Just Man Walketh

Hello! Today begins a new challenge over at Word Art Wednesday: Anything Goes Challenge.

Today as we think of Father's Day approaching this verse resonates.  As I look at the man the Lord has blessed me with, I also look at our children who are blessed because of the spiritual leadership he gives our family.  My husband is a man of integrity blessed by the Lord and I am ever so thankful for him!

For my card today I used a couple papers, one is a bit scuffed with distress ink and some great grid paper that I distressed a touch around the edges.  I then cut a few pieces of twill ribbon I had and made them different sizes one for each of our children.

Have a lovely day and if you'd like? We'd love to see you over at Word Art Wednesday! :)

For My Father-In-Law

I would like to share with you a card that I made for my father-in-law that I forgot to post earlier.  I used some simple My Mind's Eye paper with some burlap fabric.  I printed off this wonderful image from Shoregirl Creations inked the edges a bit more and then added the sentiment I printed off the computer and some buttons.  
A simple card for a wonderful man that we love very much!

A Happy Father's Day

Hello! Today I have a card to share with you that my daughter made for Fathers' Day from all the kids. I love how she arranged it and the colours she chose.
She's sharing this with Word Art Wednesday this week!

Dad got a wonderful peanut butter chocolate pie for a treat and then homemade chicken fettuchini for supper.

I also made something for Father's Day for my husband.  Something that displays pics of the kids.  They are all attached by magnets to the screen so they move and can be changed out as the kids get older, or whatever.
I had found this great older chair that was broken so I just sawed off the back.  I sanded it down a bit and then decided to try my own crackle paint.  So easy, you just put on regular white glue and then paint on some craft paint before the other dries and then as it dries together, the paint cracks and you end up with this great effect.  I wanted big cracks so I used my fingers to paint with. :) After that I put a coat of modge podge to seal it all.  Then I stapled on some screen to the back and added some little eyelet screws to the bottom section and tied some twine between them I attached the pictures and the centre flower to a magnet, then put them against the screen with another magnet behind ( the screen wasn't enough metal to hold them).  Then I added the happy father's day words with small clothespins.  Very simple, but he liked it. Made me happy!

This first pic is a bit clearer, but the one below shows the colour a bit better.

The Crown of Old Men

Hope you are having a wonderful day! Today I have a card to share with you that I've created for the Word Art Wednesday challenge where I'm guest designing for the month of June.  Do come join us!
This scripture passage is wonderful and brings to mind how children are a blessing not a burden.  How wonderful it is to have fathers who can look back at their children and grand-children and see how the Lord has blessed!  May children always give pause to consider the blessing that fathers are in return. To see the time and care that have been shown them by their fathers.
Even though I live far from my father, I cherish all the times that I spend with him.  One of my favourite memories of my father is when he would take me for walks through the forest with him.
When I see my husband spending time with my children it swells my heart! How he learns and encourages their interests and capabilities.  How he show the girls what a real man is to be, and the boys how to be a man.  I feel so blessed!
Praying you have a beautiful day!

A Card and A Good-bye

Hi There! Glad you could come by! I have a card to share with you that I've made for my kids to give to my husband on Father's Day.  I knew the instant that I saw this set that it was for him! It's called Classic Cars and can be found in the Clear Dollar Stamps store HERE!

This is the last card that I'm sharing as part of the design team for Clear Dollar Stamps.  Time has gone so quickly and as I mentioned to a couple of team mates- I know all good things must come to an end, but I'm sad that this is one of them.  I have truly loved being on this team and working with the incredible images they put forward! So for now I must say good-bye.
One other pic from an angle, since my husband when taking pics of trucks gets every angle imaginable! LOL
I used some dark blue textured cardstock for the base and underlay for all the panels, blue patterned is from K&Company and the ribbon is from Portafolia.  Simple card, just how he like things!
Thank you from dropping by! Take Care.
