CCMC443 Bradley's Birthday

Hi everyone!  Hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed the Super Bowl, if that's your thing!  I have a masculine birthday card for you today, using the Create with Connie and Mary sketch:

and my favorite guy set, Guy Greetings!  My nephew's birthday is coming up this week, and he goes to the gym faithfully, so I thought this "vintage" bodybuilder would make him smile:

I used some retired DSP (lost the cover, can't remember the name) from a couple of years back, and my circular elements were stamped with images from Timeless Textures.  I lightly watercolored his tights and belt:

I think this is actually the first time I've inked up this handsome fellow!  Enjoy your day!

A YUMMY dessert after an afternoon of bowling!

Birthday Card in a Box

I attempted my first "card in a box"....something I've wanted to do for a long time, but never did!!  So when I saw this post, I decided to give it a whirl....got a wee bit carried away, but it was fun!  So here we go:

My box was constructed with Flirty Flamingo cardstock and Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP along with Flower Shop stamps and punch, and Flourish Thinlets.  I used the birthday sentiment from Designer Tee for the sentiment tag and a sentiment from Cottage Greetings for the flap!

Of course, with all the flourishes, I had to find a really big envelope to fit it, but I had one in my stash!  I can't wait to make another one!  And I did some fiddling with the stitched shape framelits to create rectangles!  Hopefully I can show you how to do that soon!

Cassidy went ice skating for the first time yesterday and she did really well!  Although when she came home, she did tell me she was sore all over...she did fall a couple of times!

Mommy and Wayne helped out!

Thanks for visiting today!
