Greatest Dad Wooden Star Card Father's Day

There are 17 hrs left to enter and play along for prizes. Click here for the blog hop and challenge details!

How did father's day go this year? Midnight is closing in quickly and I wanted to get in one last card that I made last night. 

This Dad card features a wooden star that I painted and then covered in Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. Do you see the way it shines? It also gives it more strength...as if I needed more for a piece of wood on a card. lol

This is "Wishing you a Happy Father's Day!" in Chinese. Did you know that you read this from right to left, top to bottom? It's the complete opposite of English sentence layouts. We open a book by flipping pages to the left, but Chinese books are opened from left to right (in other words, the cover is where the back normally is for American books). I am told that Hebrew follows the same rules for opening a book, is this correct?

Another week coming up!

Happy Mother's Day! Yellow Quilled Tulips Bouquet

Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day! That's what it says in Chinese! Thank you to my best friend, Jen, for translating it and to Alex for commissioning! I've never done anything with actual Chinese characters, so I'm pretty proud of it. :) 

Well here's the mother's day card for Alex that I made. I borrowed the tulips from a previous card I made and put it on top of a simple layout.

 I sprayed it with glitter too! It is stunning in person!

The yellow handmade envelope that goes with it.

This year my mom is in Maine taking care of my grandma, so we aren't doing anything for Mother's Day. Instead, we chatted over the phone. :)

This whole weekend has been super HOT, so my bf and I are going for a long walk to get frozen yogurt in a little bit--it's to make us work for the extra calories. :D Yesterday we had bagels in the park overlooking the East side Manhattan skyline which is 2 blocks from us. It has been a very enjoyable weekend (I'm a very simple girl to please). lol

Good day to all the mamas out there!
