Dirty and Simple Father's Day card

Since Father's Day is just a few days away I decided to make a card for Kit today. I wanted it to be very guy like with no embellishments. I pulled out my CTMH stamps and came across this set. We all love to ride Quads and have several to ride around our property on. I gave this card a "dirty" look by sponging around the edges with black ink. Nothing big, but I think he'll like it.....

Homemade gifts

I just found out this week that the man who hired me is going to be leaving our store and going to one in Newnan. This is very upsetting to me, but it's a very good move for him. I wanted to express my thankfulness to him for giving me a job so I decided to make him some bread. I ground the wheat and made it in my bread machine. I'm not good at kneading so it's not the prettiest looking bread, but it tastes good.
I used some of my JustRite stampers for the tag along with some October Afternoon paper (love that stuff).I then made a card to go with it. Can you tell it's not exactly straight? I always seem to get mine a little off and I try so hard to line everything up. Maybe it's cuz I'm left handed? I hope he likes it and will remember how he helped a family get through a tough time by giving me a job.
One more thing, have you seen this month's PTI release? I am in LOVE... I have to get the Tea For Two stamp sets and dies. They are too cool. I may have to sell some of my other stuff, but I know I'd use those sets all the time. Check it out at http://www.papertreyink.com/

Note card set

    

My SIL sent me a kit to put together from one of her lady get togethers. We both love to paper craft so we share as often as we can while still living 5 hours apart. I had forgotten exactly what the card set was supposed to look like so I just went to town working on my own thing. That's what I love so much about card making, you can add so much of your own personal touch and it still *works*. I know I need all the help I can get with creativity {grin}.
BTW, I gave this as a gift to my Neice so that she could have a small stash of cards ready to go out when needed. She loved it, which made me feel so good.

Tea gift holder

I had a day off so I thought I might do some crafting. After looking at Kim Bell's blog I knew what I wanted to do. She is one of my fav. bloggers. You can check her out at Endlessinkabilities. A really cute and easy gift is a tea card holder. Who doesn't like a good cup of tea? The paper is October Afternoon (I'm starting to really love them) and the card stock is PTI Kraft. Let me know what y'all think....
