In the meantime, I figured I'd share a few cards I've made in the past few weeks. I used this set of cards as thank you notes for the kids' teachers (along with their gifts). I do love the Hero Arts Four Apples set! All the backgrounds are Hero Arts stamped in Poppy Chalk Ink on Sunshine folded note cards. The sentiment is also Hero Arts from the Sending Smiles Message set.
I made this little monster card for a birthday party my six-year-old son went to the other day...I love the monsters in this Michael's Recollections My Little Monsters set, and the eyes are the perfect size for plastic google eyes. Cute! I also used some favorite Hero Arts stamps including the Friend Definition and Dots and Flowers as well as some ribbon and a Fiskars border punch.
Finally, in honor of Father's Day this year I want to share a few Father's Day pictures, both past and present. This is my father's Army picture, followed by a picture of him with me and my four siblings on Easter Sunday, about a month before he passed away in 1976. (I'm in the white dress up front). What can I say, my dad was a wonderful man.
Then there is the other wonderful man in my life, my best friend and high school sweetheart... my husband! Here he is fooling around with the kids before the annual "Father's Day" posed picture. I think he and my dad would have gotten along swimmingly...so sorry they never got to meet.
(Yay, Summer!!)
