WordLess WeDnesday

SO I wanted something wonderful to give to grandpa for Father's Day . . . a regular card just would not do. I whipped this up late (very late) one evening while everyone was sleeping.

I was looking through all my boxes and bins of "stuff" and found some old brown envelopes. So I took three and glued the flaps together to make an accordion style card. I found some manly paper and just cut and glued to my heart's content. I found some wonderful father quotes off the internet and printed those out on some lovely paper. I printed some black and white photos of the children and glued these to some gorgeous paper as well. I embellished with ribbons and buttons and stickers and cardboard.
I love the result and will do this card again!

WOW! That card is stunning. I wish I was crafty and creative. I give my son some crayons and colored paper and that is what we give family members. I should probably put more effort into it. I figure they can't get upset since it is from their grandson/nephew. Take care.

Very nice! As for that recipe...I just used a mix and added some cinnamon, a bit of chili powder, used apple sauce instead of oil and added exchanged the Godiva for some of the water. Then I used a purchased frosting and mixed in a bit of the Godiva to zing it up a bit along with some more cinnamon and chili powder. They were YUMMY!!!!
