And Many Mower

What the heck, this isn't a holiday card??!  No, I know.  But I was in need of some "guy" cards to make and this is what I came up with.  Why the heck are guy cards so hard to make?  I think it's because of the no frills and such.  You don't want to jazz up a guy card with frilly, flowery stuff.  Oh well, here they are...

This card was made with the SU set Any Many Mower.  I stamped the image and colored it in with my pencils and gamsol.  I used my markers here and there to add some more color.  The base card is Garden Green that I layered with some Really Rust and some DP that I've had for YEARS from Provo Craft.  I know, I know... fish all day paper and this is golf?  I just liked the paper, it was manly...  I simply followed the card sketch from Splitcoast SCS225 and the card was done.  Very simple...

Again I used the SU set And Many Mower and colored it in with my pencils and gamsol with markers here and there.  The base card is Night of Navy that I layered with Really Rust and some DP from Provo Craft Americana collection.  I used my Designer Label Punch, Modern Label Punch & Word Window punch for the sentiment.  Once again Splitcoast came to my rescue and I used their sketch SC221. 

So that's what I have today for you.  Short and simple.  But I hope that it inspires you somewhat to make something.  The day is so pretty I want to go outside and read ~ but I know that I should be crafting.

Have a great one!!

Happy Thursday

Howdy everyone, sorry for the delay. I knew that this week would be a weird posting one. With hubby home we've been kinda on the go ~ and yesterday we went into town to a doctor for Danielle. She's fine - but this doctor was in Lexington. It was the first time that we've ventured "into" the heart of Lexington.


We are talking one way streets and traffic. Defiantly not what the have here in town! We have to go back again next week for a follow up. Everything is fine though.


Today I wanted to show you a card that I made for a friend who's birthday is coming up. Since I am in love with cupcakes I had to make this one. I hope that you like it! I used an older sketch from SCS ~ it was sketch SC225


For this card I used a few of my favorites. The base card is Chocolate Chip that I layered with Pink Pirouette and some DP from Close to My Heart. The pink polka dotted paper did not list a maker on it, sorry.

I stamped the image from My Favorite Things and colored it in with my pencils and gamsol. I then sponged some Chocolate Chip ink around the edges and layered it on to a piece of Chocolate Chip cs. Before attaching it to the front card panel I punched a couple of holes in the upper left and attached some ribbon scraps I had and the brads. The inside I used my "old faithful" birthday stamp that I've had FOREVER from D.O.T.S. in Pink Passion ink. I seem to use that on most of my birthday cards, I just love that stamp~as you can see *Ü*


I hope that she likes it!


That's all I've got for now. I hope to get into my craft room soon and create something.


Have a super duper day!
