All About Dads Blog Hop

Welcome Back Crafty Friends!


Welcome to the All About Dads Blog Hop! We have gathered a talented group of crafters to share their projects with you for Father's Day. We hope that we are able to provide you with lots of great ideas for all the special men in your life.

If you have come from Samantha's blog, then you are in the right place. If you stumbled upon my blog and want to hop along, you can do so by starting at Jen's Blog at http://www.memorieswithjen.blogspot.com/.

I'd like to share with you a Father's Day card.



I made this card for my 4 year old to give to her Tata and I left the sentiment space blank so that she can write his name there. She is 4 and is learning her letters so I thought she'd like to write his name by herself.

Details:
* Patterned papers are from the DCWV 'Guy' stack (love this stack! It's a must-have for masculine cards!)
* Cardstock is Recollections from Michael's
* Recliner cut from the Father's Day limited edition cartridge at 3 inches
* Sentiment punch is from ekSuccess
* i-Rock used to add the silver gems (I think they kinda look like nail heads)
* teal cording


Your next stop on our hop is Lori.
