For some reason, I thought last Sunday was Father’s Day and I was rushing around, all concerned since I wasn’t finished with all the Father’s Day cards that I planned to make. It worked out that I was wrong and I got a week reprieve.
This first card is for my father-in-law. I thought he might like this digital image of golf clubs. Apparently, he used to golf fairly regularly. Unfortunately, his me time isn’t in long enough stretches to accommodate a round of golf anymore. Or maybe he doesn’t like golf anymore, although I hope that isn’t the reason. I used Jen del Muro’s current Sketch for You to Try. This week is a sponsored sketch, so I have a chance to win some stamps from Skipping Stones Design. I love how this card turned out and I think I will have to use this sketch again.

This second card is for my Dad. My parents are big dog people, so I thought he might enjoy this digital image. I picked up this cute Ragga Mutts “Stanley” image from the Digi Doodle Shop as a freebie during the OWH Memorial Day Weekend Blog Hop. It is no longer a freebie, but you can purchase it here. I used the June card sketch found at Sketches! {by Tamara}. I think this card needs something, but I don’t know what. What do you think? Although, I have to say I am really happy with how Stanley’s coloring turned out.
