Hi all... first of all I must apologize as I haven't been on the
computer for most of the month...I have missed stopping by your blogs.
Some of you know and some don't but we moved the last week of May/June 1
being our last day at our old place...let me just say....Moving just
isn't my cup of tea...blehhhh....in my case..I can't find anything and
it will take a good long time to get back to normal (whatever that
is...lol). BUT...I did manage to keep track of the awesome kit that our
lovely Diva hostess Jamie sent...I don't know how it happened but I'm so
glad it did...(I however had to hunt for tape, score board, cutter
etc). The lovely hostess for the Dazzlers was April this month...the two
cooked up a masculine kit for us to work with...Jamie, I loved the
wonderful kit...chock full of fun things to work with. I knew right away
I was going to use the night of navy SU paper along with the pretty
navy dsp...The brown dsp Jamie sent was a perfect compliment to the
navy...The images are from the SU set "The Open Sea" which I think are
the most perfect images for a masculine card. As you can see....I didn't
do any coloring and cut out the compass and put a star brad in the
center and then popped it up with mounting tape. I took the navy ribbon
and tied 3 knots in it and mounted it on the side of the card....
The inside looks like this.....
I
used the Bo Bunny dsp from the front and the brown paper Jamie sent
along as well...I used 3 brads and wrapped the bakers twine around each
brad to add a little to the inside (a personal challenge I am working on
--the inside of cards).
The sweet man I was privileged
to call "DAD" passed away about 5 years ago. He was patient, kind,
honest, loving and a really good sport about things. I have many
wonderful memories of my dad...The other man in my life I got to call
dad was my father-in-law....oh my what a man he was...he passed away in
1989 but I was very lucky to have been able to get to know him and so
were my girls...he loved us "girls" as he had 3 boys...and boy oh boy
did he spoil all of us...I have many fond memories of him as well...I
miss both of my dads....but hold them close to my heart...I truly have
been blessed....
Thank you for stopping by...I hope you
get a chance to stop by and see all the wonderful creations the Divas
and Dazzlers have in store for you...I am sure you will enjoy them...
P.S. Jamie thanks especially for the yummy chocolate inspiration...what a sweet treat...
Until next time,
Hugs,
Carol

Great job....and I give you so much credit for having to search for your tools, finding them and putting a great card together!!
Happy Birthday to you....I hope you had a wonderful day!!
Moving is such an awful thing for me, so I completely sympathize! I sure do hope that you find your treasures and get a craft space set up soon for you-your talent is too good to be dormant for very long! Please - you have to share it with us, we need it! LOL
Big Hugs and hope that your birthday was as special as you are!
Second, I love that you used the blues and browns together. They look great!
Third, you knotted the ribbon in a unique way that went with the theme so well.
Great post!
