#38 Father’s Day

Good afternoon friends,
We hope you’re enjoying your summer! Today is another Wonderful Wednesday and that means a new challenge here at CWC!
This week’s theme is all about the Dads in our Lives!
We want to see your Father’s Day related projects.

Here is what the wonderful CWC Chefs Created for your inspiration!

Jean used the Car Decals, Batman and Wild Card Cartridges.

Roberta used the Handyman Lite and Birthday Bash cartridges to create this realistic looking gift card holder.



Stacey used the Wrap It Up cartridge to create this Football fan’s card.



Jen used: Create A Critter, Just Because, Calligraphy, Doodlecharms, My World and Easter 2010 to create this ADORABLE cards for the men in their lives!



Dalis used the Wrap It Up cartridge to “tie up” this super card!



Maria Elena used the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge to celebrate her beloved father.



Madison used the Pooh Font Cartridge to create this beautiful keepsake.



Melin used the Wrap It Up and Heritage Cartridges to create this layout.


I also used the dynamite paper from The Paper Temptress!
This paper is hands down the most gorgeous stuff! The flourished and the border strip paper are a beautiful shimmery paper. I am SO SORRY my photo just does NOT do it justice!

Please be sure to head over to the The Paper Temptress and check out all her truly yummy paper!

So here we go . . . I'm Jen from Musings of A Crafty Mom.  I am honored to have been chosen for Melin's very first CWC Design Team.  It has been tons of fun, challenging and enabled me to meet and become friends with so many incredibly crafty women -- in fact, I've had so much fun that I'm starting my third term!  The celebration I'm featuring today is a Mickey Mouse 1st Birthday Party.  My grandson, Dylan, turned one yesterday and we partied with Mickey and all his friends!

Picnic Time Layout

Here is a layout I made for a few challenges. They are a TON of fun! They wanted us to mask something. So I used the negative of the clouds cut from Stand and Salute Cartridge and Inked the Clouds onto the blue paper. With all the mats and things on the page, you can hardly see the clouds, but they are there :-) Hope you enjoy!
