Waterfront On Father’s Day!
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! A Little History. . . According to Wikipedia, Father’s Day was first celebrated in a Fairmount, West Virginia church on July 5, 1908 to honor the many men who died in the Monogah Mining Accident in 1907 which left many children fatherless. It was Grace Golden Clayton’s suggestion to her minister that these fathers should be …
Father’s Day By the Dock & Mystery Stamping Challenge
Today I’m continuing with my posts featuring cards for Father’s Day or masculine cards for any occasion you like. The stamp I used on this card is called By the Dock and uses the Dockside coordinating dies. I used only part of the dock so it would work with my card layout. The bottom part of the card was stamped and die cut twice, then …
Sailing Home
Sailing Home is a great stamp for the nautical enthusiast. It has some great images including a lighthouse which caught my attention right away. Because I love lighthouses and visiting them, I knew it was a must have for me. The Sailing Home set, just like A Good Man from yesterday’s post, is also a carry over from last year’s catalog. It coordinates with the …

Yes, another Father’s Day card…just think masculine card ideas. I was up very late Saturday night trying to make my Father’s Day cards but ran out of time to make all the ones I wanted to make for the special men in my life. I had to keep it simple, if I wanted to make any at all. The Lovely As A Tree set is great for …

By the Tide Father’s Day
Since Father’s Day is approaching, I thought I would share a quick and easy card. I used the shells from the By the Tide stamp set as my focal point popped with Dimensionals on the Lost Lagoon card stock. This color is becoming one of my favorites from the new In Colors. I’ll be posting the card I’m giving my husband on Sunday so make sure …

The Traveler stamp set is a great masculine set and is a perfect set to use for scrapbooking vacation pages.

I stamped the trees from Lovely as a Tree stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink onto Very Vanilla card stock and then …

WOW – You’re the Best!
On June 12, 1880 a perfect baseball game was pitched by Lee Richmond. Do you realize how rare a perfect game is?! You don’t get to see too many of those games!! In addition to the pitcher being superb, he must also have fantastic defense–it’s a team effort! I love baseball–whether it’s watching it on tv, going to the stadium to watch the Yankees (it helps to have a …
