Day. Father's Day.

   We are spending part of father's day with my husband's mom and step-dad.  He asked me to create a card for his step-dad.  Knowing he likes cars I decided to go with a James Bond theme.  
 

   The car is from Nifty Fifties, the character is from Create-a-Friend (I added the tie with a gel pen.), and the lettering is from Nate's ABCs.  I really wanted to get some sunglasses, but I don't trust myself to be able to cut a pair and I couldn't find any in the cartridges I had. 
   I plan on entering this in the BBTB2 challenge and Fantabulous Cricut.

My Daddy

   This card is for my Daddy.  I have been and always will be a GINORMOUS daddy's girl.  My dad is one of the best dads in the world.  He has always been there for me and my brother through everything.  My brother was diagnosed with Autism in elementary school and my dad was right there at the Dr. appointments and therapy sessions.  He supported my mom when she took him out of school to home school him.  He talked me through boy problems, math problems, and issues with friends.
   When we were younger we would spend evenings watching tv together.  Sometimes we would talk during shows others we would just sit as a family.  In high school we watched A LOT of Everybody Loves Raymond.  My dad played Wally Cleaver in a community show.  For all these reasons I chose a TV themed card.  
   The picture in the TV is one from my wedding where he is walking me down the aisle.  The names around the TV are the names of different TV dads from my dad's time and ours.  Names like: Steve Douglas, Tim Taylor, Andy Taylor, and Ward Cleaver.  I wrote Daddy at the top because no matter how old I get or what I am doing, he will always be my daddy.
   The TV is a cut from Nifty Fifties and I used some CTMH paper for the body of the TV.  On the inside of the card I wrote, Thanks for putting all those TV dads to shame.  Happy Father's Day.  I plan on placing this card in BBTB2, Moving Along With the Times, Fab 'n Funky, Pile it on and Fantabulous Cricut challenges.    

Happy Anniversary

   This is another card for my husband.  Our one year anniversary is on Sunday.  We have had some really tough times through the last year, but we made it!  I am very proud of us!  Ice blue and silver were our wedding colors, so I tried to incorporate that theme in my card. 
   I plan on entering this in the BBTB2 challenge of manipulating a cut.  I used many different cartridges for this card.  The groom is from Create-a-Friend, the church is actually the dog house from Nate's ABCs, and the lettering is from Nifty Fifties.  All cuts were done on the Cricut 2.
   The church was the cut I changed.  I used a sharpie to create the roof by just coloring in the space and edging.  I used gel pens to make the cross at the top and the garland around the arch way.  The most involved process was making the bricks.  I went the old fashioned way and just used a pencil to create the old worn look to the church.  The hearts are pop up stickers and I used a gel pen to write my husband and my initials.  
   The groom is giving his heart to his bride and carries love with him.  
 

Father's Day?

    It may not look like it, but this is a Father's Day card for my husband.  The neon green is his favorite color and the sentiment is right on the money.  When we got married I not only gained a husband, but a daughter as well.  I am still getting used to being a mom and he makes it look easy at times.  Practice makes perfect, I guess.
   I used the Sweet Treats cartridge to cut the cake, letter, and platter.  I will be putting it in the Father's Day challenge by Exploring Cricut.  It doesn't look like the typical Father's Day card, but my husband is NOT a typical Father.  He is the epitome of a DAD.  He does his best to teach and play with her, as well as try to do the tea parties and hair.  I'm proud of him.  He is a great dad.
