Some Days You're The DOLL, Some Days You're The PIN!

You ever just have one of those days?  Or weeks or months or....anyway.  I made this card and already feel better.  (I'm convinced it was the card and not the homemade peanut butter cup ice cream!)

Create It 3 Ways Instagram Hop!

Hi everyone!  I’m participating in an Instagram hop today called Create It 3 Ways!  Hosted by the lovely @amritapettus, this fun hop will take place the third Saturday of every month!  Super fun.  Our first theme is Father's Day/Masculine and I chose to use this amazing Erin Lee Creative cover plate for my cards!

Each of the cards has a different theme while using something the same, that's the point of this challenge.  I set out to do a birthday card, thank you card and a Father's Day card.  Two out of three ain't bad, right?

Initially, this was going to be the birthday card, but I just felt like the Thank You theme worked better here, I don't know why.

My favorite of the three!!  I didn't think this one needed a sentiment, it was almost like it detracted from its awesomeness so I left it as is.

I used all textured and handmade papers which I think really stands out here.

Just a few challenges:

• DLArt May Linky Party
• Word Art Wednesday - #596 Anything Goes 2/5

YAY!! You Did It!!

Graduating high school is a huge accomplishment!  These kids survived the pandemic BS and woke agendas and still made it out to conquer the world!!

Or make more at the drive through window at McDonald's than I did running a store.  The world's kinda backwards.
