Kenny K has a challenge this week - Texture!

Honest opinion - birthday card for a 37 year old guy - What should I say inside!?!?!?  I need help figuring it out!  

Anyway, this is Kenny K image - love her Mae Western is what I believe she's called.  I used a couple different options for texture - the tuille behind Mae, the staples and the brads!  

That's it - simple but I am happy with it!

it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Love Meljens - I rarely do a strictly one blog challenge- i'll check around but this was meant primarily for Meljens - I love them and haven't really done much!  Ironically - Lollipop is going to have Meljens featured this week!  So....back to the drawing board - I already have another Meljens image ready in the wings!!  This is "a song".  Well, the sentiment says it all!  I used music for the background and love love my penguin with his Santa hat!

This was a really fun box to make - again - don't forget - I'm making a dozen boxes!  So...this one I used the sketch from Elisabeth Bell's World and the challenge from BnW Challenge.  I love Elisabeth Bell's images - they are marvelous! I'm so into the instant gratification so I love getting the digis which you can find here - Elisabeth Bell's Designs I decided to use some "not so customary colors".  So....blue and green is what I chose!  You could just imagine what's going through this little one's head!  I used the 2-5-7-10 Box from Splitcoast Stampers!  Here's the tutorial 2-5-7-10 Box Tutorial.  It takes just 1-8-1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock and a few cuts and folds!  Too simple.  I added a Cricut flourish instead of flowers and I'm happy with it!   Hope you enjoy also - 10 more boxes to go!
