This is my last Father's Day card done. I have to say that Melissa Bickford's World's Greatest Stamp set has gotten lots of use this spring. Doesn't it make you happy when you get a stamp set and then actually get your money's worth out of it. I snapped the photo just as the sun was setting, there really is not a glare on the stickers. This card is being posted for RetroSketches this week and using the colours from colourQ one more time.

ReplyDeleteTracey you are genius!! I love what you did with those ties, AWESOME!!!

This card is the best for a fishing dad! It took me a minute to notice that the fish were ties turned upside down. That is shut-up-brilliant!!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE the use of the ties as fish--that is so clever!!!! LOVE this--may I CASE you sometime?! Pinned for future reference! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever card. Those ties make excellent fish, and I love the mat stack impressed with those lines and matted. I had to squint and read the fine print to see what stamp set you used. And, such great old photos, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, Tracey, and an excellent use for that tie stamp! Beautiful photo's and wonderful memories is what Father's Day is all about! Thanks for joining us again at the ColourQ this week and sharing your card and memories!
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey! First, love your new blog design, so fresh and happy! Second, using the ties as fish is so smart of you, I love how they're not quite fish shaped to make them really interesting. Third, my eight-year-old fisherman happened to be looking over my shoulder and was excited to see your fishing pictures. He thought the fish in the first picture is a bluegill. I defer to him on fishing matters.
ReplyDeleteTracey, this is just too cute! I love how you turned those ties into fish, so clever and very creative. I love the photos of your children fishing, reminds me of doing that with my dad when I was little. Fabulous card!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win, Tracey! I can't take my eyes off the ties, I mean the fish! :) Very creative and inspiring! Love the sentiment too!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Father's Day card! I love the ties on that little pin. I enjoyed seeing those photos of your children when they were little ones - so fun to reminisce. ;-) Don't get me started, though, about getting my money out of my stamps. I think there are only 3 individual stamps in my whole stash of hundreds that have seen light of day in the last 3 weeks. Serious creative drought over here. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThis is SO cute how you turned the ties around to be fish! So creative!
ReplyDeleteclever and more clever!
