Owl clean up later

The craft table is a mess but whenever I start tidying I end up making a card with the scraps.  It's a really bad habit.  Instead, I thought I'd clean up some of the images in my camera, 

like this Owl card

 Imagine That! digi image printed in grayscale, colored with markers, fussy cut and popped onto a Spellbinder's die cut, CTMH sentiment stamp and papers.

and this Dad card.

 House Mouse stamp with hat, ball and glove paper pieced.

For Dad Fishing Card

I seem to be "hooked" on making cards For Dad right now.  They are for my cousin's Dad's birthday and I like to give her a small selection.  And, I have a feeling, her brother will use one, too.

This fabulous fishing themed paper was in my stash.

I cased the design of the card from one I saw on Pinterest.  Considering I couldn't find a tutorial for measurements, I think it got pretty good.  

The tag is a die cut from Paper Sweeties.  Before distressing, I stamped around the edges with a SU fish hook stamp and added the For You, Dad from the same SU set. 
 

This is the second pocket I made and is just a quarter inch wider than the first one.  With that little bit of extra width and by adhering it to the shirt with 1/8" red line tape on the edges of both sides and the bottom, the pocket will hold a gift card, while the tag slips through the piece across the top.

Thanks for visiting.
