I just want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Ooh La La for even thinking about me and picking me as a guest designer.  I was so honored.

Kolby's Birthday Card

A birthday boy will be turning 9 years old pretty soon.  I used CPS #172 Sketch.  All I did was turn the sketch on it's side. The color combo I thought was perfect for a young boys card.  It came from Diva Coffee Break Designs Challenge #182.   I embossed the number 9 with my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.  I got the idea to give it dimension from   Allsorts Challenge #58 - they asked for embossing - it was a perfect idea.

 

I was going to use die cut alphabets for the happy birthday and then I saw that Pile It On Challenge #24 wanted stickers to be used and I thought yea.. I bet I have a Happy Birthday sticker.  I have tons and after going through them I found the perfect one.  Same color combo pretty much.   The last two challenges I'll enter the card in will be Sew Many Challenge #19 - Anything Goes , Charisma Cardz Challenge #25 - For the boys and Polka Doodle Challenge #25-  boy's birthday

Well I hope he likes it but then he's 9 I am sure he will be more interested in what's in the wrapping than what the card looks like.  That is fine with me cuz he is a great kid.  Love him lots.  

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

P.S  NOT ONE STAMP WAS HARMED OR USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS CARD!.. LOL.. HAHA  

You Rock My World

I made this birthday card for a couple challenges.  Yesterday as soon as I saw the sketch at Cards for Men Challenge #13 I knew I wanted to use it.  I have quite a few birthdays coming up in July so I thought I better get started.  Come to think about it, I think they are all guys/boys.  My BFF has three of her boy's birthdays coming up in July and all in a row. I guess Oct was a very "ACTIVE" *wink* *wink* month for her.   LOL. 

I ended up turning the sketch on it's side but I think it all turned out great.   The color combo I took from The Corrosive Challenge #69.  It is to use Black and White then add one other color.  Incy Wincy Designs Challenge #47 wanted us to incorporate Music into our card.  It's funny how I have a mental inventory of everything I own.  I can tell you if I have a certain kind of paper or if I have that stamp you could use.  So when I was putting this card together I just knew I had paper with music on it.  Sure enough with a little digging I found it, and the background was black so it was meant to be.  Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #2 asked us to use ribbon as a border.  I can't believe I found the perfect color orange to match everything but there it is.  Even though this card will be for a guy it is ok to put ribbon on  it - Right?  It's not a girly thing is it?  Well last but not least Polka Doodles Week #24 Challenge is to make a card for a man/guy.  Got that covered.

I sure do hope anybody that stops by enjoys my cards as much as I enjoy making them and mostly giving them. 

Have a wonderful Tuesday.

Just for Angel

I really can't get into it but my BFF's mom has been struggling with an illness.  I ask all the time how she is doing and keep track of the progress but I have never made a card for her and told her myself.  So here is a card for Angel.  Yep that's her name. 
I took the sketch from Little Papershop  LPSC72 Challenge .  I also love pink and brown together and Just Us Girls Challenge #38 was perfect.  They had a color challenge of just those colors and add "Vanilla" with the two other colors.  Since I'm using Ice Cream Colors Papertake Weekly Challenge right now is to use Ice Cream Colors.  Sir Stamp A Lot's June Challenge is to use Punches.  The whole card is punches.  Do you love my ribbon punch.  I found that in a clearance pile a while ago and hoped I would never have to use it. 

I stamped the inside with a Hero Arts Stamp called Dot Flourish Border and added some little bling. 

I hope every Dad out there had a wonderful FATHER'S DAY

and to everyone else

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK.

Very Simple Card

  
It has been a very rough day today so just going to get right to my card and the challenges.  I went to HL today and on the clearance rack was this Penny Black stamp.  It is called Constellations but it looks like Dandelions.  No matter what it was only $3.75 so what a buy.  The Blue and Brown DP papers is from Martha Stewart.  WalMart is re-doing all their stores in AZ so tons are on clearance there.  the 12x12 paper pads were only $4 and the 8x8 were 1$.  I stamped the image and then put some bling on some of the circles.   I used the sketch from The Corrosive Challenge #128    The colors I choose were from Stampin 411 Challenge #128
