Masculine Birthday Card (That I Like!)

Greetings again folks!

I'm back today with a card that I am becoming very fond of, and can you believe it, it's a masculine card!  I know, I know.  I always say how I struggle with them, and only post about 1 out of every 4 or 5 that I make.  I just don't do well with masculine. *sigh*  Fortunately for me, I had a scrap from another project laying around, and I put it to good use.  Check it!

A dear friend of mine is celebrating his birthday and this is what I am sending him.  It's simple, and lovely, and masculine all at the same time.  I think I might have to incorporate more distress inks into my masculine projects from now on.  I think they go really well with the masculine themed projects.  I've combined the following challenges into this card:

Paper Sundaes #88 - Anything Goes
Ribbon Reel Challenge #11 - Birthday, inspiration photo, must use ribbon, lace or twine. (I made mine masculine)
Simon Says Stamp & Show - Men Only
Stamps R Us - Birthday

That's it for me today.  Back soon with some exciting news, hopefully, and more crafty stuff.
Hugs!

Thank You

Hi everyone!

I hope you had a good weekend, and are having a decent start to your week.  I was so excited to get some crafty stuff done this weekend, I can't even tell you! lol  It's interesting how badly you miss being able to use your hands.  Anyway, I made this card for a dear friend.

This has got to be the most CAS card I have ever created.  I absolutely love how it turned out.  There is something beautiful in the simplicity.  I hope she likes it.  I've combined the following challenges for this card:

Speedy The Cat's Friends Challenge #74 - Things With Wings
Corrosive Challenge #133 - Punches or Dies (my butterflies are from a MS punch)
CAS-ual Fridays CFC21 - Monochromatic plus brown
Raise The Bar #76 - Things With Wings

I'm off to work.  Back soon with another something.
Hugs! 

Christmas Card Challenge Week #43

Hi ya'll!

I'm sorry that I don't have a Christmas card for you again this week.  I had a follow up for my wrist on Wednesday where they determined I have tendonitis and not carpal tunnel, which is good.  Unfortunately, with work being crazy with end of month stuff, and the doc not releasing me until Wednesday, I didn't get the chance to put anything together.  I will be back later in the week with something, and for sure next Sunday with my next Christmas card. 

This weeks challenge is pretty fun though, handmade flowers. 

I do hope that you'll head over to the Christmas Card challenge blog to see what the other lovely ladies have created for you today.  :)

Hugs!
