Creative Card Crew Masculine

 For my Creative Card Crew card for this challenge I used one of my favorite masculine images from
The Pixie Cottage!  He is just perfect for a fella's birthday.  (my husband is a hunter so this is soooo appropriate for his birthday!)  My image was colored and shaded with copics and Tim Holtz distress ink.  Papers are from my stash.

Our sponsor for this fortnights challenge is the always wonderful Simon Says Stamp.

One of you will win a $20 gift voucher to spend in their vast on-line store.

Simon Says Stamp is the one stop craft supply store. They carry a large range of supplies that are just perfect for your crafty projects.

Our challenge for you is MASCULINE. I know, I hear all the groans. Masculine cards are hard, but the men and boys in our lives want to be on the receiving end of our crafty projects too.

Blog Candy Winners! And Super Bowl!

It has been sooooo crazy with the Super Bowl being here in INDY! Friday night I took my son downtown to experience this once in a lifetime craziness!  LMFAO had a free concert on Georgia street.  We got there
4 hours before the concert and 50 feet from the Verizon stage was already closed.  It was craziness with teenagers.  It took us over an hour to move 30 feet to the side of the street.  We ended up watching the concert on the huge screen about 100 feet from the concert.  I have to say that I thought that the LMFAO concert was really terrible.  Not too impressed with this band.  Too much vulger music.  After about half way through it we left and began the long walk to the car.  There were a lot of cool events going on through out the whole day though.  We ended up having a lot of fun but I was glad to get to the car finally.  I bet we easily walked  over 8 to 10 miles!

For my Midnight Madness card for this month's challenge, I used one of Priscilla's Froggie digitals.
What a cute image for a Valentine!  I used cardstocks from Canvas Corp.  I distressed all of the edges of each layer of cardstock.  (I recently was given a new distressing tool and had to try it out).  My adorable digi was colored and shaded with copic markers..
