The numbering in parts always confuses me, so I'm going to have to ask about that. It's like the same sketch 4 times. I found these cute Lawn Fawn stamps and I think it's a relatively new company, but what they've done so far is very nice. The stamps leave a good impression and are high quality. I've been wanting to ink up this set and decided to on Saturday. If all goes well as scheduled, this will show up on Sunday morning at 10 a.m.
When I get home from church, it will be time for the pool, general chores, and to play in the Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge. I hope that you have a very blessed and restful day. Today's Treasure: Isaiah 41:10. I know I've mentioned this verse several times but it hits me like a ton of bricks every time that I read it because it's so very reassuring and I've needed a lot of that lately.
Please let me know what you think and if you enjoy my blog, share this with your friends. I'm going to limit myself on where I put my work up due to time constraints and some personal decisions that I'm making. Thank you for stopping by today.
