Just wanted to do a quick short post today to wish all my friends who are dads, a Happy Father’s Day!!
We are off today for brunch, my kids will be giving dad their Father’s Day card and a pirate’s hat. My son has been lately obsessed with pirates and this is the song he keeps chanting – “what’s the pirate’s password? YoHoHo!!”
Who knows where he heard it from … but YoHoHo … have a happy day!
This is the Father’s Day card my husband would be getting this year from his 11/2 yr old daughter and his 5 yr old son.
Making something in my craft room always relaxes me but this is a card that made me think.
Would any self-respecting man like to get this card?? Probably not. But would a dad like to get this card from his little girlie girl who thinks a card should wear a skirt – I know he would.
Then I contemplated even longer and harder whether I should post it on my blog AND submit it for a challenge – my reputation as a card maker/designer is at stake here if I put this out there and call it a masculine card. My kids are thrilled with this card, my husband would be tickled pink to receive it so why shouldn’t I be happy to give it to a man?
So I’m done thinking about this card and here is a shout out to all the craftswomen out there – who cares if your masculine card has some ribbon on it or a fancy flourish … Art should be fun and I love my fun, bordering on ridiculous looking, card.
Enjoy and have a Happy Father’s Day!

Papercrafting came into my life in 2006 after my son was born. He inspired me to create. The goal of my blog is to allow us to share and inspire each other with our art and for me to provide an update of sales events for my greeting card business, Arty Carty Handmade Cards
Thank you for visiting my blog and I’m truly excited to get to know you.
