Recipe Week 282

The challenge this week over at Less is More is to use a stencil...I used a pretty stencil to create a background for this Birthday card, I'm sorry I don't know who makes this stencil haha its the only one I have that isn't in its package :(
It was a very simple card but the end product looks fabulous!

CAS(E) this Sketch #178

I have to say this is the cutest sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch and there are so many possibilities...I have a little tub full of used stamps that a couple friends gave me,most are small and I really had no idea what to do with most of them...they were out of sight until this past week when hubby bought me this eight cubby shelf unit thingy (lol) for all my crafty needs...anyway the tub is now sitting in plain sight and when I saw the sketch I pulled it out to see what little image I could use...
I started with a Tim Holtz stencil splatters...I tried to use the same colors I used to color the image...anyway here is what I came up with....

No Girls Allowed Card Challenge

I was trying to come up with an idea for a cute Fathers day card for my husband..he's never been into sports or fishing so that was NO help LOL I go through this every year but since I started making hand made cards this process has been much easier..he is a closet geek/nerd his words not mine...he loves all things computers and Star Wars....so with a little imagination I was thinking I could come up with something he'd love....
here is what I came up with.....

 I stumbled upon a card challenge blog yesterday called Cards in Envy (create card that is flat enough to mail in an envelope) their latest challenge is called No Girls Allowed!
