Seize The Birthday #13

It is time for another challenge at Seize The Birthday! This week we are using that same fabulous sketch from last week, but doing a card for the guys.

Here is the sketch: 

And here is my card :

I really struggle with the guy cards. I don't even own any masculine stamps. I actually don't make cards to send or give. I make cards because I so thoroughly enjoy it, and I think all cards need flowers. It's just a given you know? So making a card without flowers is just plain wrong! haha! I do send and give my cards, it's just that the guys in my life usually get flowery cards too! 

So anyway, I asked dh if this card was masculine and he was all like "Yeah! I like owls!" So here you go, my masculine card :)

That cute little owl is from Hampton Art. The green thing he's sitting on is a Stampin' Up! Hostess set in the current catalog and the little sentiment is from Papertrey Ink. Paper are all from K & Co.

This week we are proud to sponsor Paper Sweeties! They are donating a $10 gift certificate to the winner!

  Paper Sweeties™ LLC is owned and illustrated by Debbie Marcinkiewicz, and offers hand drawn, high quality photopolymer acrylic stamps.  Our heartwarming images allow paper crafters to create adorable dolls with interchangeable outfits and accessories! We also have a wide variety of wonderful all-occasion sentiments, labels and accessory sets - perfect for every paper crafted project!  The Paper Sweeties Shoppe carries hand tea-stained seam binding too!  The Sweeties dolls, accessories and sentiments are so much fun to play with and are sure to bring back fond childhood memories!  You’ll enjoy using the Sweeties to create projects for card making, scrap booking, party invitations and favors, home decor, gifts and so much more!

*NEW* Fusion Card Challenge #1!

Greetings and Happy Thursday!

This is a very exciting day! This is the first day of the new Fusion Card Challenge!! 

Oh this one is FUN!! So many options to explore with three challenges to choose from!! I am super excited about being on the design team!! How in the world did that happen?? haha! 

Anyway, you'll have to check out the Fusion Card Challenge blog to read all the details to play along, but I'll give you a quick run down of what's up for the first one.

 You can choose to submit a card for Jackies team with the sketch only, Lesley's team with the color photo inspiration only or you can combine the two to create some explosive fusion!! How fun is that?

I am on the Fusion team so I get to create a card using both the sketch and the photo!! Love love that! :)

So without further ado, here is my first fusion creation!!

I know I've already overused the "fun" word here, but seriously. This was FUN!! The flowers are from Verve, the little green leaves from Papertrey Ink and the Hello and tiny flowers from Stampin' Up! 

Okay so I need to tell you all how much I appreciate all of the sweet comments and how sorry I am that I have not made it around to all the blogs to return the niceness. My internet has been seriously messed up since March 15th and totally out for the past week. The guys were supposed to come out and put in a whole new bigger, better, and faster satellite system on Wednesday, but never showed up :( They did come yesterday and I'm SO thrilled!! So I should be back around blogville to make up for my absence :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you'll take a peek at the other design team members to see their fabulous creations, but most of all, I hope you'll join us at

Fusion Card Challenge this week!! Yay!!

I really had fun making this card. I love patterned paper and got to use lots :) The stamps are all retired from Stampin' Up! except the tiny flowers, they're from Printed Petals set.

I appreciate you stopping by and for all the sweet comments. My internet has been out for over two weeks now and I have been having to use my neighbors, so I haven't been online much to leave comments or do anything. They internet  fixers were supposed to come out yesterday and put me in a whole new bigger, better and faster satellite package, but they didn't show :( I have my fingers crossed that they'll come see me today and that soon I'll be back online!

Hugs,

Kay :)
