The 2nd card I have to show you today is from Aimee’s online class last night at Lil’ Scrappers! This is the cutest Fathers Day card idea i’ve ever seen!! Mine is a little on the wild side… kinda reminds me of a shirt that Donna’s dad on the 70’s Show would wear… rotfl!!! Don’t ya think?? Kinda hot huh?

The cutie in my LO is my gorgeous son, Dallas! He’s going to be 14 in a few short months! I can’t believe it… time goes by so quickly! He’s a great kid though.. always makes me laugh!! lol!

I also have a card to show you from a card kit that was sent to me in a card kit swap on Lil’ Scrappers… I loved everything that was in this kit, and used most of it on this card! My motto is, “more is more”… LOL!!

That’s all I have to share today… but I am going to add a bit more ‘candy’ into my blog candy pkg!! I’m adding 10 + feet of my fave sheer ribbon, and a 7 Gypsies metal page edge.. YUM!
