HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! AND SOME CHALLENGES

Hi Everyone!

Hope you are all having a nice Father's Day whether it be spending the day with your loved ones, talking to them or just thinking about them! When I spoke with my dad this morning, it sounded like he was going to have a great day just doing what he loves & that's Entarcia (wood working). He was happy that my mom made him eggs benedict for breakfast & she was making steak & baked potatoes for dinner (both sound soo yummy, but I'm on a diet). Was great talking to him, because he's not much a phone person, but I knew today would be a little different...it took him longer to say "let me hand you over to your mother". LOL, that's just one of the things that I love about him though!!!

Here is the card I made for him, followed my the card that Gilby I made for my hubby!!! Didn't realize it until after I made my dad's card that I had used the same image last year & the same paper line. I hope he doesn't notice when he gets it. Yep, I said tomorrow, I thought for sure he would have received it by Saturday, since I mailed it on Tuesday (he's in WA St. & I live in VA). Guess I'm going to have to start sending things a week in advance, I'll remember this next month when it's his birthday. Any hoodle-hoo, he'll be surprised tomorrow!!!

My hubby loved his card, also probably had something to do with how silly Gilby was acting!!!
Gilby was sooo funny, my hubby &  I both had wished we had a camera. When it was time to give him his card I called Gilby over to the couch, well he was soo excited when he saw that we were giving daddy a card! I told him to give it to daddy & as I was handing it to my hubby, Gilby snatched it away in his mouth & started to give it to me!!!!! He did this like 3 times!!! LOL, my hubby &  I were cracking up, it was hysterical!!! Even when typing this now, it still makes me laugh!!!
For as long as I can remember, my dad has had a Mustache, so I thought this would be a fun idea! I have a picture of him (I was just a baby), where he was wearing a fake "handlebar" mustache for a costume party!
You will want to click on the next image to see all the fun facts, especially if you're a fan of the Handlebar Mustache! LOL
He's wobbling

Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge

Hi Everyone!
I am so happy to be posting this card tonight!  Theresa, "The Scrapbooking Queen" has had a challenge over on her blog http://thescrapbookingqueen.com/ for all of us card makers & scrappers to make a card for Breast Cancer Awareness month. 

There are so many wonderful cards that she has received and there's still time to get your in. Just go visit her blog for all the details! The best part of this is that she will be taking all of the cards we send her to a local women's center and they will deliver them to all the women who are battling this horrible disease!

I'm very pleased with how my card turned out.  A dove represents Hope, Peace and Tranquility, which is what I want all these women to feel.



The cart I used was BB~the Dove and Vine on the front were cut at 3" and the Vines on the inside were cut at 3.5".

Hope you like it!  Gilby just LOVES comments...his tail just wags away!

Thanks for stopping by!
Puppy Hugs,
Wendy

My Dad loves to spend hours in his shop working on his

He sells his Woodwork along with my Mom's BEAUTIFUL Floral Arrangements & Jewelry at local craft shows in Wenatchee, WA.
I thought the patterned tool paper was perfect for him!

All cardstock is from DCWV "The Guy Stack"

Lots of sanding & some inkin for distressed look
