Simply Create Too Challenge #39 - and a blog to visit

Simply Create Too has a new challenge to play in - the theme is  Fathers Day or Male Card.
  You have until June 20th to enter.
Simply Create Too

I made two cards for the challenge - both are pretty simple. 


I stamped the mustache and the hat using those $1.50 stamps sets from JoAnns. I  mounted the white cardstock on patterned paper and put the googly eyes on. Some Washi tape to finish them off. 



By the way - Simply Create Too has and extra youth entry option. Children 12 years and under can play in there and there is a separate youth challenge button to win! My son has started to play in the challenge - he occasionally enjoys making cards. And I like this much better than him spending his free time playing computer games. But I did encourage him to start his own card blog -


- and that he enjoys even more than making cards - LOL! You would just make him sooooo happy if you visit his blog and leave a little love for him there!

I am entering those card into:
Simon Says Challenge - Masculine/ Father's Day
ABC challenge - Masculine Cards
Crafty Creations Challenges - One for the Boys

Hab soeben einen kleinen Kommentar bei deinem Sohn hinterlassen. Ein paar ermutigende Worte und gleich hat man Lust auf die nächste Challenge...
In diesem Alter hat mein Sohn viel und gut gezeichnet, ...er wollte später mal Architekt werden. Das hat sich aber geändert, jetzt studiert er um Ingenieur als Informatiker zu werden und er hat nur noch Zeit und Hände für den Computer!
Deine beiden Karten gefallen mir sehr gut und die Kulleraugen finde ich genial!

And we are celebrating this wonderful occasion with a special blog hop! You may have arrived from the wonderful Giada , our Italian contingent :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY Suzanne! I used the Blowing Butterflies  (heat embossed in gold)  and the Birthday Wishes  to create my card. I cut myself a gold frame from glitter paper and added a water color wash. I opened the frame on the side to have the butterflies and color spill out. Added lots of splatters and the heat embossed sentiment Your next stop on the hop is the talented Henriette - you are going to love her card! And just in case you get lost - below are all the participants listed. You even can get lucky and win a $20 gift certificate for So Suzy Stamps - sponsored by Justine and a  Bunkie Bag from Simply Charming Everyday, but you have to le...

Addicted to Stamps and More #134 and Spotlight Sneak Peek

Hi Everyone, Its challenge time at  ATSM ! For the next two week its going to be CAS - just my thing! And hopefully yours, too! I made a birthday card, because for some reason I always need more and never seem to have enough.... I was inspired by this weeks Make it Monday , where the talented  Ashley Newell  shows us a video about  stamps and doodling. Since I  mainly own die cuts from Papertrey and not so many stamps that would fit this theme I made my own out of fun foam, using my latest Papertrey dies (just got the order a few days ago) and cut those in fun foam - it works so well - voila - you have our own stamps, spending only a fraction of the money! I doodled around the stamps as you can see. Gives you kind of a cool effect....a little more tremor and one would think I drank too much ;) Added tiny enamel dots - do you know about this month House of Cards challenge - its enamel dots - thought I'll let you know..... Our wonderful spons...

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fiftee...
