SSSC54 - It's An Invite!

I had a request to make a special invitation for a girlfriend. This invitation is going to her male friend, so I tried to keep it masculine. Adding the Very Vanilla Slider probably dropped the masculine factor down a few notches, but, nothing's perfect right???




I started with the Sweet Sunday Sketch at Karen Giron's blog. She always has great sketches and I love a good challenge ;) I leafed through my Sweet Pea Paper Pack and decided on this sheet. It uses: Old Olive, Taken with Teal and So Saffron. Not three colors I would put together on my own, but I love them!

The inside has a Very Vanilla mat that I stamped with the invitation details: Time, Place, Date & RSVP. Hopefully he accepts her very special invitation. TFL!

SSSC51 - Urban Circus Birthday

Something Old, Something New...my Urban Oasis DSP is what's old and my Circle Circus stamp set is what's new. I needed a masculine birthday card for my brother-in-law and I think this qualifies. There are no bows, no pinks and no scalloped edges. I did use some brads, but I think they're OK ;)

I had two conversations this week about how hard it is to make masculine cards. I think Circle Circus is the perfect set to have. Pair it with some blues, greys or greens and you have a card good enough for your dad, brother, son or friend.

I hadn't used my Urban Oasis DSP in quite some time, so it was nice to work with an old friend. It's retired now and I am wishing I would have bought more. It's colors and designs are timeless.


Hope you like it...TFL!
