My card today is a Father's Day card.  I'm a "daddy's girl" and you'd think that would make it easier to create a card, but I hit a wall with this one.  I finally called in my super-creative and talented photographer husband, Matt, to help me.   He helped me pick a stamp and a color scheme that was a little more masculine.  Thanks, honey!  We'll be making this card at my next PMS Night (Pizza, Music and Stampin')
