Manly yes, but I like it too!

One more card for the Latnightstamper's masculine challenge this week.  I thought I would use some of those little stamps from the Pretty Petites stamp set that I got for FREE during SAB!  Along with the matching punch. 

I always love this layout for small images.  I am sure I have used it many times before but it always looks fresh and fun to me.  The colors and papers can change the theme and style so much! 

Stamps: Pretty Petites, A Fitting Occasion, Feeling Sentimental
Paper: Lucky Limeade, Very Vanilla, Midnight Muse, Summer Starfurit, scraps of dp
Ink: Midnight Muse
Other: 1 inch circle punch, petite curly label punch, corner rounder

Hope you day is going well, I have a sick child home from school today so I am back to tend to him.
See ya soon and thanks for stopping by.

Try Stampin On Tuesday!

Yep, Tuesday already--you know what that means -- a brand new challenge on the Try Stampin on Tuesday blog!  As always we have another great sketch.. well honestly at first I was a bit confused with all the strips but I was able to wrap my sickly brain around it and get a card made that I actually love. Here is the sketch...

and my sample...

I used the brand new More Amore Specialty paper combined with a few different sets.

Stamps: You are Loved, Hearts a Flutter and Pretty Petites (brand new SAB)
Paper: Pool Party, Real Red, Primrose Petals, Very Vanilla, More Amore Specialty paper pack
Ink: Pool Party, Real Red, Basic Black
Other: Crochet Trim, big shot dies, button from SAB pack, thin black ribbon, embossing folder (hard to see)

Thanks so much for stopping by today--be sure to check out what the rest of the team did with the sketch--I was impressed--great sample.
