Eagle - In Wilderness

You know, this whole blog thing sure is a pain for me sometimes!  I have no idea what to write today.  Must mean my life is pretty dull and boring! lol  Nope, it's really not, but I'm just having trouble trying to figure out what to say.  Anyway, today's card is for my brother-in-law who enjoys hunting, so I needed to come up with something that would be a little more down his alley than a sailboat.  Yup, that means I'm using a retired set.  I'd say it's time for some more masculine sets!  I hope the next catalog from Stampin' Up! has a few great ones...that they don't retire when the catalog is done!



Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Less is More - In Wilderness

Well, today's card is a little different than my norm, but I needed a card for my cousin and that meant a masculine card.  I was looking through some sketch challenges to get an idea going and this week at  Less is More their theme is "masking".  I figured I could make a pretty good masculine card using that technique.  I ended up doing a little more masking (sponging) than I planned on though...darn fingers decided to leave some prints where it was supposed to be white! lol  


Thanks for looking and have a great day!

In Wilderness Birthday

Well, Thanksgiving is done and the Christmas season has begun and what am I posting?  A masculine birthday card.  It's what I needed to make, so here it is.  I made it for my brother-in-law, and I sure hope he likes it more than butterflies!  Yup, that's an inside joke from when I gave him his card  the other day.  Anyway, I hope he had a great birthday with his family!

In Wilderness Birthday

Wow, I think making cards for teenage boys is my hardest challenge when it comes to card making!  My  nephew turned 18 last week and this is the card I made for him...after all he's into hunting.  Too bad I didn't have the stamp set Need for Speed right now because he's into racing cars too.  Oh well, there's always next year. :)

In Wilderness for RHSSC3

Wow, I think it's been a whole week since my last post.  Between homeschooling and work it seems like my time is gone before I know it! :(  Let's see if this week goes a little better. :)  Anyway, today's card is for the Red Hot Stampers third sketch challenge (RHSSC3).  I really liked the layout and thought it would be great to use for a masculine card.  In fact I will be using it for the next stamp a stack I have coming up this week.  Oh, I can't forget to add that you can play along with the Red Hot Stampers at redhotstampers.blogspot.com.  Head on over there and join in.  I know there will also be prizes going out to two winners!

In Wilderness ~ Birthday

Today's card is one that I had to quickly whip up for my brother-in-law.  Every year I forget that I should mail his card BEFORE Labor Day, not after.  I made sure I put a reminder on my calendar for next year.  We'll see how that goes. ;)  Anyway, I bought this set a few weeks ago and just put it together last night so I could make this card.  I think I'll have to play with it a little more now that it's put together. :)
