Masculine Birthday

I created this for my good friend Deb's challenge of nautical, she has a challenge at the end of every month called Last But Not Least, check it out and play along!  I luv this SU set, it is perfect for those manly creations.  I used the sketch from SCS today, keeping it on the CAS side.  I added scoring that comes out and meets the birthday sentiment.  I added stitching, distressing, and burlap string.  I changed up the shapes a bit from the originally sketch, you know me always making it my own...hehehehe.  These challenges are great to get a few manly cards completed, don't forget The Last But Not Least challenge!  Have a super day and give the man in your life a big hug and a shout out of encouragement....enjoy!

Viva la Verve-Enjoy Your Day

 Hello and happy Friday, the weekend is here my friends!  I have the Viva la Verve sketch to share with you today, Amber has brought to us a fun sketch!  I have also played along with a few challenges, one I would like to tell you about in depth is the Last But Not Least Challenge brought to you by my good friend, prayer warrior, SU demo and shopping buddy Deb Horst.  She is having a monthly challenge starting on the last day of each month...get it,... last but not least.  The challenge this month is a CASE, you can get all the details over on her blog...head over and check it out !
I used the tiny heart and flowers from the newly released Verve set Chicks Rule and the sentiment is from the Big Wish set.  I added dry embossing and distressing, it is very hard to see with the gorgeous early espresso card stock.  The papers are fun patterns from Jillybean called Dutch Mustard...such sweet patterns.  I hope you are planning a fabby weekend and sunshine comes your way....enjoy!
