Friday Findings

Focusing on Masculine crafts this month I decided to search for some Father's Day cards and gift ideas.

Love this idea of having words cut out and the kids holding a message to Dad.  You could easily frame this or make several phrases and make a mini book out of it.  You can find the details for this idea here.

Here is a great idea for a gift and card for Fathers Day.

This next card and gift idea would be perfect for the Coffee Lover Dad.  You can find this project and many others at Craft Project Central you can sign up for 3 months worth of projects for $10.  

Two of my favorite Paper Crafters also have some great masculine cards that can be used for Birthday cards or Fathers Day cards.  Just visit either of their blogs and in their search box search "masculine".  They both are  very inspirational.  The monthly card kit that I get from Simon Says Stamp is developed by Kristina Werner.  Please visit their blogs for more inspiration.

Blog Schedule

Well I know its been a while and I have been working on getting a better schedule down for blogging.  I have been reading other peoples blogs and getting ideas as well as working on a schedule so you will know what to look for and when.

For the month of June I am going to focus on Masculine craft, cards, and scrapbook pages.

Friday will be my first post on this.  The schedule will go something like and I will add to it as I work the details.

Monday:  Monthly Kit Monday -  I will feature a new card from the Monthly Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp.
Tuesday: Technique and Tip Tuesday -  I will share a new technique I've found or any tips that I have learned recently.
Wednesday:  OPEN (TBD)
Thursday: Thrifty Thursday - I plan on sharing either something recycled, reused or repurposed
Friday:  Friday Findings - Anything that gives me inspiration (blog, Pinterest etc...)
Saturday & Sunday: OPEN (TBD) will most likely feature a scrapbook page on one of these days

If there is anything that you would like to see or any suggestions you have I would love to hear them!  See you on Friday June 1st!

More cards from my awesome card kit...

Most of these cards are taking right of the idea sheet that was including in my kit.  One is my own design but its not near as great as whomever (I think they are Kristina's) created the idea sheet.

Later this week I am planning on trying to post my first video showing you all the great things I received in my kit.

BTW...the next online card class (www.onlinecardclasses.com) is featuring none other than my favorite guy in the scrapbooking world Tim Holtz!  I can't wait to sign up for that class!

See you soon....
