Big Day Masculine Card

Hello from North Carolina. Just stopping by today to post a card that used the card sketch from Just Add Ink challenge. Unfrotunatly, I did miss the deadline, although I had the card completed yesterday. But, I was in need of another masculine card and I just loved the simplicity of the sketch they provided.

I'm continuing to use the Party Animal DSP a little at a time. I really love the bright colors in this paper. The products are all SU with the stamp set being from an older Sale-A-Bration. The base of the card is Emerald Envy and the sentiment was stamped in the same color.

Today is a little on the dreary side today. We have had quite a bit of rain and grey skies.  I was going to do some cleaning, but decided to stamp instead! Can anyone relate? :>}

Have a wonderful day and go do something you LOVE!

LIVE SIMPLY,

Masculine Birthday Card/ MOJO Monday435

Honestly, I am doing the HAPPY DANCE with the posting of this card! 

 Last week was one of those, I'm glad it's over, type of weeks.  My husband and I both came down with the awful stomach virus. UGH! My symptoms started late Sunday night and it was full blown by early Monday morning. I couldn't eat for 3 days and I think I sleep 48 hours total. I had no energy and no appetite. I had to get myself a little together on Wednesday. A couple had requested a house showing. I pushed through and got things straightened up for that to happen. 

By Wednesday evening Steve was in the throws of it, literally. He was feeling somewhat better on Saturday, which was a good thing. We had a OPEN HOUSE scheduled from 12 until 3 that day and we did manage to get things in order for the showing. Sunday was our usual day involved with our church. We came home on Sunday evening very thankful that the Lord got us through the week.

Saying all that, I didn't have one bit of mojo in me to want create anything. I certainly had ideas floating around in my head, but that's where they stayed. I tried to play around with stamps and paper on Monday, but that ended with LOTS of paper scraps in my trash bin. Today I was determined to use the MOJO435 sketch and get a masculine card made. Eureka, I did it!!!

I did not make the panels as wide or layer them.  The background paper was what I desired to showcase. This is the retired SU DSP, Birthday Bash and happens to my all time favorite as far as birthday paper. Believe me, I use it sparingly. 

That's about it for today's post. Sorry it was a little wordy. I hope you had a wonderful Wednesday so  far and were able to do something CRAFTY! 

Crafty Hugs,

Good Morning everyone or afternoon if your not on the West coast! I hope your day has been all that you hoped it would be so far.  I intended to have this card and post up yesterday after noon, but time got away from  me.

We had another house showing and I needed to make sure everything was neat and tidy.  I'll be so happy when we have a Sale Pending sign out. I'm sure some of you have gone through this and know how stressful it can be some days.  We did have a couple who really loved the place, but unfortunately, could not get financing. I really felt sad for them, but hopefully they will find another house within their budget.

Here is a quick Birthday Card that I created using the MOJO Monday433 sketch. This card will be going out to my DIL in Maine for her birthday in March. I used SU's Birthday Bouquet DSP and an older Sale-A-Bration stamp set, Big Day.  I embossed the Blushing Bride piece using the Hearts folder (ret) and cut the small hearts from the framelits, Hearts a Flutter (ret) and added some small Mossy Meadow buttons.

That's it for today. I'm off to whip up a card or two. Have a wonderful day and stay CRAFTY!

 Here is annother Masculine card using the MOJO 415 sketch.

 All the papers and pieces were left over from yesterday's card. 

I love when I can utilize "scraps", don't you? 

I have some other card pieces laid out on my work table at the moment. I hope to create another Masculine card before the weekend. My goal was 4 total. We'll see if that is actually going to take place!

Have a wonderful day and I hope you can do something CRAFTY!

Gorgeous Grundge Birthday

I was able to get this card created on Saturday for my oldest sons birthday next week. I even mailed it. Yeah me!!!

I saw this design and colors over on  Pinterest by, Stamp with Rachel, and really liked it. I did change it up some to fit my interpertation.

We have been celebrating my husbands birthday this weekend. We attended a wonderful night of  Worship at our church, Coastline, on Friday evening, a party at the winery we are members of on Saturday evening, and Sunday after church, we had a delicious breakfast at  Stratford at the Harbor in Oceanside, CA.  Tonight we will serve at the 5 pm church service, come home and have a slice of  WONDERFUL pie. A wonderful ending to a wonderful Birthday weekend.
