Guy Cards

I haven't made guy cards lately so last night I quickly whipped these up.  The paper I got at a scrapbook swap I had last week.

 

 

You can hardly see them, but there are Square Studs on the second and third cards.

The stamps I used are both retired sets from CTMH.

 

Now my sister doesn't have to be disappointed in my guy card supply for a while:)

 

Happy Spring, Everyone!

 

So, once again, it's been awhile since I've posted.  I'm sorry.  And, on top of that I seem to like sharing with you paper that's been retired!

I don't know what's going on with me!  Oh-yeah- I do...I like to hoard my new paper until it's retired and then I haul it out and use it!  Not good for sales, but there you have it.

I have two cards to share with you today.  They both use the Cruisin' Paper Pack (which is retired, of course).

These also use burlap string and jute from I don't know where and Round Durable Studs and buttons from CTMH.

I also have a couple more which I may have already shared with you, but here you go:

Same retired paper pack again, twine, stamps and cardboard pieces from CTMH, random jute and button.

Thanks for looking:)

Soccer Birthday

Good Day!  We have 4 birthdays in 5 weeks here at our house, so we have parties coming out of our ears!  Does that even make sense?!?  Let's just say that with 3 down and 1 to go, I've just about had enough parties to last until March.  And I don't even want to think about that one because that means my baby will be one (the Lord willing).  Wow!  Man time flies!

Anyways, our son just turned 6 the other day and since he loves soccer and the colors green, blue and orange, here's the card I made for him:

It's my take on the Mojo Monday 270 challenge sketch.  I used paper from the Scholastic Paper Pack from Close to my Heart.  The soccer ball and "Game On" are from the Game On stampset.  The stars are cut using the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge  and the burlap string I found at Winners.

I like to make the kids' birthday cakes according to what their interests are, so of course, I had to make soccer cupcakes for him.  The soccer balls are rubber bouncers from WalMart.  All the kids were thrilled to take them home at the end of the day:)

 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

MojoMonday 266

Hello, there!  It's another beautiful day here in BC.  It's also challenge week over at MojoMonday.

This week's sketch is a very nice one:

And here is my take on it:

I used the Superhero paper from CTMH as well as a button and black hemp.  The "happy birthday" is from a retired set- one that I quite often reach for when making cards.  I cut the star using the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge, also from CTMH.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

MojoMonday-245

Good Morning, everyone!  Hope your day looks bright and cheery!  I have for you today not one, but two takes on Mojo Monday's sketch #245. 

Here's the sketch:



Here's take one:

this card is going to my husband for Father's Day, I think.  First of all, I turned the sketch upright.  I used paper from the Cruisin' pack and an old retired stamp set from CTMH called Just Like You.   I added some Durables-Round Studs and some random ribbon and-voila!  Super easy!


And for something totally different, here's take two:

What a different look, eh?  This one is for my kids' bus driver- it's her birthday today.  I used London Market paper and black cardstock.  The sentiment is from Verve. ( I really like their stamps)  I added some flowers that I bought at www.scrapbook.com.  The Licorice Opaques Pearls and the little pink flower are from CTMH.

I love how you can take one sketch and make two completely different-looking cards with it!

Thanks for looking and have a great day:)
