Father's Day Card ~ Sweet Lighthouse Memories {2nd Post}

This lighthouse holds a special place in my heart.
Years ago when my friend was stationed at the 
Cape Blanco lighthouse when he was in the Coast Guard .
It was closed to the public so it was just the two of them.
He and I grew up across the street from each other.
I babysat his wife when she was a little girl.
She was like a daughter to me.
When they started dating we did everything together.
We went to Disneyland every summer for years.
We spent weekends and summer vacations at the lighthouse.
When she died in a car accident in 1985 my heart broke.
When I saw this stamp I just had to have it.

I used it to create this card for my Father-in-law.



*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Cape Blanco Lighthouse stamp from Peddler's Pack.
*Sentiment from Stampin Up.
*G07, E13 and R37 markers from Copic
*Tuxedo Black stamp pad from Tsukineko.

May your day always be filled with love and laughter.

Dancing Leprechaun

I have started revisiting some of my lonely crafty items. You know the ones...
You saw someone do a technique or saw a cute stamp and knew you could make something with it.
Lately I have been using my Cricut and Cuttlebug a lot. You can go crazy with all the medias there are out there to see creative things to make.

Here is a little guy I got at my local craft store and I am almost certain I never used him.

Look he was so excited to come out of the assorted holiday stamp drawer he is doing a little dance.

And then I got some happy mail today with you guessed it more crafting stuff. I got four new Cuttlebug embossing folders. I used one of them on this project. lol



*Card base 5.5 x 4.25 in.
*Embossed layer 5.25 x 4 in. embossed with the new Cuttlebug Anna Griffin Matelasse folder.
*Leprechaun stamp  Peddler's Pack Stampworks
*Gelly Roll pens
*Holiday Inspirations shamrock ribbon from Joanns

Thanks for stopping by and leaving me those special comments. I appreciate each and every one.
