Sketch challenge at Unscripted Sketches http://unscriptedsketches.com/ (also we have a dt call.. if your interested in becoming a design team member check out the details on their site)

With Fathers day coming soon I picked this time to get some cards made and this is the first one I have to show you for now.. I again find with masculine cards if I let the papers do the work I can pull it off.. I only used a small stamp and that is the "happy fathers day" so see it can be done.. I keep thinking what can I do on making masculine cards and my solution on the last few I have done were using the right papers. I am a paper hoarder so no problem coming up with what I needed.. LOL

This is new release Monday at Paper Pretties http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/ There are two new releases from the artist to include sentiments this is "Eat your carrots" and there is "Blossom" (which I did not post - you can see it on the Paper Pretties site) Also there are three new releases of Fawns who is a new artist at PP. So there are a lot of images to choose from if your digi shopping.

I love vegetables and could eat them all day.. why I am dieting all the time - I don't know you'd think with veg and fruits I would be thin.. NOT.. oh well I have to say carbs are a downfall for me.. that may be the problem..you think!

This cute guy was fun to play with and use the vegetable paper for the background was perfect.

Monday March 26, 2012 It's new release at Paper Pretties with their new artist FAWN.. http://paperprettiesblog.blogspot.com/ There are three new releases of hers and this is the one I chose to make into a card. I did not have at the time of completion the sentiments so I just used one that I thought fit the image from my own stash of sentiments. This set is called 1960.. I thought since this was a "1960" image set that I would use kind of faded old looking papers.. I hate to say old as in 1960 - cause gesh I was in Jr. High school..LOL.. OH well. I really thought the papers worked well with the image

Look back

Saturday March 3, 2012 Catch the bug challenge Any thing goes (ATG) http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/ I hope you get to play along and post your card to the catch the bug link. Love seeing what you do and I know I love the ATG challenges for the cards that just don't fit the themes.

This is wof look back a bugaboo image. I am getting use to making these small round cards. I like the way this came out. I really did not want to cut the girl circle any smaller and I felt it needed a second layer behind it so I just off set the scallop die so that way the card base showed (the blue) and then the tan showed behind the girl circle. Really helped adding dimension.
