My bits - Happy Tuesday! What a weekend with a celebration of a friend's son who graduated form law school and Father's Day with the grandkids. Isn't it a wonder to watch such amazing development right before your eyes. Learning to walk, copying what others doing and trying out new things over and over until they get it! Wow! They world has a lot to learn from watching babies explore!

My piece - I love to make cards. Here is one I made for Father's Day.
















 Super simple.


1. Gather
• card stock - 10 x 7 to fold to a 5 x 7 card
• scrapbook paper cut for background - 5 x 7 it's great to find paper with squares to diamonds to go against the circles - or paper that matches the colors of the circles
• scrapbook paper scraps and circle punches of various sizes
• glue stick or double stick tape
• pop up dots

2. Cut
• card stock to 10 x 7 if it is not already that size - fold to 5 x 7 card
• background scrapbook paper 5 x 7
• punch various size circles out of different colors of paper

3. Glue
• 5 x 7 background paper onto front of card - decide if you want card to open up to the top or to the side
• place circles on paper until you like the design.
• decide which ones you want have "pop up"
• glue or tape down circles onto paper
• use pop up dots of squares on the circles you want to pop up. You can use double of you really want the circle to pop up of want several layers of circles

4. Finish
• Write a message inside, sign and date the back and you are finished. The hardest part is deciding the paper to use for the background and dots. Of course you can change punch design, color of paper, etc. to match any occasion! Have fun!
