Happy Fathers Day!

We have just been to a church service/ cub parade for Father's Day. It was held on the green outside the church and was great fun, but a bit cold!
We started off the day with coffee and warm croissants all made for 'Dad' and cards and presents too. Both children made their own wonderful cards this year and decided on the designs completely independently....
DD went with a footie/England theme
and DS went with the more than merrier approach when it came to stickers!

I made a card for my dad and hopefully it will have reached him by now, I followed the great sketch from stampin with the dragon challenge blog and the stamp is a charity digi image that I bought after reading the story here. He's called 'relaxing Ronnie' and I thought he was a perfect image for a male card and reminded me of my dad!


I used a new MS punch, my largest scalloped circle nestie, I coloured with promarkers (I am such a beginner with this but hopefully will get better... they are still on offer in Hobbycraft in packs of 5 for less than £5!) and used a couple of stickers from my stash (I think they are PM).

I would like to enter into the following challenges:-

Stampin with the Dragon sketch challenge

Creative Inspirations one for the boys

Magical Crafts something for Father's Day

Fab n Funky just for Dad

Cards for Men Fathers Day

DaisyDoodles Fathers Day

Incy Wincy Designs one for the guys

Crafty card makers cards for men

Cupcake Craft Challenges one for the boys

Creative Craft for the men in your life

Pear Tree Designs Fathers Day

I may be too late to enter some of these challenges as I found them all a few days ago and thought I would try and enter them all as I finally got round to making a card!

Wishing all the Fathers everywhere a wonderful day wherever you are and whatever you do xxx

    Love the pig, he's so cute!
    You asked about a poppy stamp on my blog - well its from A Stamp in the Hand and it's called Tall Poppies. I got it a couple of years ago though, so I don't know if it's still available.
