365 Cards Challenge-Aug. 29

Happy Saturday! I don't usually post on Saturday, but I came across this challenge blog and wanted to join in. The blog is called 365 Cards-a new challenge for each day of the year. How fun!!
Today the challenge was to make a sporty kind of card. I bought this baseball image from Gina K Designs several months ago and have never used it on a card. I haven't been happy with the way that I color it. Still not quite there, but it is getting better. Since baseball is the All-American sport, I used this patriotic paper from DCWV. Card stock is Stampin' Up! Circles cut with a Marvy punch and blue panel cut with Nesties Labels One (I think). Colored the image with Koh-i-noor Pencils and blended with OMS. Star buttons from Walmart.
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by. God Bless!

More Fun Little Boys .......

This was such a fun card to make. I was inspired by the card made by Theresa Momber and began searching for other samples on SCS. I found several really nice cards, but none of them used cars/trucks. So this is what I came up with.......I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and the story it tells. I know my grandson will enjoy this because trucks are his thing!

Supplies: Cardstock-Gina K, Stampin' Up! Patterned Paper-DCWV Images-SU-Little Trucks (retired) Cuttlebug Diecuts, Markers, Glitter Pen, Fabric Paint

Thanks for stopping by today! Have an awesome day. God Bless!

Another Grandson Birthday Card

Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails....

......that's what little boys are made of. I have several grandson birthdays to get ready for this summer, so I thought I should get a jump start on the cards. For this one, I ran some patterned paper from DCWV thru my Cuttlebug, using the Divine Swirls EF. I think it gives this card nice background texture. The googly-eyed frog is so cute. I know the boy who gets this card will enjoy them!

Happy Birthday Ki!

Good Morning! It's so good to be back. We got home last Monday, but have been extremely busy catching up and I was called to work a few days also. Yesterday we traveled to our son and daughter-in-laws home for a birthday party. Our youngest grandson turned 1 year old. Ki is such a cutie....he was pretty timid with all the people in his house, but when it came time for cake, he knew just what to do! This is the card I made for him.

Supplies: Cardbase-GinaK Luxury White, DP-Stampin' Up! Red/Blue Cardstock-SU (from the scrap heap ;0) ) The stamped image is from Little Trucks-SU, colored with markers and popped up. I used my Cuttlebug and the Argyle EF for texture. The number "1" is chipboard covered with cardstock.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day. God Bless!

Little Truck Birthday

Hello! Just got back from a camping trip! We had such a good time. Our oldest son and family were there also, it is so much fun to camp with family! My two oldest granddaughters are now convinced the the illusive yellow and purple fuzzywumper lives in the mountains of Idaho! hehe! The weather was perfect in the mountains and my husband got to do a little fly fishing. He hasn't been able to do this for several years because of a back injury. It was so nice to watch him enjoy this again. Watching a fly fisherman can be like poetry.....it is so smooth and looks so easy, but there really is a lot of skill involved.

I came home and finished this card that I had started before leaving on Friday. Sometimes, when you get an idea in your head that sounds quick and easy, it just doesn't come together like you had first envisioned. ;0) The little man and construction images come from the "Little Trucks" set from Stampin' Up! Card base and layered square are made from paper from Bazzill. The little blue truck was cut with a Cuttlebug die. I positioned the little man and blue truck with pop dots to make them stand out alittle. In each of the top corners of the pattern paper (DCWV) are metallic dots. I guess this will be a fun card for one of my five grandsons when a birthday arrives. ( I get to spend the day with two of them tomorrow!)

Have a wonderific day! Thanks for stopping by!
