Happy Father's Day - The Project Bin

I have my Mother's Day cards all made and ready for Sunday so it's time to move on to Father's Day. This card, sponsored by The Project Bin, uses their newest sentiment set called Defined. 

Living on the Texas Gulf Coast, I create a lot of nautical themed designs. This one uses the Father's Day and dad sentiments from Defined. I mixed it with a die cut sailboat from Impression Obsession and designer papers from By the Shore by Divinity Designs and Ahoy There by Carta Bella. The card is finished off with a knotted rope holding the Father's Day fishtail banner.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. It is always a joy to have you visit. For more inspired ways to use the images and sentiments from The Project Bin, be sure to stop by their blog for a visit!

Texas Father's Day - KSS

I have been making a real effort of late to get my act together and be ready for things well ahead of time for a change. One of my huge character flaws is my tendency to procrastinate which can be a real problem when unexpected  events get thrown into the mix. And around my house, unexpected is often the word of the day!

Therefore, today's card sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps is my Father's Day card, and it is ready for that big celebration a full month early. Fortunately for me, I have also recently organized all of my completed cards into theme bins and will file this card immediately into "Special Days" so I won't lose it before the day arrives!!

The Kitchen Sink stamp sets I have featured are:

 Guitar Multi Step Clear Stamps

 Cowboy Boots Multi Step Clear Stamps

 Cowboy Hat Multi Step Clear Stamps

Whole Family Clear Stamps

Maria has been busy, too! Check out her latest KSS creations:
