Humphrey Father's Day

Happy Sunday!  I've been scrapping today and here is one of the projects I wanted to share with you.  I've made a Father's Day card for my kids to give to my hubby.  (shhhhh don't tell him!! lol)

I just had to use the Humphrey EZMount Stamp Set - Father's Day.  This set is so darn adorable.  I have been waiting patiently to use it since I received it.  I stamped out little Humphrey and colored him with my Spectrum Noir markers - TN1, TB2, TB3, TB4, TB9, GB8, GB9, IG1, IG3, GG1. 

I had some great masculine papers from Close To My Heart that just worked beautifully with my colored image.  I finished up the card with some blue flowers around the image.  I didn't want too much frou frou since I wanted to keep it masculine.  I think my hubby is going to love it!

I'm going to enter it in the Color Me Creative - Anything Goes Challenge.

AND it works perfectly for this months Crafter's Companion Masculine Challenge that is going on right now.  If you haven't already entered you need to pull out your Crafter's Companion goodies and get busy making a masculine project to share.  You could win the prize this month!

Expect more posts from me soon.  And while you are here be sure and sign up for my giveaway HERE.  Winner will be announced on May 25th.

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Camden Town Release!

Today there is a new stamp collection release at Crafter's Companion.  It is the Camden Town release!  There are two "male" stamp sets and two "female" sets.  I've decided to use a couple of the stamps from Female #1 set

 



I really loved the sweet little bird house and bird so I pulled out my favorite paper to use with my Spectrum Noir markers, the Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock and stamped out these two images with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I also stamped out the sentiment.

 



I colored them with shades of pink and rose and orange with my Spectrum Noir markers using CR1, CR2, CR4, PP1 and OR1.  I really thought that these colors would be really grounded with a bit of black.   So I added some a bit of black paper and black bow made from ribbon in my stash.

 

I think now I need to get to coloring some of the stamps from the Male sets!  They would be perfect for our Masculine Challenge this month at Crafter's Companion!    lol  Go check out these new stamps at Crafter's Companion.  And then be sure to join in the Masculine challenge this month!

 

 

 

Until next time...happy scrapping!

Happy Mail!

Hi!  I wanted to share my happy mail with you today.  I ordered one of the cute little Sprinkles boxes from Webster's Pages this month.  I mean really, for $10 and free shipping, how can you go wrong?  Here is what it looked like when I opened the box:

 

Here are all of the individual goodies:

 

 

There is a free downloadable tutorial on how to turn all of this into an adorable mini album.  I'm off to do that now...  I will share the finished project with your tomorrow! 

To end...here is a photo of my kid sitting next to me in my scrap room playing video games... 

 

He is so engrossed in the game he didn't even notice me taking the photo!!  lol  He played his final two lacrosse games of the season today.  Won one, lost one.   It will be weird to not have any more lacrosse until fall!!

Thanks for visiting!

TGIF

TGIF!  Yeah it's Friday!  I'm really ready for the weekend this week.  How about you?  Do you have any fun Mother's Day plans (if you are in the US)?  My kids are threatening to take me out to eat at Red Lobster for Mother's Day.  They wanted to take me to the movie but there isn't anything out right now that I haven't seen that I want to see so I asked for a rain check.  Next week Star Trek Into Darkness comes out and I'm dying to see that movie so maybe we can go see that.  How about you?  Are you into Star Trek?  Are you waiting to see this movie too?  The first one was awesome!  I'm hoping this one is as good.

This week is our last week of lacrosse for this season.  There is a jamboree on Saturday and my son plays in two games.  It will be weird to not have cross practically every day of the week!!!   ha  Wish us luck!

 



I have a little card to share with you today. I was inspired to make it for two challenges.  My friend, Cheryl has a Word Prompt challenge and her word was SUN and the Sun Challenge over at Docerela Creations.  Pretty self explanatory! lol 

I think it is kind of a happy card!  What do you think?

Well, I need to rush off and take my kids to school.  Have a great weekend!!  Happy Scrapping!
