Hi there! Happy Father's Day to all who celebrate with the special men in your lives :) We had a little dinner together at my household for Scott with my sweet sis Tina, my step-children, my son and his girlfriend. Today, I think he will be occupied playing with his new toys ;) Both of our Fathers have passed away so it's all about Scott here! How about you ~ any big celebration plans?

Today, I am here to share a card I made for the all new CR84FN Color Challenge. Thanks to all who joined in the fun and many thanks to all those who visit simply for inspiration :) All of your support and kindness is greatly appreciated. (Please remember we are now on a bi-weekly schedule).

This week we are playing with Aqua, Green and Yellow. The pretty graphic was created using photos from a Creative Mint.

I stamped one of the gorgeous images from Waltzingmouse Very Vintage Labels No. 2 using a Spellbinders Labels Two die template to cut the image. I stamped both sentiments love and prayers using stamps from Waltzingmouse Say it Loud then cut/embossed using various die templates.

For sketch inspiration, I referred to the Waltzingmouse Sketch from Challenge #25. This week marks a special anniversary for the Waltzingmouse Stamps Sketch Challenge and there is a celebration going on! Please be sure to visit the site ~click HERE~ for COMPLETE details and wonderful inspiration!

Thanks for visiting today :) Please hop on over to CR84FN for COMPLETE details on how to join in the fun and for some jaw dropping inspiration, please visit all the designers blogs and don't forget to leave them some love :) Please remember they appreciate kind words as much as you all do who join in!
