Masculine Birthday

I put a few masculine birthday cards together, because looking at the calendar of events, I may not have the chance to beable to play in the craft cave. 

 

 I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder for the background and then added 1/2 inch strips of retired DSP before adding the sentiment from Express Yourself.

 

 Clean and simple... great for any man!  

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! Hug the ones you love! 

Thinking of you

Yesterday was a day spent with a heavy heart. First, a friend of mine's grandmother was laid to rest and shortly after the funeral we learned that 1SGs bestmans mother passed away. Though both these women have lived long lives and their love will continue beyond yesterday, its always heartbreaking.  

 

We were recently cleaning up some magazines that the bestman always sends 1SG and his ma had written tiny little notes on the articles she thought we would enjoy most... brings a smile to my face.  We will embark on the journey to Michigan to lay his ma to rest and be there for 1SGs bestman and lifelong best friend. 

  

Great use of retired ribbon roses, that were dyed Indigo, and adding some pearls seems to finish this off nicely.I could have added a smidge more indigo but the Naturals white seemed more fitting.

Thank you for stopping by! Hug the ones you love! Have a great day! 

Open Sea - Birthday

Its my father in laws  {{how weird is that to say?}} birthday recently and since hes very much into the nautical/ ship yard stuff  I figure this was pretty safe.  

FIL is on the right 

As I was putting this together, I googled a sailor knot.. tried three times, and then whatever it was it was and it was added to the front of the card. 

 

I added dimensions to the ships sails - after cutting them out - which take my advice and never try!! They are tiny tiny pieces... 

 

Happy Birthday Clay! Hope it was a good one!  Thanks for stopping by! Hug the ones you love and have a great day!
