Dutch Oven Cooking at its finest!!

Sunday was Fathers Day, as you know...so my husband along with our cousin who are both really into Dutch Oven Cooking cooked a MAGNIFICANT dinner!! Our youngest son,Clay had bought Steve a 16" deep dutch oven for Fathers Day so he had to try it out!! (Along with his others!!) What a lovely day with family & friends!! Here's the photos... I hope you enjoy them!!

I must say the day before they went salmon fishing to try out the new rod our oldest son, Cody had bought him for Fathers Day. A lovely weekend!!

Masculine Card-For Mr. Fix-It

Here's a card that'll take the cake any day!! The aluminum foil ( yep just plain 'ol heavy duty aluminum foil) really adds a neat "chrome" look to this card! I ran the foil thru the Big Shot with the Argyle embossing folder. It's very fragile so be careful!! I also used the "ink to paper" technique on the Real Red CS & Crumb Cake CS to make it look a little more rustic. The wrenches are just punches (you know me with punches!!!) 

Have fun with this one!

Strawberry Slush Birthday

This is the first time I've used the  In Color ,Strawberry Slush. Isn't it pretty?

To make this fun fancy fold card. Cut your card base like you normally would, 51/2" x 4 1/4" the score the front at 

2 1/8". BEFOREyoufold on scrore line, center your 2 1/2" circle punch on score line & punch. The fold back on score line.

Using matching stamps & punches create the flower "spray" around the circle punch & down front. Add greeting on 2 3/8" scallop circle. Finishing touches of pearls just add to this cards beauty!!

Moose Birthday

Love the "Walk in the Wild" stamp set!! 

So very masculine!! Here's a great card for that handsome man in your life!! The DSP I used is discontinued but SU! has some great ones to substitute with. 

Lookin Fine!!

Heres a wise old owl for your wise old graduate!! So cute & simple to make! And because it's made of punches I really like it!! You do have to free hand the cap tho but it wasn't difficult. Have a fun time creating this little guy!!

Look Up To Father

Next Sunday is Fathers Day. So here's a cool masculine card for that special Daddy, Papa or Father in your life. Sometimes monochromatic is the way to go on a masculine card & it deffinitely was on this one. And don't you love this stamp? Notice I cut the stamp & greeting apart so that I could use them separately. It's not hard to do. Since this stamp comes only in woodmount, before you take the sticker cover off use very sharp scissors or exacto knife & make a clean cut between the words & image. Then mount the tree on the large flat side of the wood & the greeting on one end of the wood block & place stickers on corresponding sides. That way you can use them independent of each other. Enjoy your day & happy stamping!!

Something's Fishy!!

Do you recognize any punches on this card? This was a fun card to make cuz you KNOW how I love to use punches different than how they were intended to be used. So cute for a kids bday!!
