HB - It's your Birthday!

 Happy Tuesday!

For this card, I used Clean & Simple Sketch  #232. As you know, I love their sketches!

I needed a boy card, which aren't my favorite! I started with My Mind's Eye chevron paper and splattered some gold paint on it.

I used yellow Chipboard Thicker's called Typo for this part of the sentiment on top of a paper from Basic Grey's Clipping 6x6 Pad.

For this part of the sentiment, I embossED Elle's Studio's "Detail Flags" (which you can find, HERE) in white.

That cute "It's your Birthday" stamp is from Lil' Inker Designs, you can find it, HERE.

Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 3

Today is our first day in Cabo San Lucas! We are going on an ATV excursion today! We tried to go last year, but we didn't know ship time and local time were different! We even asked and couldn't get a straight answer, so this time, we are for sure going to make it!!

Here's last years... check it out!
 
2011 - Joey's Cruise Cards - Day 3 

I LOVE this paper! Nevermind that it's chevron pattern.. but my favorite color too?! eek!

I used a font called Smiley Monster for this card.

I filled in the heart with Cotton Candy Stickles and a little bit of Worn Lipstick Distress Stickles.

I finished it up with some stitching and that's it! 

Happy Dad's Day!

I usually don't post the Photo Inspiration for the Card Challenge on here, do I? Maybe I'll have to start doing that!! Every month for the card challenge on Scrapbook.com, we have a category called "Photo Inspiration". It's where I post a picture that I took while I was out and about and you make a card from however the photo inspires you.. it can be color, texture, theme, technique, anything!

I found this chair at Anthropology.. one of my favorite stores to roam around in!! Can you guess how much it costs? This lovely chair could be yours for the low low price of $598!! wowzers.

My boyfriend said "I'll buy it for you for Christmas and for next years Birthday and next years Christmas and the Birthday after that!" lol. I said "Ah, that's okay, a picture is a lot cheaper!!"

On to the card!!

 eek! I looovveee this card, like you wouldn't believe! One, because it came out like it looked in my head and two, because I didn't use a sketch for it.

I don't make male cards very well, so the fact that this is a male card AND I love it is a big thing!

I used stretchy denim that I bought a while ago and tried to make it into a chevron pattern.. this was my 2nd attempt.. the first did not turn out so well!! I splattered paint on the card and on the denim.

 I used some burlap and some screen.. you read it right, screen! I added a couple fun stitches on top of them.

 

I used October Afternoon's Mini Market Stickers in Teal & Black for the sentiment and stitched that on as well.
