Happy Father's Day!!!!

Hello everyone, hope all the men in your life are having a great Father's Day. Since my Dad lives in another province, I made him a card and sent it in the mail.

He loves eagles so I started by cutting out this Bald Eagle from the Silhouette store by Jennifer Wambach. I used the Houndstooth embossing folder for his outer wing and a popdot for dimension.

Then I added some tree tops from the Tree file from Silhouette and inked them with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint. I didn't really have any sentiments that matched but I found this one by Just Rite from the Bird Houses set.

This card reminds me of the other day at the lake, there was an eagle sitting on the tree tops watching over everyone, just like a Father watches over his kids.

The inside sentiment is from Pink By Design's Spring Has Sprung set and the other stamp is one I had in my stash.

Wishing all the Dad's out there a Happy Father's Day!!!

Playing with Vinyl

Over the last week I had a few extra days off and took some time to play. I tried my hand at glass etching and then decided to play with some vinyl. This is the largest piece of vinyl that I have ever worked with, I made a few errors but they were easy to fix. I knew exactly which sentiment I wanted to cut out so I found a 16x20 glass frameless picture frame, fired up the Cameo and went to work.

I have some fabulous and creative co workers and one of them is a fantastic seamstress. I wanted to give her a little gift to say Thanks for her hard work and the beautiful job she did with one of my tops for work.

I used the Power of one woman vinyl graphic by Snapdragon Snippets and it turned out pretty great (if I do say so myself).

While I was at it I decided to make a sewing shadow box as well. I cut out the Vintage Dressform svg by Jennifer Wambach, added some paper from my stash and threw in some colored pins... I love how it turned out too.

I hope that they will make a great addition to her sewing room and she will enjoy them as much as I had fun making them.
I will be entering these into the challenge #21 Anything Goes over at Silhouette Challenges. Make sure to head on over there and check out all the great projects and enter one yourself.
