Masculine Card Thank You #2 / Blog Candy Winner

Today as I was cleaning off my desk, I came across some bits and pieces left over from when I was creating a card for the 3 challenges I had entered on Wednesday. I had the card base, had added a strip of Cajun Craze to the embossed piece, and had the Thank You  which I had also decided against using.

I was just going to file them away for another time, but thought why not see if I could put a card together.  BINGO, I was able to create another Masculine Thank You in less then 20 minutes! Don't you just love when that happens? This one also has a nautical theme, but I used the By the Sea shell stamp from this set and keep it to just a two color combination. Since the SUO challenge is still in effect, I will be entering it there for my last post of the week.

Speaking of posts, I have a winner of my 500th. post by a random drawing. 

The winner of the BLOG CANDY is

Masculine Thank You

Today I decided to play along with 3 challenges.  I'm not sure if I have done that before, butI guess there is a first time for everything.

The SUO challenge was pretty straight forward, creating a Thank You card, the sketch over on Freshly Made Sketches was easy to follow, but the color challenge over on Color Throwdown, well lets just say, that was a challenge for me. I worked with several similar combinations and my final decision were Smokey Slate, Tempting Turquoise, and Cajun Craze. I occasionally need a masculine Thank You and I felt the colors and the sketch worked well for that.

That's about it for the evening. My husband would like to eat, so I better get supper started and STOP playing with ink and paper!

Have a good evening my friends and go do something CRAFTY!

Mojo Monday/ 500th. Post

Yes, today is the day. My 500th. post! I hope you choose to follow me and leave a comment to have a chance to receive the gift I posted on yesterday by a random drawing.

For my card today I  chose to play along with MOJO # 421 Tall and Skinny challenge.  I seem to be getting a little more comfortable with the tall and skinny layouts and sizing of the sentiments to fit the space.

The stamp set, All Ye Faithful, I  just received in my SU order on Monday.  It was ordered during their 15% sale and I was planning to use only the sentiments, but when I saw the image, I chose to use it for today's card.

The image was stamped with Lost Lagoon ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder. By doing that, it gave the image subtle dimension which I feel added some interest.

Side View

Inside

I haven't decided what sentiment to use to finish of the inside, although I did add some matching paper from the front panel of the card.

I hope you make your Tuesday a great one and do something CRAFTY my friends! I'll be picking a random winner on Saturday. Come back then to see if your the winner!

Crafty Hugs,

1Cor.16:14 / PP#268/Word Art Wednesday

Just a quick card I put together yesterday using the Paper Players sketch#268 and entering on the Word Art Wednesday site. I did encounter a tad bit of difficulty with lining up the layers, but I stuck to it and feel I had success.

I just recently starting using Wordart by Karen scripture word art again. She provides this word art free. What a blessing she is. If you get a chance, why not stop by her site to see what she offers and leave some love.

Today is my 449th. post and tomorrow I'll be posting my 500th.! I will be giving a special gift randomly to ONE lucky gal or guy if you follow me and leave a comment. You can read about it here:  http://sweetpaperbliss.blogspot.com/2015/10/announcement.html
