SC201 ~ I Moose You ~
November 5th, 2008 by Holly McMillen
I woke up very early this morning….. had to check to see if my man won the election (and he did!). I couldn’t go back to sleep, so I decided to try out the Sketch Challenge on SCS.
DH has been asking me to make a card for his best friend back in New York. Jay, his friend, calls at least twice a week and DH gets melancholy when they talk. They use to hunt together, and Jay likes to rub it in that he is hunting, while DH has to wait 6 months before he can get out and hunt (Colorado law).
I thought it appropriate to make Jay a card with a hunting ‘theme’, so I broke out my MFT sets Nature Calls and What’s Your Sign. Now, I am feeling like this card is missing something. It does not have my usual multiple layers, but the sketch really didn’t allow for it, so I guess I will just have to let it grow on me 🙂
I received an early birthday present yesterday from my aunties ($$) so I can do a little shopping….. that is what I will be doing today!!
Here are the deets on my card:
Stamps: My Favorite Things’ Nature Calls and What’s Your Sign
Colors: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Cool Caribbean, Basic Grey Two Scoops DP
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, Copics
Accessories: brads, ribbon, hole punch, houndstooth EF, scissors, dimensionals, word window punch
TFL and have a blessed day!
So sorry about the CO law–I am sure it is for a good reason–but too bad dh has to wait.
That is a CUTE moose!! I love the papers you used!! Guys don’t care about layers–so I think it is GREAT!!!!!
Have fun shopping!!!!
Love your card, Holly 🙂 A great masculine card with not too many layers so don’t fret. The moose is adorable and I love the different EF you used. You’ll have to send Jay a card when Don can hunt in CO and he can’t hunt out his way – heehee. Turn about is fair play, right (insert evil grin – lol)
Have FUN spending your birthday money 🙂 Ooooh I love it when I get cash and can go looking for something I want or buy something I wouldn’t normally spend money on myself for. Let us know what you find.
Cute card!!! I’m sure he’ll love it!!
Happy early birthday!!! Enjoy shopping for some new goodies. I can recommend Just Rite!! LOL!!! I just saw your comment on my card on SCS — thanks so much, you totally made my day!!! 🙂
