Just A Note to Say Hello!

Happy Saturday, friends!  I have a masculine card to share today playing along with a few blog challenges.

Thank You Cards!

Happy Tuesday!  I have a set of eight cards that I massed produced to share with you today.  These cards combine coloring, embossing, and texture.  The process is done in stages to get as many completed in a timely manner as possible.  

Simple Pleasures!

I had a bit of time to stamp for fun today! WooHoo! Of course, there are things around the house that I could have done, but I really needed to stamp!

This card is for Verve's VLVSep2010 Home Inspiration Sketch Challenge.

This is the room I chose as my inspiration!

I am also doing The Corrosive Blog Challenge for the GUYS! This week we are make a card for the guys! Goodness that is so hard for me. I still added my fou fou bow and a butterfly. The butterfly is marine mist and only sports one gold pearl so I am thinking it can be a manly butterfly. The bow is brown? This is about as manly as I can get I am thinking.  This card is also for Speedy the Cats Friend Challenge #18!

I like to cheat the nesties from time to time to get more bang for my buck.  I am using the new lacey squares, but I needed a rectangle.  So, I cut out two and pieced together.  You really cannot tell and I think it looks great!  Thrilled about this look!

I am using ODBD The Lord Has Risen! I am using Tim Holtz new combo die cut(woohoo) and Basicgray Kioshi. I really think this Kioshi dp is some of the prettiest paper. It just screams spring.
