Lots of different elements from different vendors that have made their way into my crafting supplies (stockpile might be the better term!) have come together to create this charming Christmas card! I like how the iridescent gems repeat the gray/silver hues whereas the green glitter gem dots repeat the green doily accent piece and from the Santa chipboard accent.

Masculine and or weather themes for TCCC blog no 221 new post reveal

The new challenge at TCCC is sponsored by All Dressed Up and SheepSki Designs.

My "Cool Dudes" image from ADU is super cute and perfect for a winter weather connection, hence the added blue ink snowflakes and white glitter foam one. I've included light blue/gray cardstocks to keep it cold sky color-related. Colorful puffy alpha sticker sets provide a bright contrast to grab your attention. And then a chromatography type watercolor marker + water treatment on coffee filters bled through to the paper toweling which I decided was too terrific not to use too. So a section got added for a backdrop and helps reinforce the bright hues!

I'm the only one on the DT crew that used this image, so please use the TCCC link to see what other wonderful images from ADU were available to use by the team and also check out what half the crew had to use from SheepSki...terrific images to support masculine AND weather themes. There are some creative interpretations!

TCCC #221 June 15th new challenge posting= https://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2019/06/221.html

*Another reminder= make sure to look at what the other DT crew members have created using images from ADU or SheepSki. Take time to give them some feedback, too.

Masculine birthday card with contrasts for PPCC no 433 design team project

As adults I find that celebrating birthdays is usually a balance between daily living obligations vs relaxing and taking it easy. So this card shows that struggle--forceful words on the cover folds but either whining complaints or wishes or accomplishments on the inside panels.

Dr. Digi's Dunderton Rugby Club image of "Derek" is the star of this card:

PPCC blog #433 is another weekly challenge with Anything Goes (with paper-crafting) theme starting June 5, 2019. There are 2 prize sponsors & contributors of images for the design team to highlight: Time For Tea Designs and Dr. Digi's House of Stamps. I'm working with one of Dr. Digi's series featuring Derek.

PPCC post link for recent winner & top 3 since #433 hasn't been posted as of 2:20pm Wed. 6/5/19=

more scanned pics from start to finish:

Dimensions: 7" high and then each section is 3.5" wide or 10.5" wide total

"Do I have to adult today?"  "I need a nap!"  "Busy, busy, busy."

"I love naps."  "Can I get a day off?"  "Gettin' stuff done!" And in the top right corner of the center panel: "Nope, not today!"

Before the day was over, I had edited--changing the birthday related stick-on and adding a tiny planner sticker to Derek's left ("I need a time out").

Some of the vendors:
a. for the black and white glossy label sticker and the black & white checked washi tape= Pen + Gear
b. dark red marbleized cardstock = Colorbok
c. triangle print and zebra print papers= The Paper Studio
d. stickers "strong" and "fearless" = Simple Stories
e. all the planner type stickers = Simple Stories
f. others not mentioned thus far in the blog post...I've just had too long to keep track of.
