Daddy LOVE

I sure hope your Father's Day was wonderfully relaxing and you had a chance to spoil your MAN.  The kids woke up dad with lots of hugs, kisses and a few jumps on the belly to get him up.

They love him bunches and don't they look like him. I love that!

I wish I could say that I made my sweet hubs a handmade card but did not. I bought him one a bit more appropriate for our relationship...a bit more sassy then one I could create.

 

Strange right...but I did make one for my dad...he's a bit more formal and so I made him a semi formal card with a hint of sass. Isn't this fun?

 

 

 

Here is the inside of the card. Before you go thinking I was genius to add the DAY inside the card ---

It was actually a mistake (shh don't tell anyone) I hadn't thought the alignment all the way through. Luckily it looks like it was intentional! Yeah me....

Hope my daddy likes it...yup mistake number 2 - it's late....

 

I am adding my card in the following challenges:

 

DL art thankful Thursday - fathers day

dutch dare card challenge - for dad

Meljens designs - dad daddy/fathers day

Daddy LOVE-gift idea

 

Wanted to share a super sweet and NEW style of album that I created for the upcoming FATHERS DAY --- I usually make my albums out of paper bags but this time I added a twist to them

I used chipboard covers and then the inside was made using the bags...

 

Wanted to keep the embellishments cohesive and made to blend with the photos - afterall it is all about dad.

 

I used a new photo mat layout - interactively cool

see what I mean?

 

see nice and vintage inspired but still hip - would look great with pics of a new young daddy

 

I know butterflies aren't masculine but I think it blends well.

 

I fell in love with this album and plan to make more in the next few days

 

 

Happily this album sold and is going to one lucky dad this Fathers Day.

 

Hope you have something special planned for your special DAD/FATHER/MAN in your life.

papas card

I had the kids make cards of their own this year for my hubbs and I made him one too (but his real out pour was my post from yesterday). I made him this simple one....

I have real trouble coming up with men cards that are not to frilly but I think this one was perfect.

the inside was just a rub-on (again my card was really yesterdays post)

Hope you all have a wonderful day with your hubbs or daddys

I am linking this card up to the following challenges:

ats blog - anything goes

belli challenge - sentiment only

Happy Father's Day

inspired by....local sugar Hawaii

Happy Fathers Day to my sweet hubbs, Brad. Being around your family today...

with people amazed that it has been 13 years and remembering our wedding day made thinking about my life with you come full force. On our drive home, I couldn't help thinking how lucky I am. How lucky

our kids are to have you as Daddy...

You are such a kidster. Never afraid to act silly with me and the kids. Sometimes it makes tense situations easier to get thru. Sometimes that silliness is what I need to get through a day. 

You are the parent that teaches our kids the important stuff like riding a bike, learning to swim and how to roll a bowling ball the proper way. You take them on the big rides at the park (no stomach for it), you play video games at Chuck E.CHeese (can't stand that), you take them to the outdoor potties (icky) and you clean up their upset stomach messes...(again, no stomach for it)

You carry the pink back pack on your back to lighten the load. You take long walks with us even after a long day at work. You eat all my meals (even though sometimes after dinner you tell me it was a bit dry or needed more salt), thanks for waiting.You help me with my craft projects. You help me re-arrange furniture ALL the TIME. You give me back rubs just because I ask.

You always make me feel pretty no matter how ugly I feel. You always lay your hand on my back at just the right time. You always make me feel comfortable when we are around people I don't know.

You always try hard to fit in with my friends and are easy to get along with.

You make us see the beauty in things we usually overlook. You have a fondness with the ocean

and try and instill that same love in our kids. Luckily they all love the water. And can spend hours in the pool or ocean...

I knew one day I would meet a guy who would love me with his whole heart and who I knew I would love back and not be so quick to leave when something bad happened. I knew true LOVE would help me grow up. And you did. I not only found a best friend in you but also a partner and my first truest LOVE. I love everything about you, even the things that drive me crazy but mostly, I love your hugs, your kisses, you kindness, your help, your compassion and your calmness. My life would not be same if you were not in it.

Thanks for giving me the most beautiful kids, the best life and your love.

I truly do love you, Big Papa

Have the best Father's Day and vacation.
