Sweet Magnolia's "Family" Challenge

I happily came across the amazing blog, Sweet Magnolia Rose.  Mistyrose has a wonderful challenge that is closing on April 1st.  The challenge is to create a Family themed item - LOVE IT!!!  Family is my favorite topic (as if you can't tell by my posts). :)

Sticking with the 'Family' theme, I had my little helpers make it a family card.  We made a Fish card because as a family we love to go fishing!!  My little boy 'helped' put the blue circle through the Cuttlebug to emboss it.  My little girl 'helped' ink the edges of the card (she picked the color and didn't want any ink on the top). :)  My little boy 'helped' stamp the top sentiment (hence the blur).  My little girl 'helped' me stamp the bottom sentiment.  We had fun!!!!

Recipe:
I can't remember where I found the card base, I do know I welded two together on my Gypsy to make it a card.
Fish - Camp Out cut at 3.0
Stamps - Pink by Design Simply Everything stamp
Embossing - PC folder, I'm not sure of the name

Make sure you go over to Sweet Magnolia Rose to enter a project! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!

Fishin' a Happy Birthday

GRRRRR - is all I can say to my final result!  Don't get me wrong - I loved the challenge over at Peachy Keen Stamps! They challenged to use the color scheme and sketch below. 

I was trying to make this really cute (yet masculine), but had a few problems along the way.  Long story short - It worked, but not as planned; I ended up having to write the sentiment (that's where the GRRRR comes in).  My Dear Father-In-Law's Birthday is right around the corner.  One of the things my kids love to do with Grandpa is go fishing so this was the card we came up with. 

I used the sketch and colors from Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge, but I flipped it upside down to fit.  Like I said - not the way I wanted it to look, but it will mean a lot to him because it's from his grandkids.  I did end up doodling a little before we sent it - forgetful me forgot to take another picture, sorry!  I used the Camp Out cart for the fishing pole, the fish is from Paper Doll Dress Up, and the waves are from Plantin Schoolbook.  Pay no attention to the terrible inking job, it's a skill I still don't have mastered. :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
