Dad's Birthday Card

Today is my Dad's 82nd birthday! 

I tried to make a masculine card for him real quick...

nothing fancy, just hand wrote on the inside,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I used a piece of patterned paper from my stash for the mat. I inked the edge of the card with ColorBox brush pad in black. 

The tag is an old Fiskars stencil that I have had since I started scrapbooking. I then inked around the tag and the flourish with my favorite color....ColorBox spanish olive! I used Stazon ink in jet black, but do not know the brand name of the stamp used for 'dad',  then topped it off with a matte black brad and used pop dots to add a little dimension. 

The bakers twine is from WeRMemoryKeepers.

The faux stitching is made using a Zig pen.

Simply done for a loving and simple man!!

I wish to enter this card at Simon Says Stamps Anything Goes Challenge

~ Kiss The Cook ~

I  made this scrapbook page many moons ago, and the pictures are even older. 

My husband is now grey !

I just had to buy my husband the 'Kiss The Cook' chef cap when I saw it, since he does most of the cooking in our house. 

And I must say, he is a good cook!

Well, how ironic is it that http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com has a challenge called # 149 - Kiss the Cook

Here is my entry, it does not have a recipe but could not pass up this challenge!

Thanks for visiting my new blog!

The Craft Challenged Husband Tag Story

A couple of days ago I was on Youtube looking at video responses to crafty chica87's 'The Craft Challenged Husband/Boyfriend Tag' www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVADWvADIL0. 

Avid crafters were interviewing their spouses/boyfriend about crafting. The men gave some hilarious answers...too funny!

There was a list of 20 questions. Some examples...

How often do I craft?

How often do I craft shop?

Who is Tim Holtz?

What is an ATG gun?

Would you ever craft with me?

What do you think of my crafty mess?

Now, what is so coincidental,

is question #13...

Where is the strangest place you have found glitter?

 It's not glitter...but an embellishment my husband found in the clothes dryer TODAY!!

 He called me to the basement to show me, I started laughing immediately, thinking of question #13 !!

Hope you enjoyed my little story!
