The man in my life is my friend of 34yrs and husband of 29 of them!   He is a very outdoors person, loves the forest immensely and has hunted in them since he was 12 yrs old.  He comes alive every fall as the days shorten and cool , the birds head south and the 'rut' begins. It is his time of year and I become a hunter's widow, I call it my 'crafting time':O)!

Card details:

Stamp:Via Las Vegas stamp: sentiment computer generated, Stampin' Up's 'banner blast'

Punch: circle punch, one hole punch,round corner punch ,Stampin' Up's 'petite banner' punch
Colour medium: stamped image with versa-mark and used Stampin Up 'Early Espresso' embossing powder to heat emboss the moose and give it it's colour  
Paper: Stampin' Up's garden green, whisper white, chocolate chip:

Technique: heat/wet embossing using background stamps and the moose stamp.

Sugar and Spice Lexi's Creations Challenge 108

Lexi's Creations Challenge #108 Fancy Folds

The challenge is anything goes and I chose an easel card with a Mo Manning image and a FDC (Fairy Dust Crafts) sentiment. Love both the image and sentiment, I think they make a perfect match. It is a Birthday card for our great granddaughter who turns 2 and who I think looks a bit like her, the same soft  blond run away hair, the toddling feet and both cute as a button :)! Aren't die cuts wonderful, they make the most lovely embellishments. This was fun card to make!

Sammie Snowman

Sammie Snowman from Fairy Dust Crafts (FDC) is one of my  favourite snowmen and I make at least one card every year with this image.. This year it is an easel card and I have used a few new die cuts and some liquid pearls. The background is paper made with shaving cream and re-inkers;see here for tutorial!

My stamping buddy and I sat down a while ago and spent some time making background paper with  shaving cream and re-inkers. Had been quite a while since we had used the technique. We had so much fun making them and the paper smelled so nice! The  dies's are Memory Box's 'Gabriella Border' and for the fence  Impression Obsession Die 034-U. I used Prismacolor markers to colour the image and   pasted an old snowflake found in my stash to provide the means to keep the easel card upright!

DT Card for Lexi's Creations Challenge #92 Father's Day or Special Male Birthday

My DT Card for Lexi's Creations    Challenge #92 Fathers' Day or Special Male Birthday. The challenge will run June 10th - June 22nd, 2013. 

I no longer have a father or father in law, but I do have a fabulous brother and this card is for him. He is retired and to keep busy mows the greens at a local golf  course and keeps the lawns mowed for his neighbours when they are away in the summer. He lives along the shore of the lake we were raised at and I love to think of him busily mowing away the summer hours , outdoors and near the lake he loves. When I saw this stamp by 'Art Impression' I knew it was the perfect stamp for his birthday. I added the Fairy Dust Crafts butterfly  for an embellishment  It is a male card so did not want to make it too fussy. The sentiment cracks me up! I added the birthday Number digitally as the sentiment was rubber stamped.
