Having fun on Friday…

Can you believe it is Friday already!?  Time is flying during this busy holiday season.  I really need to get those cards out today!

Today, Kelly Goree from BasicGrey is back with us again today and we are having such fun with our sketch challenges.  Today we picked Hero Arts Bold Caps Alphabet set and the BasicGrey Granola line.  I hope they leave you feeling inspired.

First, here is the card sketch…

First, here is a card I did based on this sketch.  I am addicted to adding dimension to my cards with foam dots.  Here, the strips of paper are popped up, making a big impact.

Supplies:

•  Hero Arts Bold Caps Alphabet
• Hero Arts Scallop Borders (NEW)
• Hero Arts So Sweet (NEW)
• Hero Arts DesignBlock Grid (NEW)
• Hero Arts Blue Pearls (NEW)
• Colorbox Chalk Ink Queue Chocolates and Blueberries
  
• BasicGrey Granola line

And here is another card based on this sketch by Shari Carroll.  I love how we both ended up making similar cards for our husbands!  This combination of products works great for masculine cards.  Isn’t her card incredible!?  (Oh… and “happy day” to Shari and her husband.  They have been married for 22 years today!)

Card by Shari Carroll.

Now it’s time for the layout sketch.  I created it based on THIS wonderful layout by Robyn Werlich.

    I’m always looking for ideas for “manly” cards and these really do the trick. Thanks for the inspiration.
