Father's Day Freshly Made Sketch

Tomorrow is Father's Day. It's 11:15 at night and I decided last minute that I wanted to make a card for a friend whose family is sick and they're not able to celebrate tomorrow. I know he must be down so I thought a card would cheer him up, even though he's not my dad.

Needing some quick inspiration, I turned to Freshly Made Sketches #690 to give me a starting point. My supplies were very limited as I only have this one stamp that says Happy Father's Day. The images I have for men are limited too. Thankfully this guy likes fishing so I think I've got a good combo.

Here's my complete supply list:

  • Stampin' Up! By The Tide Stamps
  • CTMH A Little Everything Stamps
  • Core'dinations Patterned Paper
  • Kaiser Kraft Patterned Paper
  • Misc. Patterned Paper
  • SU! Night of Navy Card Stock
  • Memento Nautical Blue Ink
  • SU! Blueberry Bushel Ink

I still have yet to make (or find a previously made card) for my hubby by tomorrow. I've spent way too much time cross stitching today and now I really have to hustle. I've even procrastinated on the gifts so we have to open them tomorrow night. Where were we before Amazon!?

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day whether you're celebrating a special guy in your life or not. Thanks so much for stopping by!

  6. Barb, we actually went fishing yesterday which always brings us fond memories of my FIL - I did a little coloring in honor of my own who taught me all I know about it! I love your card and that fish is definitely a 'keeper!' Thanks for playing cards with us at Freshly Made Sketches!

    1. That is such a sweet story that you did some coloring in honor of your father in law. And I love the "keeper" pun too! :) I enjoy your challenges! :)
