Birthday

Happy October.  How is everyone doing today?  Are you enjoying the cooler mornings? Its so dark in the mornings now but I sure do love this time of the year with all the fall colors.  Today's card is far from being fall colors, but I hope you like it anyway. 

Using an embossing folder and a sand block I made
the blue background as the base of the card,

The flower was in my flower stash.  I'm not sure
but I think it's from Recollections.

I added two different kinds of lace and added
ribbon bows. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Enjoy your day!

Another Manly Card

Happy Monday!  How was your weekend? Hope your having a wonderful day so far! Today I am sharing another masculine card I made.  

The paper is from Tim Holtz.

I made these embellishments using a round
piece of card stock and twine.

The stamp is from Stampin Up.

I have several male birthdays in October so let see what I can come up with.....Happy Stamping!

A Guy's Birthday Card

Happy Thursday. I had lots of September Birthdays. I made this card for my brother-in-law's birthday.  I still have a hard time making manly cards.  Bows, bling and butterflies are so much more fun.  I feel like I can only use browns, greens or dark colors for masculine cards. I need to work on using other colors and themes.     

 The paper is from a Tim Holtz collections.

The stamps are from Close to My Heart.

The happy birthday banner came with the eyelet in
place already so I added twine to attach it to the card.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Broncos Birthday Party

Last weekend we went to a birthday party with the theme being "Bronco's Football".  It was really cute.  Everyone was encouraged to wear their favorite football team jersey.  Lots of Bronco and Dallas fans out there.  As for me I don't do football, I much rather craft than watch football.....

Here is the invitation we received for the
birthday party.  It's a football admission ticket.
Really cute!

I cute up the invite to make the birthday card. 

The field was made using green burlap and twine.
I stamped numbers and used a round punch, then
glued it all together. The football is confetti  I had
left over from a Superbowl party we had one year. 

The Happy Birthday was a die cut.

The sewed end of the green burlap made perfect grass. 

I thought I would share with you a
picture of my Granddaughter Tessa.
Earlier this month she went to her first
Broncos Football Game in Denver. Mom and
 Dad said she slept during most of the game.
Maybe she will take after me and
want to craft instead of watch football....hee hee

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog.  You all have a super great day!!!

Note Card

Hello everyone!  Can you believe we are already half way through September? The Holiday's are just around the corner. Today I am sharing another card I made using the left over paper from DCWV "Primrose" paper packet.

Using ink I distressed all the paper and card stock
pieces before I put them together. 

This butterfly tag came with the paper.  I used a
die cut to make the banner tag.
