Just in Time for Father's Day...

In a freak burst of creativity yesterday, I managed to make two cards. And they were both "guy" cards, which any stamper knows is one of the toughest type of card to make. I was quite pleased with how quickly these came together as I had dreaded sitting down to make Father's Day cards. Dad's card is 3 1/4" x 6 1/2", and Ed's is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".

First, for my dad....

I found the Back Country collection of paper when Ed and I went to Fredericksburg a few weeks ago. There is a wonderful scrapbooking/stamping store on the main street of town called Journey Lane. I spent way too much time looking around and could have spent a ton of money on all of the gorgeous papers they stock. Next time I go to Archiver's I'm going to look for more of the Paper Loft collections. I love what I bought and I want more! :)

Happy Father's Day!
