dddt-challenge-outside.jpg    My oh My, it’s Friday again.

It’s that time again… the Dirty girls have posed a challenge to the group.  We were to make a patriotic card (our interpretation) and we were to decorate the inside and the envelope! 

I knew I wanted to make this BBQ invite, in fact, I need to make 4 more, as we are having a small gathering (BBQ) here on the 4th.   I need to get these mailed TODAY!!   Nothing like waiting til the last minute..lol. 

I knew this image from Hambo (www.hambostamps.com) was perfect and thanks to Monica for suggesting the little hamburger to go along with it!!   I don’t own any ‘invite’ sets, so I had to handwrite the inside and the “You’re Invited” sentiment.

Oh, and we were not allowed to use ribbon!!  The horror!! :)  Instead, I crimped a piece of blue paper to give just a little more texture.  I cuttlebugged the white piece with the bubbles EF, as it looks like tiny hamburger buns, to me!

Here’s my deets:

Stamps:  BBQ Man, Hamburger and ‘Summer’ sentiment by Hambo Stamps.

Colors: Brilliant Blue, GP White, Real Red

Accessories: brads, dimensionals, scissors, blue fine tip marker, cuttlebug, crimper

TFL!~ and have a blessed day~

Oh Holly, this is too cute. I actually laughed out loud as this could be my hubby on the card. He is a wonderful cook (lucky for us as my cooking is far from good!) and is a mean BBQer too. Like how you have his hat cut out of the box. A very welcoming invitation :)

Great RW&B, layout and lots of wonderful details as always. Well done with the crimping in lieu of the ribbon too.

Do we get a sketch this week…..know the BBQ invites are first and foremost so no worries if not, just thought I’d ask.
