I used Theresa Momber's, "Farm Life" and decided to go clean and simple. I stamped my image in brown Memento ink on Gina K's Pure Luxury Heavy Base Weight Kraft card stock. I then used my Scor Buddy to create a "edge" on both sides of my ribbon.
I really struggle making "manly" cards and when I see a set like this that I KNOW I can work with to create simple layouts for such an occasion, I start loading up!! *smile*
Now... how about something to celebrate??!!!! Did you see my previous post??? Did you see the 30K number on the right indicating hits on my blog??? Well now... if you didn't... listen up!!!
I CANNOT believe I made 30,000 hits. Over a year ago I started this blog determined to keep it up and running and do as much as I could to get visitors and/or followers. Well... NEVER... NEVER did I think I would be able to continue this for so long. To me, it seemed like a "journal" of sorts and if you knew me, you know I have journals EVERYWHERE!!! I love writing and I love leaving something behind for my kids/family to remember. And when my darling husband sees ALL of these journals, he thinks I start and never finish. Well to be honest... I just happen to find a "cooler" journal I want to write in!!! LOL
I truly never thought I'd keep this blog going for so long!! And I admit, I may not have posted EVERY day.. but I certainly haven't missed NEAR as much as I thought I might. Hee Hee
So to congratulate ME and to say THANK YOU to all my followers and visitors, I am offering up a Gina K Designs stamp set, two stamps from InStyle Stamps and a set from Creative Clear Stamps... all your choice!!!! FREE!!! These awesome companies all helped me to achieve this milestone by allowing me to be a part of their design teams during the last year. I was/am honored to have worked with such wonderful companies and I KNOW you will love looking through their sites to find something you want.
All you have to do is mention my blog candy on your blog and leave a comment! If you don't have a blog.. no problem... just be sure you leave a comment and tell all your friends!! I will print off all the comments and hire Random Cara to pick a "happy" friend. *smile*
You have until Saturday, October 2nd at 10:00 PM CST to leave a comment and enter. On Sunday, I will announce the winner. Good luck and thank you... for being a friend, a follower and allowing me to be a part of your "creative life". *HUGS*
Have a great day!!! *smile*

well I just found your blog and your cards are wonderful! My blog is a bit more generic, it is just things I am creating, as well as some personal posts. I too love to journal, and I too leave unfinished ones! I love your designs, getting some great ideas. My cards never look like the one that inspired it, LOL, but I try. I feel like rather a novice with all these new techniques flying around. I will follow your blog because I think I'd like to keep up with you. Lindy
Congrats on your anniversary. I loved browsing your cards. They are all so nice. You do masculine cards very well and we all know how difficult that is!
I look forward to seeing more of your work!
