Golf Card

With Father's day coming soon, I thought I would start posting some Men's cards that I have made...Hoping it could help give ideas to someone for cards...This card is one I made for my step-brother for his birthday. I guess you can guess what his favorite hobby is...

"Fatherhood is pretending the present you love the most is soap-on-a-rope."~Bill Cosby

Dogwood Card

The Legend of the Dogwood

In Jesus time, the dogwood grew

To a stately size and a lovely hue.

"Twas strong and firm, it's branches interwoven

For the cross of Christ it's timbers were chosen.

Seeing the distress at this use of their wood

Christ made a promise which still holds good:

"Never again shall the dogwood grow

Large enough to be used so.

Slender and twisted, it shall be

with blossoms like the cross for all to see.

As blood stains the petals marked in brown

The blossom's center wears a thorny crown.

All who see it will remember Me

Crucified on a cross from the dogwood tree.

Cherished and protected this tree shall be

A reminder to all of My agony."

I enjoy playing games, On line and off line, I do crossword puzzles, and sudoku. I must admit, that I do NOT do the expert puzzles! But I still have fun doing them, and even though I do the easier puzzles, I hope it's still exercise for my brain.

I also enjoy playing board games, Balderdash is a favorite, followed by scrabble.

I enjoy playing on line jigsaw puzzles at the site below...

I like to do sudoku, and often play an online game of sudoku at the link below.

Yes, More roses. I told you I make a lot of cards with roses on them! So I guess it will be my theme for a few days...

Rose Tunnel Card

I can't believe it's June already! The flower for June is the rose, which is my favorite flower. I have made a lot of cards using the rose image so I may be posting several rose cards this month. The birthstone for June is the pearl.

I gave the card that I'm posting today, to my daughter for her birthday. It's a tunnel card, and I made the card using the instructions that I found here....
