3,2,1: Flowers!

Does anyone else remember 3-2-1 Contact!? That's what I thought of when I did my title. My husband (who is a young pup) now thinks I'm crazy.

Today at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration we have a 3, 2, 1 challenge. Use 3 Designer Series Paper patterns, 2 punches, and 1 stamp. This is the second time we've had this challenge in our 1.5 years and it always seems more daunting than it is.

Because I had my HUGE stack of DSP in front of me and couldn't decide which I wanted to use, I let the gals from the design team challenge me and pick the three packs I had to choose from. Donna and Bree sure gave me a run for my money, and I used patterns together I wouldn't have picked on my own; but I really love them! I love the DT ladies too; they are pretty awesome gals!

Masculine Monday

The more I make masculine cards, the easier I find it is to create them. Now I wonder why I ever struggled with it.

This card features Garden Green, Tangelo Twist and Night of Navy. The stars were cut with the Stars Framelits out of Gold Foil Sheets. The "Celebration" is from the Project Life Remember This stamp set.

My favorite part of this card is the Designer Series Paper. Who would have thought that I would find paper for a masculine card in a pack of paper called Flowerpot? This card reminds me of my dad, as he had a shirt almost this exact color green. The only difference is that the white stripes were set farther apart.
