Today's card is for someone special!  **NOTE: I hope he isn't reading this post! He hasn't been on my blog in awhile so he probably isn't! LOL! Today's card is for Trav ❤️. I just looooooooooove him to pieces and this card is perfect for him! I used the PS Bosom Buddy, Smoocheroos, and Chilly Chums stamp sets. I also used the Chilly Chum Icons dies. The papers are from the Becky Higgins Project Life: Jade Edition set. LOVE x1000000000! 

That's it for me today! I hope you will join in the fun--- you could win a $50 gift certificate to the PS store!!! Be sure to stop by HERE to link up and to play along!

I've created a super simple CAS card that can be included in the "Sav Challenges"- actually, all three of my challenges [CAS, masculine, using stash]!! LOVE it! I'm really doing awesome at my own challenges:)

I created this card after seeing THIS masculine card on Pinterest. I totally love when I get inspired and can recreate it (almost exactly) using my PS stamps! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I wanted a simple card for Poppie's birthday which is later this week. The papers are perfect and from my Project Life Becky Higgins Jade edition. I used my FAV ink {Imagine Crafts Memento Luxe Espresso Truffle} along with stamps from the PS Buckaroo, Birthday Sampler, and Incognito sets. EASY! LOVE! 

Happy birthday, Poppie!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paper Smooches SPARKS: January Designer Drafts challenge

Hello, friends:}

Today we start another weekly challenge over at Paper Smooches SPARKS blog!! This week we are sharing a DESIGNER DRAFT challenge. 

This week we are inspired by the following sketch:

**Sentiments can be placed anywhere on the sketch.

Ok---so I think I'm on a roll for 2015--- well this is the first sketch so I'm doing good so far:) I'm following sketches! LOL! I think I followed this sketch 98%! That's WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAY more than EVER before! The only change I made is that I took away the scalloped edge.

I used the Becky Higgins Project Life Coral edition for the papers.  I thought they were very masculine and could be used for my Father-In-Law's bday card. Once I had the idea for this card, I pulled out the new PS Incognito stamp set and stamped the mustache in both Imagine Crafts Rich Cocoa and Espresso Truffle  inks. I thought it would give the mustache good texture- LOL! To finish the card, I added a die cut sentiment into a speech bubble die cut (using the PS Birthday Words and Speech Bubbles dies). EASY! Happy birthday, Kevin!!!!!!!!!!!

That's it for me today--but be sure to stop by the other Paper Smooches SPARKS DT members' blogs, get inspired, and leave them some love.
