Bird Father's Day Card

Created this Father's Day Card using a Tim Holtz Bird die, Cardz TV stamp, Hero Arts stamp & Spellbinder dies for the floral flourishes. Colored the Bird using TH Distress Ink. Heat embossed the sentiments which in my opinion gives it a Regal look. Popped up the floral flourishes with foam for more dimension.

After Saying "I Do" Wedding Scrapbook Layout

Created this Clean & Simple (CAS), whimsy/fun wedding scrapbook layout with photo from the bridal party after the couple said "I Do" at hubby's niece's wedding we attended in O'ahu Hawaii in Mar 2012.

Used new Spellbinders dies for flourishes that I bought at JoAnns 50% off and had military id (hubby was in Air Force during Vietnam War) for addl 20% off.

Wanted to challenge myself to use the wedding phrase "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." My old is the Fiskars corner rounder. My new are the Spellbinders flourish dies. My something borrowed is photographing the action photo that the professional photographer had them perform and I caught the action of the 2 on the far right jumping with both feet off the ground. My something blue is the blue sky in the photo & light blue on the water of the beach scrapbook paper.
