A Birthday Card for My Dad

My dad's birthday is on March 1st, and I actually remembered to make him a card this year. For some reason, his birthday always sneaks up on me. Anyhoo, I made this card last weekend, but I still haven't mailed it, what with giving birth and being in hospital and everything, so it will be a bit late, but the thought is there, right?Supplies (all CTMH):...

Date Night

So last weekend Jason fell asleep not even a half hour into our date night. He's usually not that bad, and makes it to bed at least! I thought he looked kinda cute there, so I had to snap some pictures. A few minutes after I took them, he woke and said, "Did I fall asleep?" Uh, yeah! Basically, this layout came together pretty quickly, but I decided...
