CCEE Stampers-Masculine

This week the CCEE Stamper's hostess for the month, Kathy, asked that we make a masculine card for the challenge. Hmmmm...don't know how many men would like this color of green but I'll keep my fingers crossed that the recipient will.

My chevron paper was a free digital download from Julie at Julie Makes Cards. She has it in different colors and is so cool. Thanks, Julie...I'm really enjoying the paper.

My sailboat image is unknown..had it for a while and don't remember where I got it but it has no name or company on it. The sentiment is Inkadinkado-Coastal/Maritime.

I stamped my clouds using an SU circle scallop I punched. I'm using VersaMagic summer sky for the clouds.

Paper: PTI white cardstock, Stampin'Up! Chocolate Chip, and Core'dinations apple green

The ribbon is Wright's and I'm using some old copper gromlets I had for a long time.

We would love for you to come along and join us HERE with your masculine cards.

I found a tutorial on making a chest online at ehow.com and took a look at the photo and made just a front with my cardstock. I had to set my sewing machine somewhere and thought this was perfect. I made a 'fabric' cloth for the top of the chest by cutting the shape and embossing. The chest was distressed for an old look. My sentiment was hand cut.

Recipe:
Stamps-I'm in Stitches
Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampabilities white
Paper: MFP Old World Gold, Bo Bunny Press-Velvet Floral dp, The Paper Studio brads for the chest

I also made this extra card for the blog hop using this same set. I went vintage with my card, something I don't do a lot. And, I had fun with it.

I have collected a few scissors over the years and my sis made me a beautiful  box that had some gorgeous gold metallic stitching on the scissors at the top of the box. That was for keeping my scissors inside. It was on my blog quite a while back. So, this set is really a lovely one for me.

Ink: Memento Desert Sand (sponging), SU Chocolate Chip

FOSTV-Summer

Hope you all had a super Father's Day weekend. My husband and I visited with one of our sons over the weekend. The other lives too far away to run for a visit so there was a phone visit with him.

The workers are finishing up in my house today. Hallelujah!!!! A hundred times over. Now, the clean up starts and I don't know where to begin. I suppose I'll start with the floors and work from there. Any volunteers out there to come help me?????? I'll have the cleanest house in town after this because I have to scrub EVERYTHING. If you don't see me for a while, you'll know where I'll be.
I won't have access to my computer today after about 8:00 a.m. I have to leave the house or stay pinned up in a little area near the computer surrounded by furniture from other rooms...NO WAY. I'll be away all day. When I return those guys better be through!!!!!!

The challenge this week at Friends of Speedy TV is Summer. You can do whatever you think is summer-like...beaches, flowers, etc. I'm using a Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Co. stamp set called Black-Eyed Susans for Encouragement and for the sentiment, from the same company, a set called Pussy Willows. I stamped twice, once on dotted paper, cut them out, and popped them on top of the first image.

We hope you'll come over and join us this week. I'm showing the fabulous stamp set that some lucky winner will receive.

Remaining recipe:
Paper: PTI Bitty Dot Basics
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories-EK Success Morocco Lace border punch, orange pearls, Offray yellow/gold grosgrain ribbon
