Better late than never: Father's Day cards

"I'm so sorry I haven't been keeping this blog active.  Lots has been going on and I've been crafting just haven't been able to find the time to blog about all this things I've been making.  This last week I started working full time hours since at my work we now have a full day summer program for the kids I usually work with for after school care. But since schools out we have them all day.  So before this week started I was busy preparing activities and such to start working full time.  Also the first full time week I had three bigger activities with the kids. We've also been doing a lot of family activities lately.

Another thing that has been taking up a lot of my time lately is scrapbooking (Project Life) I've been trying to get my son Riley's first year album done.  He's almost 16 months old and I'm only half way there and need to go back and put some more details in on the parts that I've already done.  Plus I haven't scrap booked any other events of 2016 so I've got to catch up there too sometime.  

Anyways now I'd like to share with you the Father's Day cards I made for this year.  I made a bunch as I did a spring craft fair and then I gave some to the dads I know.  

This is definitely one of my favourite cards I made.  My dad recently got a travel trailer that looks similar to this one and I really wanted to create a trailer card for him. I stumbled across this super cute digital stamp from pretty cute stamps and it was perfect to make the card I wanted to for my dad.  I was able to print it on a full sheet of paper to create a trailer shaped card which was just perfect for this year's Father's Day.


This next card I just used some tie scrapbook paper I picked up at the dollar store. This card and the other ones too that say Happy Father's Day are using a hero arts stamp for the sentiment "Happy Father's Day" (The one I have may be an older one, I will link to a current stamp that is very similar.


The next two cards I used "My Favorite Things" Tool Time Die-namics and I love how these turned out. 

I also used the "My Favorite Things" Tool Time Die-namics for this next card. I love this pun, so cute!


This card is using a digital image from "The Stamping Boutique" called Prince Lonnie Latte.

This is A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E! You've done a great job on this, so clever! The card looks much better than the actual trailer does..............!

Get Kids Crafty May Blog Hop Gardening theme

It's that time of month again where I share a fun crafty project that I made with my kiddo Riley for Get Kids Crafty. Hello and thank you for joining us for the May Get Kids Crafty! blog hop! We are thrilled to have you! Our theme this month is gardening and our kids have created some AMAZING projects to share with you! We had a lot of fun creating our project this month. We made a bumble bee mobile.  Both my kids love the song bringing home my baby bumble bee. Especially my youngest Liam, it seems to usually calm him down when he's upset.  So we created this fun project to the theme of the song.      First we had to die cut our bees, Here is Riley playing with an already cut bee in the Big Shot machine.      Here is Riley turning the handle on the Big Shot machine to cut out all our bees. We had to do 16 in total one for the front and back as you will see in a little bit. Here is what the finished bee looks like and the die cut that we used from
