Masculine B-Day Card

It's SPRING BREAK this week and I am in HEAVEN!!!  I've spend the past couple of days spring cleaning and landscaping my front yard (needed lots of TLC from the wintertime days).  But, I have found lots of time to read, and of course, scrapbook.  So, my card today is for a masculine birthday and came from two inspirations.  The color inspiration was provided by Color Throwdown #183 and the sketch challenge was provided by Cardabilities Sketch #51. 

Paper:  Baja Breeze, Kraft, Certainly Celery, and Cajun Craze (closest I could come to Really Rust)
card stock and a patterned paper (not sure where from)

 Ink and Ribbon:  Basic Black ink, Certainly Celery Striped Grosgrain ribbon (torn apart), and twine

Stamps & Punches: Loved Ones stamp set, 2 1/2 circle punch, Mixed Bunch punch (cut to display "brother"), and Tasteful Trims die 

Embellishments:  mini brads, buttons, and stampin' dimensionals

Baby Boy

I'm back with another card!  This time it is for a baby boy's shower for a colleague at work. I'm sooo excited because I bought my first sewing machine and had my mom and grandma teach me how to sew just so I can add sewing to my scrapbooking.  I used my sewing machine for my very first time on the card below and I think it turned out okay.  I have LOTS to learn though!!! I enjoyed using the Stamping 411 Sketch Challenge #245 and the colors from CCMC191.  Thanks for the inspiration! 

Paper:  SU DSP, Island Indigo, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron, and Whisper White card stock

 Ink and Ribbon: Island Indigo ink and ribbon with white fibers

Stamps & Punches: Sweetness Unlimited stamp, Scallop Oval punch, and Decorative Label punch
Embellishments:  Twitterpated fabric sewn on, library clip, and mini brads
