Happy Birthday

Hi ya'll!

After working tons of hours last week, I was actually able to play with my toys, at work.  I took it with me because I knew I'd be there until who knew when, and didn't want to get bored sitting around.  I'm posting this card, because it's a masculine card that I actually like.  Check it!

I'm sure by now, you know how I struggle with masculine cards.  They're always SO difficult for me.  This one is a bit "metro", but I still like it.  I doubt my coworker will complain, he reminded me twice last month that his birthday was today. lol  I've kinda used last weeks ColorQ (#96) for my color scheme and am digging the results.

That's all for me! 
Hugs!

Christmas Card Challenge Week #36

Hi ya'll!!

This is going to be a short post for me today.  I've worked from 6am to 11pm, everyday, since Tuesday.  I'm completely exhausted, and headed back to bed.  I have another Christmas Card challenge for you.  This week we're recycling.  For this weeks challenge, click HERE.

Can you tell where I tookt his picture?  Yep, out on the steps behind our warehouse, at work.  Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes, eh? lol  So, I loved this challenge.  I had a hard time coming up with something though.  For my recycled part, I used the backing off of some dimensionals that I used up.  I ran them through my Cuttlebug with my Snowflake dies from MFT.  It's a cute card, and I loved this weeks Sweet Stop Sketch (#120).  I also used this weeks Color Throwdown (#153).  All in all, it turned out well, and I have another card to add to my stash.  How many do you have done this year? :)

Please keep in mind that the challenges are optional.  Any Christmas/Winter/Holiday card will do.  You don't have to use a Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamp on your card, but we sure love it when you do.  I hope you'll head over to see what the lovely design team, and our new guest designer have created for you today.  They're all really nice, as usual.

Hugs!

For Your Inspiration Challenge #11

Hi everyone!

I have been so stupidly busy that I keep forgetting to post about the For Your Inspiration challenges lately.  We're on challenge #11 already, and I don't think I've mentioned them since challenge #3.  I guess that's what happens when you live at work. lol

Below is the inspiration photo I chose for Challenge #11.

I absolutely LOVE this photo!!  I find it breathtaking.  There's a small spot where the sun seems to be "spotlighting" part of the ruins.  And look at how still and peaceful the water is.  It's like a mirror.  Just gorgeous!

I do hope you'll head over to the FYI blog to check out what my Lovely Lotuses have created, using this photo.  The challenge is open until August 17th.  We'd love it if you joined us.

Have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
