For the Boys

Hi all

A new challenge starts over on Crafting when we can, the sponsers this week is fantastic Kenny k and the theme is 

Slugs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails - cards for boys

I have used airborne which can be found here, perfect for my sons friend, 

decided not to use design papers and kept to card, never usually use bright green, but really like the color with the black, I have embossed the black card with a sizzix star embossing board but my photos never seem to catch the embossing, some brads and buttons from my stash, and Tim Holtz gear dies

Looking forward to see all your boy cards

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges 

Whoopsi Daisy- Card or creation for a child

Mint Chocolate Chip

Morning all

Its time for another challenge at crafting when we can, this weeks theme is Mint chocolate chip and we are sponsored this week by the wonderful kenny k

This is the first time I had used a image from Kenny K and had a hard time choosing one as they are all fantastic. I decided  in the end to use groove dude from the rock squad, this guy looks so much like my husband, and he plays the guitar too so will be a great card for his birthday

The papers used are some I had for ages and thought they would be perfect for the image they are from DCWV  the music notes are the shadow notes from Gypsy Wanderings. The sentiment is done with the Xyron design runner, the ribbon and star charm are from my stash.

Take a look at the other design team creations they are all fantastic I am sure you will all want a Mint chocolate chip ice cream once you have seen them all!!!!!
