Father's Day Gifts From Baby Henry

It's Father's Day y'all!! Whoop whoop!!! For some reason I'm in such a great mood! 

Even with this little guy tearing up my craft room. This is what he does... EVERY... DAY... NO... LIE...

But I don't mind 'cuz he lets me work.

And he's super cute. How could you get madd at a face like this??? You just can't. He's a good baby. Baby Henry chillin' like a villin' in summer! What what!!!

Okay back to Father's Day stuff. So Baby Henry decided he wanted to give Daddy and Grandpa something for Father's Day. 

Here's Daddy's gift. (P.S. It's Pinterest-inspired but you already knew that.) I took the "Walk a Little Slower, Daddy" poem and translated it into Spanish since Daddy is fluent in Spanish and is still learning English. While Daddy was asleep I took his sneaker and stamped it in yellow paint then onto the printout. Then I took Baby Henry's foot (while he was awake, not sleeping! that wou;dve been a disaster!) and painted it orange and stamped his footprint over Daddy's. 

For Grandpa, I used Baby Henry's palm print. First I painted the water scene. Then I painted Baby Henry's hand yellow and imprinted it onto the painting. He's a little fishy! And he's hooked on Papa!!

Dad and Granddad loved it!

Two Father's Day Cards And A Sporty One

Okay so I'm trying to catch up with old cards. Cards 637 and 638 are two Father's Day cards I made for my cousin Lizbeth in June. The first is for her father. He loves Virgin Mary from Guadalupe. For his card I wanted to try a card I've never done before. The image I found online, I honestly can't remember from where though. The second card is for her grandpa (my uncle). For him she wanted something fun so I decided to use my cute square cards from Lili of the Valley (love them!!!) For his card I decided to use a new template as well. It took a while but I was able to complete everything by the deadline. I also created a box using my Martha Stewart scoring board so that the card/box would fit.I really liked the new templates and want to use them  more often!

Card 639 is a sporty birthday card I made for my co-worker, Mal. She asked me to make a birthday card for one of her friends. He is a fan of the New York Red Bulls soccer team, and the Juventus soccer team from Italy. And for each team she wanted me to add a certain image. Below, my creations...

Invites For My Dad's 60th Birthday Bash in Ecuador!

Hi Peeps! I've got a wonderful invite to share with you. This year, in August, my dad turned 60 years old! As I always do, I wanted to celebrate this milestone with a birthday bash in Ecuador! I like doing this because we have tons of family in Ecuador and they are always up for a good time/ family reunion. What I love most about this is the fact that since I had told my brothers about this more than a year in advance, they were all able to go, along with their families. For example: my older brother brought his three kids and my middle brother brought his wife. Wow! Let me tell you. We had such a wonderful time on this trip. I held my dad's party at a once-working hotel across the street from my uncle's house. We fixed it up. We brought our own food. Got the cake and what a beauty of a cake let me tell you! All in all it was great fun as I knew it would be! 

For this party I decided to make the invites. Again, armed with my trusty Cardmaker magazine, I came up with my design. I made two types of invites, both tag-shaped and red since this is my dad's favorite color. Before I left I was running out of time so I recruited two of my friends to come along and help me finish this! If they hadn't come I wouldn't have finished! And even after they left I stayed up really late finishing everything! I barely slept before my morning flight! 

I think this is one of my favorites. It's so simple, but I feel like it's elegant at the same time! For the DP I scanned some Christmas paper and printed out many sheets because I wanted multiples of the same invite. I did the same with the other DP I used.  It was also Christmas paper but you really wouldn't have noticed. We used a stamp on the back for the date details since I knew I would be filling this info in later on. When I left for Ecuador I still didn't have a place booked! Anywho, like I said before. Everything went off without a hitch!

Enjoy!

The wonderful and tasty cake. It was fondant and the filling I think was pecan with something else. It was so good! 

Father's Day Card for My Daddy!

Welcome! To all the Daddies out there: HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! Last month for Mother's Day, I made my mom a pretty flower pot card. In keeping with the same idea of things my parents like, I thought for Father's Day I would make my dad a wallet card! Lately, I've really been wanting to branch out and try new things. A wallet card is a first for me! So armed with my Cardmaker magazine (They had directions. I don't remember the issue though! Sorry!), I decided to take the challenge. I used brown cardstock and dark brown ribbon to make this. I also ran the paper through my cuttlebug to make the outside swirlies. I added a few embellies here and there and for whatever reason I decided I would put a picture of my nephews and niece instead of myself and my two older brothers. I loved the way it came out. My dad loved it too and has had it by his bed since I've given it to him. His one gripe? The picture! He would've wanted a picture of us too! Doh! Oh well. There's always a next time! Enjoy and if you try one let me know! Cheers!
