Happy Father's Day with micheLADA love!

The top two photos are of the gift set I made for Kenny for Father's Day.  He's a beer drinker and I thought this would be kinda fun.  I altered a drink carrier from Jack In The Box by stamping it at random with a beer mug stamp (Stampin' Up), a citrus stamp (Stampin' Up), another stamp that says "Oh Boy...this is good beer" (don't remember where I got this one), and a stamp that states "Glad Your My Dad" (also from SU!).  I also used these same stamps for the tissue paper.  The two limes in the front are from my Just Because Cricut cartridge.  I inked all edges of the carrier and tied some ribbon through the handle.  Filled it with a bottle of Clamato juice and a 40 oz. bottle of Budweiser plus two limes.  For those of you who don't know, mix these together and you get a Michelada.  Some people like to add some Tobasco sauce, but I know that Kenny doesn't so I didn't include it.  This is like a Bloody Mary but with beer instead of vodka (??)  Kenny loved it and enjoyed it later in the afternoon.
