Hi again, it's me, the Father's Day cardmaker. I hate to duplicate cards as I get bored, so I'm making a different FD card for 4 men this year! It's faster to duplicate like I used to, but I try different papers and layouts now days for each one if I can. Keeps it more interesting! I think this is my last one, then I can get back to the "FUN GIRLY CARDS" with bows, bling and flowers!!!!
I used everything SU except for the buttons at the bottom - darn, now I can't put it under SUO!! I used the To The Nines DSP, choc. chip tafetta ribbon, Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip colors.
I started out with a Verve sketch, but ended up changing it to get it the way I wanted. Hope you like it.
Thanks for looking and if you have a chance, let me know what you think!!
Have a GREAT WEEK!!!

I think this is fantastic and I love your buttons. Maybe we need to let SU know we need some more button choices--yours are great for the 'guy' cards. TFS

Pam, I think you should just stick to the masculine cards since you do such a fantastic job.;) Love those stripes at the bottom and those wonderful buttons. Great image, great card....now go ahead and get on those "girly" cards that I know you are itching to do. Have fun!!

Pam - it's great! Actually, quite par-fect!! Love those buttons!!! And the little knot (where you'd put a bow on a girly card) is just great too... bound to be a hit...

I'm with you, Pam. I really like making different cards for each "father" in my life, too. This one is perfect! I know you can't put it in SUO but you can always use SUM for SU Mostly.
