Uniquely Creative Drive and Fly Father's Day Card

 

Hi everyone 😀

Today I am sharing a Father's Day Card that I made for my husband using the fabulous Uniquely Creative Drive and Fly Collection which was released back in August 2021:

In Australia, we celebrate Father's Day on the 1st Sunday in September so it was last Sunday.  We had a lovely and quiet day just enjoying the time together as a family.  Both our fathers passed away a very long time ago - so it is also a day of reflection for us.  I cooked a fruit cake (my husband LOVES fruit cake) and also had a roast for dinner which all went down a treat!

For my card, I followed the sample by Joanne Herbert in the Drive and Fly Creative Kit Club magazine and just added some Stampin' Up Rustic Metallic dots which matched the colour of the plane.

I really love this Uniquely Creative Drive and Fly range and it has been perfect for making masculine cards.  So glad that I picked up extras of the range as it is really hard to get now.

Before I go, I thought I would share a photo of our rescue cat Freya who is now a little over a year old:

Freya is the most ADORABLE cat and super-cuddly and affectionate.  She continues to gobble her food down like she still doesn't realise that she WILL absolutely get fed twice a day - so we do wonder what her circumstances were when she was rescued by the RSPCA when she was 7-1/2 months old - and the lady at the Cat Protection Society told me the other day that that behaviour may stay with her and would have stemmed from not knowing where her next meal was coming from and needing to eat quickly before another animal ate it.  

Other than that, Freya is just the sweetest little thing and has such a gentle personality and I am so glad that we adopted her.   Our home seemed so empty after Ruby passed away - and your heart just aches to give another unwanted cat a furever home.  Freya was wonderful company for me back in January when I got COVID and barely moved off the bed for 6 weeks.  When I was in isolation from the rest of the household for nearly 2 weeks, it was so comforting to have a cat to cuddle and sleep with me.  I am still recovering from COVID and have ongoing exhaustion/fatigue and trouble thinking/remembering so it has been more than a little frustrating!  Hopefully, I will improve soon!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today.
