hmmm...I bet that blog title got your attention, now didnt' it! With this challenge the Bloggers Challenge Group reaches a milestone - we're 1 year old! What started out as a conversation between Sheryl and I on "what inspires you to create", has become a weekly inspiration for many blog readers. I'm grateful to have so many talented people participating in these weekly challenges.
This weeks challenge was to create a card with a "manly" theme....when I was planning the challenges I had it in my mind that BC52 should be "celebration", but I my hands didn't type what I was thinking...So here' you have my "manly celebration" card....boys can be men too! I'll be giving this one to my son for his birthday in August.
To create my card, I used some my newly acquired goodies....First I picked out my background paper from my new stash of Paper Loft Paper - here I used Court Jester. My image is from Cornish Heritage Farms - Rummage Bin Line, Boys will be Boys. I stamped and colored my image with Adirondack Pigment Inks and clear embossed. I can't wait to learn more about these next month at CHA - I'll be attending the All Things Adirondack Class taught by Tim Holtz - I'm super excited! My numbers are from the monogram stamper line from Just Rite Stampers .
If you'd like to play along with this weeks challenge, just leave a link in the comments to your card. If you upload to SCS, you can use keyword BC52, so your challenge is easy to find.
Have a super Friday - thanks for stopping by!

Terrific card. Love the stamps & paper choice.
Love it! - What a great image and I like how you just colored in portions of it. Wonderful papers and great colors make this a fantastic card for you & even old (as some me are just "boys" in larger bodies!).
Thank you too for starting this group. I feel I have gained so much from it and have become a better stamper by being "challenged" to think and create outside my normal comfort zone.
Your son is going to love this wonderful card. Great job!!
Such a darling image Lisa! I love the vintage look of the stamp! {SMILES}
