Guy Happy Birthday

I had a chance to work on a card today after doing some sorting and organizing of my paper crafting accumulation. Unfortunately, I still have quite a bit to still do.But I degrees... Onto the card.

This sketch intrigued me by Paper Craft Crew and I had several designs rolling around in my head. Since I always need guy cards, I decided on the SU True Gentleman DSP as the background paper. With the help of my Cricut Explore Air and Design Space, I was able to cut a pipe to adhere to the card for extra interest and follow the sketches design.

Friendship

Today I was able to create a card for the The Paper Players PP381 challenge. I looked over some of my older stamps and came across this older PTI Quilter's Sampler Set. I knew immediately it would be perfect for the challenge.  It was fairly simple to put together, but the hardest part for me was the layout.  I looked through some of the sketches by Julee Tilman and was happy to find one that I felt fit the stamps and sentiments.

The products used:
PTI Quilter's Sampler Set (2008)
Night of Navy, Tranquil Tide card stock
SU Night of Navy ink
True Gentleman DSP
SU Stitched Shapes Framelits
Sketch: MOJO #433
Stripe embossing folder
Buttons from my stash. Not exactly a match, but I think they work, although they don't look as olive as they do in the picture.
                        
That's about it for tonight. Hopefully, I will have a chance to work on another card tomorrow, but I think house cleaning might get in the way. ;} Have a wonderful day tomorrow and I hope you get a chance to do something you love!

Live Simply,
Bernadette

Thank You

I had a chance to get inky this rainy afternoon. and created a card to link to Freshly Made Sketches using their sketch, and Just Us Girls colors. By the way, this is the first time I have linked to the Just Us Girls site, but will not be the last.

Products Used:

Crumb Cake, Basic Gray,Bermuda Bay, and Rich Razzelberry SU inks

Totally Trees and Endless Thanks SU Stamp sets

Sizzix Embossing Folder,SU Sliver Metallic Thread,The Paper Studio Enamel Turquoise Stickers

I really chided myself that I hadn't used the Totally Trees only I few times. I was perusing Pintrest and saw so many beautiful cards created using this set. By the looks of my stamps in Endless Thanks, it seems I haven't used that set at all! So sad...

That's about it for tonight. My oldest daughter will be joining us for dinner so I better skedaddle. Have a wonderful weekend and go do something you LOVE!

Live Simply,
