Pink Stamper Father's Day Challenge

The Pink Stamper is having a challenge and giveaway. The challenge is to make a Father's Day Project and post it, then you will be entered in the giveaway! She is giving away a CRICUT EXPRESSION!!

For my project I chose to make a card for my dad. I had to think hard for this one because I didn't want to make my dad a generic themed card, ya know?! I wanted it to be special and unique to him. I finally thought of a great idea! My dad has nicknames for me and my siblings, we've had them forever! My nickname is "mouse" because I am quiet (well I was when I got the nickname!!). My sister is "turtle" because she was slow (like a turtle) and my brother's is "bug" because he was small, or because he is buggy, not quite sure on that one (just teasing!)!
I used the Create-a-Critter cartridge for my animals (aren't they cute?!). I wanted a simple card, because that's my dad, straight to the point! So I didn't embellish too much! I used a EK Success border punch for the bottom edge, but that's it. I printed the words using my laser printer with cardstock. I like how the laser printer prints letters so crisp.  Here is the inside:

Again, I used the EK Success border punch so give it a bit of embellishment but not too much!  I can't wait to give him the card, I think he is going to enjoy it a lot!
