A Dutch Father's Day!!

I was not very certain on today's challenge on Splitcoast Stampers. It was to make a card with an international flair. I was stumped on what to do..Then I thought about it and since Father's Day is Sunday I thought I would do a card from my stepson to his dad. My stepson (who lives with us) spent his first 8 years of life in the Netherlands. My stepdaughter lives there with her mom. My husband lived in The Netherlands and in Germany for over 10 years. So this challenge worked out perfect he got a card that says "Happy Father's Day" in Dutch. He will be so touched by it.. So this is for challenge LSC225. Hope you guys like it and thanks for stopping by and visiting. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Good Evening Everyone!!! Today's challenge on splitcoast stampers was to create an image, WT221. I finally got a challenge done!!! I decided to create my image by covering chipboard circles frames with designer paper, add butterflies, setiment ,and lots of pop dots. This was so much fun to create!! I couldn't just make one so I decided to do a card with each of the in colors. I am really going to miss these colors!!! The new ones look GREAT too!!! Can't wait until July 1st! Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great evening everyone!
