2 Masculine Guidelines 2

Okay, you are probably sick of this set by now but I'm still loving it!  It makes it so easy to make great guy cards.  Here is one for a guy in our church and one for my big brother.  The first card also uses Mega Mixed Messages and the second one uses Father Knows Best and Birthday Blessings.

I hope they both enjoy them!  

PTI March Blog Hop

WooHoo!  Time for the March Blog Hop at Papertrey Ink! This month we were to make our background paper and then use it in our project.  I had such a hard time figuring out which was my fav, so you get to see my fav 4!  

Here are my four backgrounds.  I apologize for the shadows.  It has been raining here forever, or so it seems.  Hard to get a good pic with cloudy skies and no sunlight

And here are my four cards.  I really am enjoying using Guide Lines 2 from the March PTI release.  It makes creating backgrounds soooooo much fun!  I also used "Wishing You" with those beautiful tulips and "Mega Mixed Messages" so I can say just the right thing in just the right size.  

Thanks for stopping by!  

Easter & the Bookstore

Today I got an order for about 75 cards.  I should be able to make some progress on my using stamps challenges this way!

5 of the ordered cards are Easter cards so these are the first three.  Since they are for the church bookstore I figured I'd best not use bunny's or eggs.  Unfortunately, I don't have an Easter cross, so colors and Easter sayings will have to do for this year.  

I found the ideas for these cards in the SCS gallery so if I CASED your card, THANK YOU!  I have not much originality!  I used PTI stamp sets on all of these except for the Happy Easter  stamp that is from SU!  I am sooooo looking forward to receiving my Mega Mixed Messages stamps  from PTI so that I can have a larger version of the Easter Wishes.

Thanks for stopping by!  Come back again to see how I am doing on my order!
