Just to tell you a little about me! I live in Northern Alabama with my husband of 21 years. We have one wonderful son and 2 BEAUTIFUL grandbabies. My family is my world! I have been crafting since 2007. It all started when I bought my first Cricut (the baby bug)!
I was immediately HOOKED!!
Since then I've owned every machine Cricut has released and as many cartridges as I could possibly get my hands on hee hee! I love anything and everything that has to do with paper crafts! I started out with every intention just to scrapbook but now I find myself making more cards and 3D items!
As for my style, I create things that I hope will make people happy and smile! Crafting is my outlet and wished I could do it all day everyday but we all know how that is ~ family first! I hope you all enjoy this week as much as I know I will!
My first project I'd like to share with you today is a card I've made for my husband! Father's Day is just around the corner and this year I didn't want to wait till the last minute (like I normally do) to make his card!
I've used the solutions cartridge, Camp Out for the frame. The cowboy on the horse, the desert background, and the badge were all cut from the Yee Haw cartridge.
Just a FYI, my husband has always secretly wanted to be a cowboy hee hee so I think he will love this!
On top of the badge, I've used hemp to make a bow and one of the buttons from My Creative Time's, Stitched Button Dies set. The sentiments are also by My Creative Time!
For the front, I've used the set, Turn That Frown Upside Down For the inside, I've used the sets Lots of Love and Here's Lookin at You. Sorry about the photo! I have such a hard time taking pictures of the inside of my cards!
Here's another view....
I will be here all week with more cards and I even have a 3D item to share! It's going to be a FUN week and I hope that you will come back and visit each day! Have a GREAT week and thanks for looking!

ReplyDeleteThis is such an adorable card - it will become a birthday card for my son who likes "cowboy" decor. We are moving this month, so it will be our first Fathers' Day without being in the same town as any of our children.
ReplyDeleteElaine S.
I think the card is great! It's just manly enough without being over the top. I like how you added the twine for a laso affect. My plans are to cook a great meal for the dad of my kids and just take it easy. Have a wonderful day everyone!

ReplyDeleteOh such a cute card! Great use of papers and colors too. Wish I had that cart, but I'm thinking I can work out something similar...thanks for the spark :) for Fathers Day, our plans are still up in the air...first plans fell through, but I was able to find him two historical books that are rather hard to find and that will be his big surprise so I'm sure he wouldn't care what we do after that!

ReplyDeleteI'm intrigued with the way Leanne used the frame from Camp Out - I never would have thought of using it on a card like this! Love her card!
ReplyDeleteFather's Day will mean that our sons will come home, and we'll go out to eat, then open gifts.
Hey, I just noticed that you will announce the winner Monday, May 27th and that's significant for me (us) because that is my (our) 18th wedding anniversary. What a nice surprise it would be if you should just happen to choose me!

Cute card Leanne! Looking forward to a fun week with you.
ReplyDeleteFather's Day will just be me and my husband. Start with breakfast in bed and the Sunday paper. End with grilling out for supper. A round of golf in between or maybe he'll just want to watch a little Formula One racing if it's on.

I'm so excited!

ReplyDeleteGoing off into the Sunset is a wonderful Fathers Day dad...After all the love receied will need to retire for the evening with thoughts of the day.
ReplyDeleteLove these cards..I often find it hard to make a card for my father that doesn't have glitter, pink or polka dotted paper of another feminine color or blink...you give me inspiration to make a card that is still fabulous but not so girly or cutesy like I tend to do. Thns for all you do and the chance for a fab drawing. Happy day..gabbynorthpole@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI wanted to add in my post that My elderly Father lives in New Zealand i rarely see him..he cannot travel and I have a brutal work schedule which has not me to go see him as often as I should have that it is almost too late. Please take the time to visit your parents..you never know what may happen. If u r afforded the luxury of living 15miles away count your blessings and let your children get to know your father or mother.....God bless you all for your inspiration!!
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winner and wellcome aboard cant wait to see all your craetive mind works. thanks for sharing.
