QKR Stampede One for the Boy's Challenge #40

Yeah!  Friday is here!!!!

That means a new challenge from

QKR Stampede.

This week you are to hop on over to the

Challenge Blog

and upload your creations

that are "for the boys".

Here is my DT creation for your inspiration....

 As you well know as readers of my blog I have three girls and seldom need boy or man cards

so it makes it a difficult category for me.

However, with the use of the

Wizard Balloon Holder

from

QKR Stampede

and the

Silhouette Cameo

I was able to come up with this clever belly band card.

The entire card was digitally colored in photoshop and cut on the cameo.

You can find this image and many more when you shop

LEJ Designs Monochromatic Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog post today for

LEJ Designs Challenge Blog

monochromatic

is the challenge this week. 

I used  Rapunzel digi stamp

from LEJ Designs

and kept to the red hue in photoshop and kept

going with lower shades to digi color my image.

The image is telescoped off of the card with dimensional foam

 and it is really a nice effect (hard to see in the pic tho).

I ran the PTI background card stock through a CB embossing

folder to make it appear as a partial castle turret.

You can find this awesome image along with many others

when you shop

In the Soup

I worked on some board shorts for the 4th  Have a SWELL 4th  and made up a few of these with the leftover bits.  The script is computer generated.  And for those who don't know about the soup it is the point where the wave breaks and all the trash and seaweed  from the ocean collects in the white water.  

Surfers call this the SOUP;)

So as the card says when life has you in the SOUP paddle out again!

Thought this would make another wonderful card of encouragement for my creative stash.

Yes, I am a fan of all types of  music I love all different Genres and really can't pick a favorite one.  Depends on my mood what playlist I have going in the background.

Why the heck am I talking about this you ask.  Well Poison's song lyrics inspired today's creation...

I think it is a wonderful card of encouragement don't you?

Bret Michaels now, still as hot as EVER and I so want his Hat!
