I was asked to make a Father’s Day card for someone yesterday and realized how behind I actually am!… I have been busy, my son has been home from Auburn, my daughter has visited from Memphis a couple of times lately, and my mom has had several doctor’s appointments… not to mention I am hooked on Grey’s Anatomy reruns… How did I miss that show!?! Here is my first Father’s Day card… I made two of these and still have to make one for my dear husband. My video on this card has lots of info about welding…and a picture of the paper I used for this card… thank you so much for stopping by my blog!! I love your comments, they are dear to my heart. Hugs, Jeannie

I will not have Cricut instructions on this card because of all the welding it can’t be duplicated without a Gypsy or Design Studio.

Adam is one of my Facebook friends because he and his wife took Madison's wedding pictures.... he saw my "Every Light in the House is On" mushroom card yesterday on Facebook and he asked me to make a birthday card for his wife... he lives a little more than an hour away and I explained to him that because I mail them in a bubble envelope they take longer to arrive than a day, he was willing to drive the hour or more  to pick up my card.... was that a compliment or what!!!.... so I got to work designing on my Gypsy last night...and the card came together so good this morning...I am just so excited about this card.... hope that Adam and his wife are happy with it!!... thank you so much for looking!!... Hugs, Jeannie

Waves cut @ w 2.74 x h 1.0...I overlapped 3 of these to get the length I needed grouped them and welded them together....I place a rectangle on the screen the size of my card base to measure this by.... on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 inch.

For the second row of waves duplicate these waves and weld to a rectangle from George cut @

 w 5.17 x h 0.83... on the Cricut I would cut three waves and hand cut the rectangle at a little large than 3/4 and inch by 3 1/2 inches and glue a row of overlapping waves to this.

Basket for bottom of boat cut @ w 3.50 x h 8.07.... I put two of these on my mat...cut on by itself..which I cut the handle off of and popped from the welded boat...the other boat I welded at square and a rectangle to it to make the house...on the Cricut I would cut the basket at 3 inches on real dial size...I would leave the handle on one of the baskets to glue the square and triangle to.

Elephant cut @ w 1.83 x h 1.68...I glued one giraffe to the back of the "tub"of the boat which is popped from the whole boat....the other I glued to the whole boat...this gave a space between each animal for dimension...on the Cricut I would cut these @ 1 3/4 inches.

Fish cut @ w 0.87 c h 1.02...you will only need 5 ...I glued 3 to the back of the front waves which are popped form the back waves... on the Cricut I would cut these at 1 inch.

New Arrival

Giraffes and their layers cut @ w 1.12 x h 2.46 ... I glued one giraffe to the back of the "tub"of the boat which is popped from the whole boat....the other I glued to the whole boat...this gave a space between each animal for dimension.... on the Cricut I would cute these at 2 1/2 inches.

Rectangles 2 cut @ w 0.19 x h 1.58 ... rotate these and weld together to make the roof line... duplicate...then weld one set to the top of the roof...and cut one set separate so you can use a different paper for contrast... using the Cricut I would cut this by hand... and cut only one and glue to your roof.

I was a bit fidgety watching TV last night so I got our my Gypsy to go through my cartridges....and see if I could come up with any ideas...I just got the new Sentimental cartridge the other day and I love, love the stamp cut on it... and had Valentines on my mind and looked at the Sweethearts cartridge, which I haven't used very much.... and decided laid this card out really quick without thinking much of it... when I decided on the papers I wanted to use today I got really excited!!!... its a simple card...but the papers and the Ultra Fine Clear Embossing Powder on the balloons, the "love", and the couple really set this card off.... I am really really happy with how it turned out!!... hope that you like it too!!...I prayed to God for some card ideas...I told him I really needed this for my mental health....and he has been so good to me the last couple of day...always...but the last couple of days with my cards.... So I want to give God the credit for these cards and say "Thank you God so much for what you do for me!".... thank you so much for looking!... Hugs, Jeannie

I am home from work today... a bad Lupus attack... I tried to get dressed and just couldn't... so I have rested all morning... trying unsuccessfully to sleep.... this little angel has been on my mind all morning!!...she was inspired by a frig magnet at work... I worked on her on my Gypsy last night...and finally decided to finish her up... so maybe I could sleep... I am taking her a sign from God that he is taking care of me and in the morning I will feel better enough to work...usually a day in bed will do it... so back to bed after this post!! Thank you so much for looking... hugs, Jeannie
