MPS Father's Day Challenge

My Pink Stamper is hosting a Father's Day Challenge with the prize being a Cricut Expression (donated by ProvoCraft). Wow!!! How I would love to win this and upgrade from my Create. The challenge is to make a father's day card. Since I had already made my Dad a card during a NSD challenge, I made a card for my kids to give to Grandpa. I've had a pretty busy weekend and wasn't able to sneak some time to make it until tonight after dinner.

Here is Grandpa's card.

The monkeys were cut at 2", 2 1/2" and 3" using Create A Critter. I cut the vines at 3" and 3 1/2". The background is done by stamping the leaves using a VersaMark stamp pad. I used the Sports Mania to cut the soccer ball at 3/4" and the football at 1/2". The princess tiara is cut at 1/2" using Once Upon A Princess. Each monkey represents each of my 3 kids. My soccer star, my football star, and my princess. I know Grandpa will love this.

My other project that I've been working on today are some tiny crochet flowers. I saw Momo use some on a card and I wanted to try to make them. I got a tiny crochet hook, some crochet thread, and searched the internet for some written instructions. They are too cute. I'll take some pics and that will be my next post.

Thanks My Pink Stamper and Provo Craft!!!

  2. Saw this on My Pink Stamper and just had to check it out. I love the ideas of the 3 monkeys. I have 4 kids so I might scrap-lift this for my hubby. Great job.
