Another idea gone well...I saw a flower box made from the Baskets and Blooms Sizzix die and thought - Tool Box for Father's Day! I was hoping I could find some little tools that some store might have been capitalizing on Father's Day but no go. So I raided Jackson's little tool set for props! The paper is Parisian Summer and the stamps are from "All Holidays" and the "Sanded" background on Creamy Caramel CS. I really liked how the jumbo eyelets complete the box!
Sometimes I have an idea and it actually turns out!! I cut two circles out of black CS and then textured the front with the Sizzix SU Texturz. The saying says "It's Time to Party with the Grill Master" from the Only Ovals set and then when you open the card it says "You're One of the Good Ones" from the Smarty Pants set. Great card for all manly grill masters in your house!
Apologies for the blurry photo! This is the first of our May stamp club projects. I've seen so many cute cards with this set. And did you know you can emboss on felt, yeppers, you can!
What is wrong with me? I mean Jackson still has another year of preschool and I sobbed through his preschool graduation like a little baby. His teacher was also emotional and the graduation march song just got me going. I think I'll be passing out when he actually graduates from kindergarten, high school and oh my, college! (note to self: bring paper bags and smelling salts). I wish I had a pict with his teacher but only remembered to bring the camcorder to the program. There's always next year!
I finally finished the teacher gift for Jackson's preschool teacher, Miss Angie. These items included (starting at the top, clockwise): a water bottle with drink mix, a first aid kit, a notebook and pen, a box full of 3X3 notecards, a jumbo paperclip, a bag tag and the thank you card to Miss Angie. And all these items fit so cute in the storybook box.

One of my cards I swapped with my club ladies in April. DSP is Walk in the Park.
We saw Wicked last Tuesday and... lemons, and melons and pears, OH, MY! I had goosebumps through the whole thing (someone tell me that burns calories)! Between the costumes, the music, the set, the acting, the singing, the comedy and the storyline with all the moral decisions for the characters, my mind was spinning! We had never seen it nor knew much of the story (as I didn't want to know so it would be more exciting). What a cool production! I so appreciate such wonderful talent.
Some of my favorite lines:
I LOVE this paper! It is so versatile and I just keep coming back to it, card after card!
Remember this commerical from the 80s? Pay attention please! Tank you... Umm yeah, and I'm not showing you mine, the beauty in the video is much more appealing!
Jackson was a bit gun-shy of the water this time after taking a full dip a few days before. 
And yes, it warmed up that day and my bro and I took in some boogie boarding. We were the only ones out playing in the waves WITHOUT wetsuits - pansys! 
Thanks for the fun time Curt and Mary! Hope to see you in the fall after Jr is born! (And please pick a name or I'll have to keep calling him that!)
