May Calendar Girls

Our May Calendar Girls challenge from April was as follows:

"Well, it is May and I always like to honor my father this month.
So, to celebrate him (and fathers every where) let us make a masculine celebratory card with any SCS sketch that ends in 25 (the year he was born).
Please let us know which sketch you used and a memory of a special man in your life!"

I used sketch 125 and I also used my new Paper Pumpkin kit from SU!  I made a card that I will use for one of my two sons at some point.  They are both incredible guys!!

Here's my masculine card:

Dueling Darlings May Challenge

The Dueling Darlings May Challenge was hosted by Paola for the Dazzlers and Judy for the Divas.

The theme was:  Music and we were instructed as follows:

If you could dedicate a song to someone in your life ,
what would your song choice be, and to whom will you dedicate it and why? 

Paola treated us to a wonderful kit of goodies which included:
