Good Morning Crafty Friends,

This is the new FREEBIE on the

Catch the Bug Challenge Blog.

BB Basketball Boy

Isn't this a wonderful boy-image!

I love it and even though my grandboys do not play basketball

they will love it too.

So I found some on,ine baskeball image and made it into a digital

background, printed it as design paper.

Colored the image with my Stampin'Blends (these are

markers by Stampin'Up!), cut out the image and 

glued it to the blue background and cut it out with a 

small border. The sentiment is printed with the computer

and I found this piece of star ribbon in my stash.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and'

keep crafting!

Happy Birthday, Owen!

Today my first-born grandson Owen is already celebrating

his 7th birthday. I still remember the day he was born,

Now he is such a big boy: he can read, write and draw

beautifully. He swims, loves to help in the kitchen and

of course do games on his ipad. He is a very good

Pokémon player and loves everything about it, so

here is his card:

I found some digital Pokémon paper on Etsy

and printed this for the background.

The images are all from the internet and

cut out by hand. The letters of his name

are thinlits by Stampin'Up! and the

birthday sentiment is by Tim Holtz.

Here a close up of all the images.

He loved it that I got all the right ones!

This is the inside of the card.

Thank you foor looking

and have a creative day!

Card Captain day 2: For the boys.

Day 2 of being the card captain in the 

Enjoy Michael Strong group.

This card is also for the challenge

on the Simon Says Wednesday Blog.

The theme is: For the Boys.

My grandson loves wild animals

like lions and elephants. He is going to 

school to learn to read and write after the

Summer, so I am keeping this for him.

I made the background with the direct to paper 

technique and these two colors of distress oxide ink.

Start by adding the ink to the craft sheet

and spray a few drops of water on it.

Take the background panel and rub it over the craft 

sheet to pick up the ink. You can do it a fewtimes until 

you are satisfied with the result. Let the panel dry.

In the mean time I stamped the elephant (by Michael Strong)

in hickory smoke oxide distress ink.

Then cutting out the elephant and punching out

the printed sentiment.

Now that the panel is dry I stamped some flowers

on it that go with the elephant stamp set. For this

I used the hickory smoke oxide distress ink again.

After assembling the card I finished of with

a few black sequins.

The sentiment is by Create with TLC.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!

Wecome little ones!

We are overjoyed to meet this new addition to our family!

They arrived, yesterday June 30 2015.

And of course I had to make a card to welcome them:

These crazy bird stamps by Tim Holtz in

 combination with his baby stamps are just perfect.

For rhe background i used two kinds of stencils

and on the birds another stenil with thee spots

to make themmore interrested to look at.

Fot the baby boys I added some blue flowers

to give it amore cute look.

The sentiment is from my stash

by an unknown company.

I added glossy accent to the baby bottle and the rattle.

Bothe colored with a brush and distress ink with water

from my craft sheet.

We are going to have a lot of fun!!

Have a creative day!

Club Scrap Dungerees: Boy card

Inspired by these paint swiped cards that seem

to pop up all over lately, I made this boy card

with Club Scraps Dungerees papers and stamps.

It fits the theme of boys perfectly and is 

so easy to do. You need two colors of

distress paint for the swiping

and the dotted background is made with the matching

distress inks and a dotty Club Scrap stencil (Dec 2011).

On top of the colors the stamps are stamped directly

with black ink and glued to the blue card.

This is the inside of the card

with the sentiment stemped in two

colors and a piece of cut off from the

front glued here.

Hope you will come back tomorrow

for the design team from the 

Technique Junkies 

will present a new CD 

with lots of new techniques

and samples full of inspiration.

Have a creative day!
