Hello...I am still here! The past few weeks have been super busy- for my recent vacation I went on a scrapbooking retreat and visited Paige in NYC. Once I went back to work, I completed a retirement scrapbook for my Medical Director...and that took up a lot of my free time. But...I am back in my card making groove and trying to get up to date on all the challenges!
I will start off my cards with this week's OWH sketch- #200--amazing to have 200 sketches and I think I like them all!! I hope to go back to some of the earlier sketches and use them for some inspiration.
Love the sentiments- from My Favorite Things and Authentique papers. I tried for a more masculine Valentine's card.
And the 2 recent Midweek Throwdowns:
A masculine birthday card:
I forgot to take a picture of the inside- it says "I forgot your birthday"- a fun stamp set from Simon Says Stamp.
Dry embossing:
If you look closely- the large brown panel is dry embossed. And another great stamp set from MFT- I cannot resist this sweet cowboy! Yeehaw! The chipboard stars are from CTMH-they came in a kit I purchased at the retreat and I covered them with the same blue paper as the background.
And sketch #199:
I used Mama Elephant stamps for this one. Check out OWH for Penny's card that was the card sample for the sketch- so gorgeous!
And #198:
And that fun digital robot appears again-Sandy used this image in one of her ICSE classes. I have used him a few times- and I love that I can change the color of the heart to match my papers....so this has a more masculine feel to it.
Are you seeing a theme? I am trying to make more guy- or at least gender neutral cards and more boy cards..... but have no fear- I still love girly colors and have LOTS of paper to use!
It is cold and windy here in New England...perfect to stay in tonight to watch the Patriots game.
Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
Craft on,
Diane

Way to catch up! And way to go! I really love the cowboy and the way he lassoed the star! TFS!!!
ReplyDeleteWow you really caught up on your card making. Way to go! I love all of them, but that Valentine's card is just a lovely as can be. I love the color combo and that sentiment. I think you must be a very happy "fan" this morning. I did not see the game but checked out the results this morning as soon as I got up. Wishing you a fabulous Thanksgiving, Diane.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with all of these cards! The cowboy is so cute!
ReplyDeleteYou've been busy creating some great cards, but my snarky side has completely taken over after seeing that "Oh Ship!" card! That's too funny and a great play on words :)
