You Rock!

Hi there!  Did you have a good weekend?  It was busy here, but busy in a good way.  We made great progress on a few home improvement projects that needed doing.  Not a lot of time for crafting, but I managed to squeeze one card in.  I needed a masculine thank you card - not the easiest to create, but I had fun with this one!

I used Card Patterns Sketch #155 for my layout:

Here is my card:

I started with a card base of GKD Black Onyx and layered with patterned papers from the Basic Grey Oxford 6x6 pad.  My fun image is "Air Guitar" from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed him on Cryogen White and colored him with Copics.  Both sentiments are from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I colored the guitar with Spica pens and added a button for some detail.  Some stitched ribbon and a few more buttons from my stash finished off my card.

Thanks for stopping by!  Hope to see you again soon!

And The Winner Is...

Good morning!  I hope everyone stayed safe from the terrible storms yesterday.  The tornado season is so active already this year.  I hope that is not a sign of what's to come.  Anyway, I'm popping in to announce the winner of the Heartfelt Creation Design Team Alumni Blog Hop.  

The winner was randomly picked from comments left on my blog.   

And the winner is... Donna Oates!  Here is what Donna had to say:

Good morning!  It's super early for me!  In fact, I'm still sleeping as this post goes live!  I've got some exciting news and a card to share!  My card is for the new challenge on Guylou's Inimitability Blog - Things With Wings! I am excited because I was invited to be Guest Designer for this challenge, so I got to create alongside the rest of the fabulous GI DT!  How fun!

Here is some information from Guylou about the challenge:

Title: Things with Wings Challenge

Welcome to another challenge at Guylou's. This time our challenge is about things with wings.

How to participate:

You can enter only ONE project per challenge, but if you use a Guylou's Inimitability digistamp, your project will count for two entries. If you don't have one of her digistamps and your budget is tight; please check her online store where several freebies are available.

OK, so here is my card for the challenge:

I started with a card base of SU Pool Party and layered with fun patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary (Mary, Mary) collection.  My cute Guylou's image is Starla.  She can be found in Guylou's store here.  The matching sentiment comes free with the image.  I printed Starla on Cryogen White and colored her with Copics.  I added lots of Stickles for some extra sparkle.  A double-loop bow and a tiny paper rose from my stash finished my card.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks, Guylou, for the opportunity to Guest Design for the challenge!  Be sure to visit Guylou's Inimitability blog and check out the fantastic creations from Guylou and her team!

My card is also for Aud Sentiments Challenge #49 which was to create a project with the words Happy Birthday in the sentiment.

Have a great day!
