A masculine birthday card...

I created this masculine birthday card for the latest challenge over at 

Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends.

Challenge #60

Theme - Always Anything Goes

Sponsored by Miss Daisy Stamps

I used the image Resting Loon which can be found HERE in the Miss Daisy Stamps shop.

As always this challenge is Anything Goes.
I used a card base from a kit I had and simply printed and matted this image on the card base.
I typed a sentiment on my computer and added a rope bow for some texture.
Overall, I've pleased with my "quick and simple" Birthday Card.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends this week.

Christmas Wishes...

I created this Christmas card for the latest challenge over at 

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges

Challenge #75
Theme - Add Ribbon

Sponsored by Miss Daisy Stamps

I used the image Christmas Surprise which can be found HERE
in the Miss Daisy Stamps shop.

I loved this little image and was originally thinking about creating a Christmas Tag with it but decided to make a card instead so I could use some of my cute ribbon (purchased on sale at Michael's awhile back)  Check out the great patterns on this ribbon.  I couldn't use just one or two pieces, so decided to add several of the pieces to the side of the image.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at Holly Jolly this week.

Happy Father's Day

I created this card for the latest challenge over at

Challenge #36

Theme - Always Anything Goes

Sponsored by Miss Daisy Stamps

I used the image Resting Loon which can be found HERE in the Miss Daisy Stamps shop.

To create this card I simply printed the image, diecut it and chalked the sky, feathers and water.
I embossed half of my folded card, and added some blue ribbon and a sentiment, and it was done.

I hope I've inspired you to play along with us at Lil' Patch of Crafty Friends this week.
