Seize the Birthday Keyword: STB #8 Masculine

Paper - Paper Loft, SU! (kraft)

Stamps - Rubbernecker

Verbiage - Our Craft Lounge

On my blog there is a STB#7 entry, BUT I submitted it and then I did not see it was past the deadline.

What that means is I have learned another lesson in my quest to successfully post a blog.  I like that STB challenges require masculine cards as I have many female cards.  My blog does not show that I make numerous cards a month to donate.  The reason the blog doesn't list it is because I don't know how to make the changes.  That being said besides making cards for OWH I now contribute to Cards for Hospitalized Kids and Card Care Connection.  This particular card I would make with different verbiage such as Thinking of You and it would be perfect for Card Care Connection.  That is it for today, two male cards posted.

Freshly Made Sketches #75

Paper Loft paper, brads JoAnn's, verbiage SU!

I love this sketch layout and I think it is great for both clean and simple and masculine cards.  I love to color but I am trying to stretch my creative boundaries.

OWH Midweek Throwdown Challenge

This week's challenge is Recipe Mix using an embossing folder, a die cut, two patterned papers, twine or ribbon.
Paper - Paper Loft, SU!
Embossing Folder - Cuttlebug Daisies (from a combo set)
Die - MFT Perfect Petal Trio
Twine - Queens

CASology Week 33: Circle

This is a good use of SU! scrap paper.  The Cuttlebug folders are Swiss Dots and Tiny Mosaics.  The die cuts are Nestabilities Ice Cream Cone and Circles.

Seize the Birthday STB #7

• Stamp set is a very old SU! titled Provencal.  The die cut is Nestabilities Labels Nine.  The remaining materials are SU!  The verbiage I found on the internet and it does mean happy birthday.  I must say it took longer to find the spelling almost as long as it took to make the card.

Buttons & Bows for Baby - CAS Challenge #133

All supplies are SU!  The stamp was disassembled from a stampin wheel, which I saw on an unknown blog.  The diecut is My Favorite Things Buttons Quartet.  Colors used are tempting turquoise and so saffron.

CASology Week 31: RED

Paper Lasting Impressions, Cuttlebug Folder - Hearts

This is clean and simple for me.  The embossed paper was sanded.

Happy sweetheart's day.
