Father's Day Cards

These are two cards I made for Father's Day. I got both ideas from Close To My Hearts Originals Card Making Book. I used the paper from the Game On paper pack and stickers. I added buttons and used pop dots to add dimension.

Journaling Examples

Here are a couple examples of some of my journaling. In the school pictures, I just put important information about Tyler's first grade year: his teacher's name, principal, best friends, etc. On the Porter County Fair page, I wrote a little bit about the fun day the boys had and some of the activities they did. So when I journal, I don't journal a lot, I just put what I feel is the most important information or what best describes that event. But remember, how and if you journal is all up to you. I just wanted to share with you how I do it. **Note: You can click on each picture to get an enlarged version of the image.**

Teacher's Card/Bookmark

Well, today's the last day of school so we had to get Tyler's teachers gifts to let them know we really had a great year!!! I made his wonderful teacher a card that was really fun to make. I used Close To My Hearts Paper Garden paper pack. I used cranberry embossing powder and heat embossed a flower from the Delight in Everything stamp pack on vellum paper. I cut it out and added a button to the center of the flower. Added a sticker from the Paper Gardens My Stickease pack and then some ribbon I had on hand. For the great teacher's aid in Tyler's class, we made her a bookmark also using the Paper Garden paper and My Stickease. Tyler wrote a little note on the back so she will always remember him.
