What adventures the last 40 years must hold. <br />

In celebration of their love, I made the following card. It cannot do a lifetime of memories justice but I hope it expresses a portion of the love I share with them.<br />
<br />
This card is being entered in the <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/2015/06/june-28-july-4-designer-drafts-challenge.html">Paper Smooches SPARKS</a> challenge.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Any reason for a celebration is glorious in my book. This world needs more joy and happiness... The difficulty, I've found, is making a birthday card masculine - for those moments that require creativity for the men in my life. How in the piles of buttons, flowers, and bright colors can you create something for a man - that isn't completely embarrassing for him to receive?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My latest attempt at crafting masculinity:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kdr4g3q0Aro/U-PChsVu6-I/AAAAAAAADhA/cyyB9sgQd4I/s1600/Happy+Birthday+Dad.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Kdr4g3q0Aro/U-PChsVu6-I/AAAAAAAADhA/cyyB9sgQd4I/s1600/Happy+Birthday+Dad.jpg" height="297" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I began scowering my stash of crafting supplies for browns, blues and greens. Yes, I realize that those colors aren't distinctly male but for the 70+ year old recipient, no doubt they are preferred to pinks. I used a grey card backing and began layering, tearing, and inking. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I cut out a white sheet and ink the outer edge with two ink colors (Tim Holtz Distressed Ink). After which, I made little incisions and peeled back the paper to add a vintage quality. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, I tied twine around a banner I cut out and continued by using punches to add various shapes and colors; adding buttons for additional embellishment. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There are no words that can stop pain in its tracks. No matter how hard we try and protect those we love, life happens... Sympathy cards are some of the most difficult. The following was created for a friend that just lost a loved one. I can't say anything to take away the loss but I hope I can offer my love and support during the difficult moments. My prayers and thoughts go out to all those hurting.</div>

Both <a href="http://fusioncardchallenge.blogspot.com/p/the-experiment.html">Fusion</a> and <a href="http://www.theunitystampco-challenge.blogspot.com/">Unity</a> had great parameters this week. I used the color scheme from Fusion and a portion from Unity (using a Unity stamp for the main sentiment).</div>

Firstly, a beautiful wallpaper pattern was used for the main background. I then added a yellow pattern to the top and a blue pattern to the bottom in a diamond-type formation. Saving the sentiment for last, lace and twine was adhered next. Finally getting dimension through chipboard underneath the sentiment and completion with the pearls on the corners.</div>

This week's <a href="http://papersmoochessparks.blogspot.com/2014/08/august-3-9-anything-goes-wk1-challenge.html">Anything Goes Paper Smooches</a> challenge was the inspiration for my card.<br />

I began this project by using watercolor as a base. I was excited to finally attempt watercolor in this latest card. I kept it simple and LOVE how it turned out. I think there will be a great deal of watercolor in my future. I used one of the digital images (the cupcake) as the main theme. Added a Paper Smooches sentiment underneath and added some gems for added dimension and completion. All in all, I want cake and to PARTY!</div>

Some days I just want to make the people in my life feel extra special. This card was designed for that purpose. On a normal day, this card will be sent to someone I love just to remind them that they are irreplaceable in my life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with a classic black and white theme hoping the color in the flower would stand-out on the background all the more. I used Copic Markers to color-in the daisy; while adding a chip-board piece under the sentiment for a little dimension...</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;">Each of us have people that come into our lives that make a difference. Individuals that inspire you to work harder, learn more and be better. Just like the wise owl in The Sword in the Stone. This past spring, I had a professor that did just that. He challenged me to grow as a person. So, when the end of the semester came, I wanted to show him just how much his tutelage meant to me. What better than a card?</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This professor always dressed the part. Every day coming to class in shined shoes and a tie. In honor of his impressive style choices, I made a dress shirt and tie card. I wanted to reflect his personality and preferences. I must admit that I tied a fair number of paper ties before I finally landed on the following. Either way, it is now out of my hands and in his. A BIG thank you again, Professor!</span></div>

This card was inspired by a close friend moving to the other side of the country. Seriously, from California all the way to Washington, DC. He will be dearly missed and the following was made for a group to sign and present to him at a farewell camp-out...<br />

It's been a glorious year but it is time to get back in to the groove of crafting. Below is a card I made for a friend's birthday. She's one of the most important people in my life and was a great way to restart my crafting fever.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello Gang! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It feels like it has been forever since my last post, which it has, let's be honest. I've had some major life changes happen that diminished my crafting time substantially. However, I still manage to have a little fun every now and again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A friend of mine and I tried out<b><span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://paintedcork.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Painted Cork</span></a></span></b>, which is an adorable "adult" paint by numbers experience with an added bonus of WINE and snacks. I would highly suggest giving it a try. I am NOT a painter by any means and had a blast. If you start disliking how your project is turning out, just have another drink! ;) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're hopping along, you should have come from <a href="http://www.ifitsgroovy.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;"><b>GroovyDeb</b></span></a>. (If you are joining us in the
middle, go to www.fiskateers.com to start from the beginning.) Today we are celebrating Fiskars' signature
color, <span style="color: orange;"><b>ORANGE</b></span>. Almost everyone is
familiar with Fiskars' famous orange-handled scissors, but Fiskars makes so
many other wonderful products for crafting, sewing, gardening, and more. Each stop along our Hop will feature
different Fiskars' products with a big helping of <b><span style="color: orange;">ORANGE</span></b>! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To add a little bit more fun an excitement, I've decided to
add a little candy. All hoppers who leave some love on this post and become a
follower of my blog will be entered to receive a Fiskars Craft Drill. They are
so versatile and fun to use. See the picture below.</span><o:p></o:p></div>
