Happy Birthday to my Hubby!

Yup! My BIG boy (also known as my hubby) turned 40 this week. And the poor fella was having a tough time with this one! So I went alittle... um...over the top with his card. I dont even know if I can call it a card anymore... LOL Anyhow. Here it is.... let me know what you think. I've made up a buncha new 40 themed sentiments in his honour, I've used one and I'll show you the rest .... tomorrow?? :)

Here's the outside of the *card* I've used one of the FABULOUS newer Steampunks from Kenny K.... thought my sweetie would appreciate these sexy things.... I even made alittle sentiment for the front I thought was appropriate *I Can Get You On the Naughty List*

Now....here's the Card upright in it's Easle Card.

The photo just doesn't seem to do it justice, but it's really pretty. I LOVE these papers from Authentique (did you know they're available from Graphicatstamps.com ) The blues are SO PRETTY and BRIGHT!

Here's a close up of the GORGEOUS girl!! 

And then!! Here's my 40th birthday sentiment for my hubby!!

Whaddaya think? I will have it up at Graphicatstamps.com very soon!

Now Im gonna enter this in a coupla challenges! Cause well it's been awhile since I did that and I miss it!

Another Kenny K hockey card ~ Canucks Theme

SOOOOO.... I had such fun making my last "Bruin" themed hockey card, I wanted to make another one, for a team and fella alittle closer to home... My brother and the CANUCKS! Woot Woot! OK so Im not really a HUGE hocky fan...but my family sure is. And my bro is having a tough time so I thought I'd make up another boy card for him.

So it's not much different, layout wise from the first one I did, but it's completly different colour schemes obviously. That image of course is a Kenny K and over at his challenge blog they're challenge is to use BOWS and Ribbons....which I've done with my laces there. 

I wanted to show you a close up of the logos. Ive coloured them with Spica Glitter pens and then put glossy accents on them! OMG! I love this effect! It SO makes it FABBY! 

Anyhooooo....this is my card. Im also gonna enter it over at Simon Says as they have an Anything Goes challenge!! Woot woot!

thanks for stopping by folks!

OH! And how could I forget! That sentiment is one of mine! Available now at my

Sure hope you can pop over and take a look!

Another 40th Card with a Hockey theme

Man...am I actually approaching 40?? I must be cause it seems like the "theme" for birthday cards....for FRIENDS...so... does that mean Im pushin 40 too? Crap! LOL This card is for my dear friend Eulanda's hubby, I was privilaged enough to be invited into his "man den" or scary stalker like shrine to the Boston Bruins room....I was even allowed in "the circle" during a CRUCIAL point in the game! LMAO So when it came to his birthday card I HAD to make this card.

heheheeee.....k so Im gonna have to do another one of these in Canuck colours I think for my brother. But that'll be another post. :) I found this saying and thought it would be awesome for a guy/hockey card. It says Lace Em Up, Whack the Buscuit Light the Lamp, It's a Hockey thing (you cant really see that last smaller line in the photo well) Anyhow, and I laced up some ribbon like skates on the side there. Those Bruin logos I covered in some Spica glitter and glossy accents to make them abit more welll.... sparkly (that's prolly more for me than Mike! hahaaa)

And the inside! PUCK! how did 40 happen?! Happy Birthday! LMAO

So Happy Day Mike! Hope you have lots of good ju ju this year! ;)

OK...so I AM gonna enter this over in the challenge at Kenny K  as that is a Kenny image. The theme for their challenge this week is R and since I used RIBBON on the lace up on the front Im gonna go ahead and enter it! 

See ya's tomorrow with some FAB new Betty images!!!!

Stamptacular Sunday DT ~ Anything But Square

Good Morning! Are you all as snowed in as I am?? Holy Frosty the Snowman...do we have snow! Took my sweet hubby a full day to dig us outta here! geesh! But it sure is pretty. Now, as you know, it's Sunday and over at Stamptacular the challenge this week is

Anything but a Square

Our sponsor this week is the FABulous Kenny K!! Who has generously give some of us DT one of his images to work with!!! yeah!!! Love his images. I've decided to use Troublemaker to make this birthday tag here.....

Sorry the pics not the greatest.....apparantly I havent figured out how to photograph tags....LOL

I dont know if you can see what I've done here or not, but Ive tried to take some inspiration from the fabulous Mr holtz and his 12 tags.... I used some packaging and embossed it in the back there, as well as I used a facet to add some charm... Anyhow. I hope you like and that you can join us at Stamptacular this week!!! 

Kenny K Challenge ~ You Rock

I've been so busy with all the DT stuff for my 2 challenge blogs that I just needed to take a bit of a break and make something for ME! Ok, to more direct, something for my hubby! it's his birthday next week and I wanted to be sure to make him an awesome card cause he's just been so sweet and supportive of me in the past couple rough months. So... I'd been eyeing up this image for his card over at Kenny K for awhile, so I bought it and made this up for him.


Now over at Kenny K challenges they have a sketch challenge so I followed their sketch so I could enter it over there. Feels nice to be able to enter a card in a challenge...havent done that in awhile now! LOL Anyhow, it's also an easle card. My husband LOVES anything 80's (much to my dismay) so I wanted to make a joke on that for him. So the card says "You Rock My World.....Like An 80's Hair Band" heheheeeeee Hope you like my creation.

Some deets on the card are as follows:
Stamps: Kenny K digi image
Paper: CTMH You Rock paper pack, SU Silver Shimmer
Tools: QK Super Market 4x8 alpha, Little Yellow Bicycle stickers, BG chipboard shapes
Inks: Glimmer mist (on chipboard shapes), CTMH chalk distress ink.

That's that!! Hope you enjoy peeps!
Cheers
Cheri
