Yahoo and a card for Dad

Wow, I checked my blog today and I have comments on cards! I was so excited, I'm practically giddy. My blog is very new and never have I had anyone look at it until now. You PTI gals ROCK! Thanks for the kind words and inspiration.
I was a total spud over the weekend and did very little. My baby girl was sick all last week and this weekend the DH finally came down with it as well so I didn't get much time for crafting. Here is a card I made to thank a co-worker for her kindness. It's really simple but I was having a good time playing with my Guidelines set. I haven't even begun to explore all of the possibilities of that set. It's been way too neglected.

Supplies: Stamps: Borders and Corners Rectangles; Guidelines, Simple Little Things. Cardstock: White, Soft Sky, Groovy Guava. Ink: Blue Bayou, Soft Sky. Accessories: Cuttlebug, scallop paper trimmer, ticket corner punch, dew drops, ribbon.

Here is a card I made for my Dad's birthday. The sentiment is from PTI but the tree is from Stampin' Up's Lovely as a Tree set. That set is really versatile. The tree was stamped on Fabriano cardstock in Palette Noir. I added color using ink and a water brush and also some sponging. I didn't keep good track of the ink colors used on this one. Sorry!

Supplies: Stamps: PTI, Stampin Up, Art Impressions. Cardstock: Ivory, Really Rust, Kraft, Black, Fabriano paper. Accessories: cuttlebug, ribbon, hardware

Thanks again ladies for checking out my blog. You made my day! :)
