Beach theme father's day card/ frosted designs challenge!

Hello everyone! I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial day! I know we did...we cooked on the grill, swam in the pool and just hung out at home together....Well I did manage to get some scrapping done this weekend , when everyone was asleep.


I have been doing some father's day cards, I had one more to make....so I made this one for my dad, this is another easel card / Box (With the lighthouse to put the card in). I love these, so easy to make and you can decorate however you want...

I also entered this one into the frosted design challenge...using buttons..come check them out...http://www.frosteddesigns.blogspot.com/


Card Recipe:

LAB (Life's a beach cart) for the waves cut @ 1 1/2" ,

Boat cut @ 3 1/2",

the helm cut @ 2 1/2"


Box recipe:

Lighthouse cut @ 3 1/2"

Palmtrees cut @ 4 1/4"

I inked everything with tom holtz dyed tea ink, used some buttons from my stash, some burlap, star buttons, tore the paper for the sand, added pearl to the lighthouse,I doodled in white gel pen and also used gel pens for the happy father's day (that I wrote on), used a poem found online and then cut out and glued to the inside.......the inside says:

So many times when I could of said "I LOVE YOU, DAD"

The words were never spoken...

and so many times

When I should of said,

"THANK YOU , DAD"

I let those times go by...

But today

I want to let you know

That I will always love you....

I'll always be grateful

For everything you do and have done for me!
