The enamel dots are from Michael's

BBTB2 - Happy Father's Day

Happy Monday!

I have the craziest week ahead and to top it all off...

Father's Day on Sunday!

Not. Even. Close. To. Being. Prepared!!!

At least I have a card ready,

thanks to BBTB2 ;)

Our challenge this week is

Father's Day.

I picked up a new paper pad at Hobby Lobby,

I haven't bought new paper for a LONG time!

I really love the masculine colors and patterns.

I used Summer Celebrations for the tie cut

and was inspired by a sketch from Mojo Monday.

The sentiment is from a $1 stamp set I picked up

along time ago at Robert's.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

So my DT sister Katrina recommended a YouTube channel

for some fun tutorials and I decided to check it out!

Jen of Eve Designs

I highly recommend you take a look at her amazing videos too!

I watched a video on some embellishment paper clips

and I had to try them out.

However, I didn't have any of the cute spiral clips,

so I decided to use clothes pins instead.

I think they turned out super cute!!!

My paper is from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby),

that I picked up years ago.

I cut one of the flowers from Art Philosophy,

the bigger one is 3" and the smaller one is 2".

I inked up the edges with some black ink and added

a black flat back rhinestone for the center.

I used my ATG Gun to adhere

the flowers to the clothes pins.

I really like how they turned out.

I hope you will join us for "Summer School"

this week over at Cut It Up!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
