Manly Moments? Can you believe I am doing another masculine blog hop? I can't! LOL! These have been the hardest projects for me to design, but I think I'm getting it!!
I love the simplicity of this month's Paper Pumpkin-- it gives us the chance to dress it up or down, depending on our man! I wanted to make my husband a card that reminded him of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
We have been vacationing in Colorado since we were dating and one of our favorite pictures of all times hangs in our bedroom...

Nothing can quite capture the majesty of this photo but... I wanted Jonathan to know how much I love him, this Father's Day, and always. (P.S. He is doing well after his Adrenal Vein Sampling procedure last week. Now we are just waiting on the results to see if they need to remove on of his adrenal glands. Crazy stuff.)
I took out the water sticker and then added some stamped images from the Waterfront Stamp Set and used a ton of new colors. The sun and dappled sunlight are in the new color Mango Melody and the clouds are in Gray Granite. The trees I added to the bottom are in Mossy Meadow!

For my 3D project I wanted to take one of the pretty Mint Macaron envelopes (with the gorgeous wood lining) and make a bag from it. You just seal the envelope and trim one end off. Then you score the three other sealed edges at 3/4 inch. Then take the bottom flaps and glue them down with some glue dots.
I was excited to make a little gift bag for my father-in-law who is turning 70 this month!!! EEEEKKKK! (Luckily, he doesn't follow my blog so he won't see this project before I have a chance to give it to him...)

I used the inside of another envelope to make this cover piece and the Number framelits to cut out the silver-foil numbers! These are retiring, so if you want them- get them ASAP!
I hope you enjoyed my extra projects this month and make sure to keep hopping along to see what everyone else has made!
Happy crafting,
