I apologize for being a bit of a sporadic blogger recently. I am busy creating for the Waltzingmouse Stamps September release. All I can tell you is that the releases just keep getting better and better - you are really in for a treat, and you're going to get some things that I know you've been waiting for!
Today I want to share a card I made for my brother-in-law's birthday a few weeks ago.
Whenever I need to make a guy card, the first stamp sets I turn to are Free Spirit - Boy and Free Spirit - Sentiments. I know there is something in these that I can always use!The punched and stitched circles were inspired by this card created by Mariana Grigsby. I just loved the fun layers and thought it would be perfect for a graphic guy card.
Here is a photo of the inside - I usually don't finish the insides of my cards, but seeing as this one was headed somewhere, I did. When Bill and I first met and started dating, Mark was 3 years old. And now he's just turned 18! So, it was an '18 already?!?' moment for me. The entire inside was made using words and phrases from Free Spirit - Sentiments.Thank you for stopping in today! I hope you have a great day!
