MIM#154 Father's Day is coming up with Bugaboo

Well, it's Monday once more and time for a new linky party at Make It Monday. I hope your weekend was an enjoyable one. It's been quite cold, wet and windy here in Adelaide. The craft group I go to was cancelled on Saturday so a friend and I went to a craft shop instead. We got down there and found they didn't open till 11 a.m. so sat in the car in the warmth for 30 mins until they did. We stopped at a bakery on the way home and had a delicious pasty. They are one of the top manufacturing bakeries here and run a 24 hour cafe on their premises that is always busy. My youngest son has often told me he is going to meet friends in the early hours of the morning at Villi's, LOL.
I managed to get to church for the first time since before we went to Vietnam. Didn't get there in time to join the choir though as I didn't sleep well the night before due to my back still being a problem on and off and we were running late.
Okay enough chatter and onto the new linky party and I want to share my DT card with you as well.
Congrats go to Ziggy as our featured artist this week and also to Kim as the winning commenter. We had lots of wonderful entries to visit and I enjoyed seeing lots of different cards. I hope you managed to pop into some of the other entrants blogs and leave some comments. Don't forget we too on the DT love to hear from you so if your popping in, please leave us a comment.
This week we are being sponsored by a favourite digi maker, the fabulous Bugaboo Stamps. They are offering the winner a wonderful prize of 7 single digis!!!
So.... onto my card. I chose this image as it will be Father's Day coming up in a few weeks and this image looks just right although a friend of mine said if any of my kids wanted to give it to Dad I would have to draw a beard on him, LOL. I think I will give it to my grandchildren and they can give it to their Dad instead!

PSC182 - Daddy Reading

The challenge this week at The Perfect Sentiment is to make a card for Father's Day or a Special Man.
My dad passed away quite a few years ago and the relationship wasn't a very good one anyway, so even though mine refers to World's Best Dad, I thought it wouldn't be inappropriate to use this as a birthday card as well.
Our sponsor this week is Robyn's Fetish and the winner will receive 5 free digis.
Well here is my card.....

Recipe:
SU Early Espresso cardstock
SU Marina Mist cardstock
White card from stash
DP is from Authentique

Sentiment circle was a freebie from Limited Runs that I had saved a while back

Happy Father's Day - Classic Car

I'm back again! Tuesday is my day to visit Shirley and Doug and Fran and I make 3 fab cards that Shirley makes up for us. We always have a fun time together, lot's of laughter and chat, pats for the two dogs and Shirley makes us a cappaccino as well.
We also had a meal at a little eatery before heading back home and then I had to do a couple of loads of washing. It wasn't a good drying day today and it was too late to hang them on the line so back to using the clothes rack in front of the fire again!!!
I tidied the kitchen a bit and then found a bit of time to do some commenting on a few blogs. I made tea for us and then had to rush off to choir practice. We have a concert coming up at the end of the month so we only have a few practices left now.  I take a friend home and by the time I left her and got back here, it was rather late.
Thought I had better sit down and come up with a card for today and here is the end product.
The card is a top fold and I used diagonal panels to form a pocket for my tag.

Relax and have a cup of Coffee

Welcome, it's nice to "see" you, hope you are finding something here that interests you. I have a couple of new followers so a special "Welcome"  to you as well!
I babysat today and both the grandchildren were good as usual. Isaac played for a while, had some lunch and then had a sleep for a couple of hours so Mum just had to pick him up and pop him in his car seat. Layla enjoyed playing with the toys and watching some of the ABC kids programmes for a while.
I met with one of our daughter's bridesmaids at the bridal shop so we could actually order the bridal gown and put a deposit on it. Our daughter is working at a tourist village up North and will be away for 3 months so we needed to get the gown organised. She did try it on before she left and was trying to find it online to maybe save some money, but it didn't work out that way.
When I came home, hubby was out the front washing an old pushbike he had found. When he eventually came in and sat down to chat with our youngest son about the interview he had today, his phone rang. A truck had lost it's load, which was some sort of machinery, and he was called out to help get it back on. So, our meal got put off a couple of hours and he made a little bit more money for his wage packet this week.
Tea was yum!! We had Atlantic Salmon with mashed potatoes, Hollandaise sauce and vegies.
I watched the final of "The Voice" and was pleased that the young girl won. She has a very strong and unique voice.
Well I had better share my card, a Father's Day Card.
