FIF Challenge & CPS Challenge...

Good morning everyone!  I hope everyone had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!  I know I had fun!  I got to spend more time with my husband in 3 days then I did all week!  So it was good for me.  Saturday he had to work, but I got to hang out with him at his office while he did.  Sunday he had off work and we hung out by the pool for a bit.  Monday he had to work, but it was a short day for him.  All in all it was a good weekend! 

Yesterday I managed to get 2 cards done for challenges!  I was super excited!  I feel like I haven't done anything in forever.  Last week was NUTS for me, but things should be getting back to normal work-wise.  I'm starting a new shift, so I have mornings off and can get some things done.  I don't know how long it will last, but I think I might like going in at 1230pm and getting off at 6pm.  We'll see...

Anyway....onto the cards.  Both of them are for fathers day, but this first one is for the Flaunt It Fridays Challenge.  The only rule was to use the Robotz cartridge.  I was super excited about this one, bc I have been dying to use this cartridge.  I have used it for font, but not the cute lil robots.  So here is what I came up with....

I'm finding it a little difficult to match up the shaped cards "perfectly."  For this card, I added a white layer on the inside so you can write in it.  It's showing more then I would like.  Any advice on that is welcome!
