Father's Day Cards

I created a couple Father's Day cards using the new Reminisce collection, The 4th/DC.  This is such a unique collection because the "A" sides of the papers are all Washington DC related and the "B" sides are all 4th of July related.  What a great concept!  I love how the Reminisce folks are always thinking outside of the box! 

So, to all of our wonderful fathers, husbands, brothers, brothers-in-law, uncles, etc.  a huge Happy Father's Day to you!

Magic Wands are fun!

Last year SRM Press came out with these wonderful wands and I finally had a chance to play with them.  Here I created what I hope will be a nice alternative to a "sparkler" for the little ones this Independence Day.  I filled the wand with red, white & blue chocolate candies I found at the local grocery store.  I cut the stars using my Cricut machine and then glued the stars to the wand cap.  I put a few stitches through three ribbons and a button and adhered it on top of the wand with an adhesive dot.  I then curled the ribbon with a curling iron.  It was a quick, fun and inexpensive project!  The tubes are available here for only $1.
