How you doing cards...

Hello Friends,
Hope you are all enjoying your Saturday.  I'm back to share some fun and easy cards I made for my dad.  My dad normally doesn't ask me to make cards so when he does it's a big deal.  He was going to visit my aunt, his brother's wife, and asked me to make him a couple "Hey, how you doing?" cards.  I was happy to do them for him.  He said, No make em too fancy, k?  Since it was a last minute request I wanted to keep it simple and fun.  Pick an image, cardstock, fun paper and maybe an embellishment or two.  I already knew I wanted to make two circle cards.  They are pretty fast and it's very rare to receive them.  I used kraft cs for the card base and then went with a fun bright patterned papers.  Keeping in the circle theme was easy since I used some Spellbinders, an embossing folder, and let the fun papers and images for the focal points.  Unfortnately what took the longest was choosing two images.  I really didn't want to do too much coloring so I knew it had to be a small image.  I was flipping through my stamps and came across the owls from the Hoo Loves You set from TGF.  Score!  One down!

I love how fun the colors are here.  The owl looks pretty cool perched on his make-shift bar.  I wrote in that sentiment.  Thought it was funny. 

I thought to myself, why not keep it animal themed and chose another fun TGF retired set, Down by the Pond.  I chose the adorable frog.  I know he's not really an animal, more reptile, but hopefully you get the theme I was going for.  A few little changes and here is the result. 

Yes that is a cloud background, I am so lovin' how cool it looks!  I'm addicted.  LOL.  I thought I chose the perfect sentiment stamp from AmyR stamps.  When I saw it I giggled it was so perfect!

Isn't it perfect?  hehehe, still makes me giggle.  Alrighty my friends I have to get going, got a busy day ahead of me.  I'll hopefully have another share for you tomorrow.  Wow, I can't believe I've posted so many days in a row!  Mahalo for stopping to see what I've been up to.  I hope you have a fabulous day!  Take care!

Hugs,
Lilo
