Be Yourself- LTC

Happy Monday, Crafty Friends!
Second Post Today!!

It's Time for another Super Fantastically Fun Challenge at Love To Create! Make Sure you join us this week for the Challenge & Stop by the Blog to see what our talented DT has Come Up with for your Viewing Pleasure!

This week our fabulous sponsors are :
The Stamping Chef

& Eureka Stamps

Our Challenge This Week is :

Wrap it Up- String, Twine or Fibers

The Image I chose from The Stamping Chef is Soccer Sandy!

I made this Card because of my 5 year old Lizzy! She Loves Soccer and her school colors and her uniform are orange and black. She loved this card when she saw it! She just wanted the number to say #5, since that is her number. I added the sentiment b/c I want to remind Lizzy to always be herself. She is a sweet, crazy, special, unique little girl who marches to her own beat, and I always want her to be the same!

Please Note: Normally I do NOT know the names of all the papers or the other materials I use b/c they are either something I had from years ago, or it's something that has been given to me.

Happy Birthday

This is my Second Post today! If you are looking for QKR Stampede Anything Goes Challenge, please Scroll down

--------------------------------------------------------------

Sassy Studio Designs is Sponsoring this week's Challenge at Card Makin Mamas.

The Theme is HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I decided to do a More Masculine Birthday Card as I shamefully had to give my brother in law a very Female looking card for his birthday this week, since I ran out of time to make him a card. I mean I know the Hippo in a tutu is cute, but maybe not for a 33 year old male, right? So hopefully, the next time I need a male Birthday card, this one will be much better.

I used the Image Lager Pin Up. I colored this gorgeous lady up with copic markers and highlighted her with white Gel Pen.

Please Note: Normally I do NOT know the names of all the papers or the other materials I use b/c they are either something I had from years ago, or it's something that has been given to me.
