A BANNER DAY!

I got some new goodies from Stampin Up and was actually inspired to make something. Shocking for sure! Banners are everywhere on cards, walls, etc. I thought I was over them but I got the new banner punch and I love it. I also love anything tiny so I got the Itty Bitty Bits stamps and punches too.  

I think it's purrrrty and I am sure I will have banners all over the place till I get sick of them!
Hope your having an awesome summer!

This card is entered for the following challenges and linky parties:

PERSONALIZED SOAP

Hope your all having a wonderful summer! I have been taking some time off blogging to do work around the house and spend time with the kids. Just wanted to let you know that I have a tutorial up over at THE HYBRID CHICK on how I made some personalized soap for the powder room.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

HANDY DAD'S DAY CARD

We have been busy working on the house lately so I haven't been in the blog world too much. We are creating what I hope will be a back yard oasis so it doesn't leave much time to craft. The weather has been so nice lately that I don't want to be inside either. If I could just create an outdoor craft room......

I do have a Dad's Day card for the handy man kinda Fathers out there though. I didn't even realize you could buy things new when I was little cause my dad could fix just about anything. My husband is the same way thank goodness! This one is real easy to make and could be used for a guys (or a handy girl-there are lots of them out there)  B-day as well.

I think the tools look so real but they are digital pics! I have a tutorial on how it was made up over at THE HYBRID CHICK  if you would like to make one for the Dad in your life. It also has a little gift card holder on the inside.
Have a great week!
