It’s Father’s Day, and I made cards for three of the “very best” dads I know: my husband, my son, and my son-in-law. All three of them spend as much time with their kids as they can, have great relationships with their children, and are loving, caring parents. The best there is, truly.
I started with Avery Elle’s sentiment set, “Handwritten Notes,” and then add “DAD” die cut and stamped with Papertrey’s “Headline” alphabet. I die cut the sentiment with a Simon Says “Stitched Circle” die and mounted it on a piece of black cardstock that I scored three times on the top and the bottom.
We had a nice Face Time chat with Adam, Sarah, and Caleb, and we spent some time with Matt and his family this morning after church. Betsy’s niece is an accomplished Irish dancer and her troupe was performing at the Brighton Farmer’s Market. Ella was entranced.
I love this photo of Nadia with her gorgeous hair flying behind her as she danced. The fast foot work is amazing!
It was almost 90° at noon when they were dancing so they stayed as close to the shade as they could.
This ought to be my Memorandum Monday post (my first Irish dancing performance, but surely not my last!), but by then Father’s Day will be over. We’re actually celebrating Father’s Day again tomorrow with a combined Father’s Day and Graduation party at Betsy’s father’s house. Hope you’ve had a great weekend!
Their lively energy and swirling hair on a dull wet morning here is most inspiring – how lovely to see such skill in action. Mind you, your own is well in evidence too :).
Oh I do like watching & listening to the Irish & Scottish dancers – such energy especially on such a hot humid day, ah youth. Happy Summer.
Gosh: Irish Dancers in Ireland don’t have to cope with the heat very often! Ah, the energy of the young, eh?
So fun to visit you and see your lovely photos, Karen. Love the photo of your sweet Ella watching the dancers. Oh what I wouldn’t give for 90 degree weather right now… Lol. Have a great week! xo
A very energetic looking troupe and gosh I have hair envy. Nadia – what a mane!
What gorgeous tresses. And I bet the dancing was awesome…as were the Dad’s Day cards. Nicely done my friend.
Cheers~
Looks like it was a great Father’s Day!
