You Are A Cute Above the Rest Card

Scrapbook Steals celebrated their fourth birthday last week.  So on Thursday, they issued four challenges to help celebrate the occasion!  I have not had a ton of layout mojo lately, but I have been doing well with card making.  Most of the cards I have been making will go to Operation Write Home, which is giving me even more inspiration I think.  So, I thought I would share the card I made yesterday for the SS Birthday Challenge #4 - Washi Fever.  Our challenge was to use four different washis on a project.  When I saw that this week's Kiwi Lane DT Doodles was card sketches, I knew I was going to use one for this challenge.  I decided on the first sketch and picked out my ledger paper washi for the wave spot (using a Spooky Lane template).  Once I had decided on the "school" paper look, I went with my WRMK kit I won over at SS.  Since I don't have many shape templates, I went with the triangles to make sort of a star shape.  I used two different washis - one on each triangle - to add some color and interest.  The tag is also washi covered cardstock - this time with a blue stripe and then more of the ledger paper on top.  I finished it off with a sticker from WRMK.  I love how simple this card was to make!

A Manly Layout!

With Fathers' Day this weekend in many parts of the world, the new challenge over at Use It Tuesday is all things masculine!  

Your job is to use something in your stash to make a masculine project.  It can be a card, altered item, layout, etc.  As long as it is masculine and included hoarded items, it counts!  Just make sure to mention Use It Tuesday in your post as well as your hoarded item(s).

I decided to make a layout this time around of my son, husband, and father-in-law.  I used some OLD WRMK Out and About papers and embellishments for this layout.  I have had them for at least 2 years, and I still have a ton!  I don't think I had touched them in almost a year, which is kind of sad because they are so fun.

 I used the current Paper Bakery sketch for this layout.  With all of the flags, it was easy to use a variety of papers.  I used some of the embellishments from the line as well as fussy cutting to decorate the page.

Now it is your turn!  We can't wait to see what you create :)
