Ye be me best Treasure Matey!

Hi Everyone!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.  I am so ready for Spring to be here.  I can hear the birdies starting to chirp in the mornings and the hummingbirds are back..yahoo!!!

I made this card for a friend to give to her son.  I used some of the new digis that Teri of Delicious Doodles just added not long ago.  You can find them at SBDS.  I used Pirate Pete and Treasure Map.

I kept the design pretty simple since it is for a teenage boy...lol  Can't have anything too girly now can we.  I stained and aged the map with left over coffee and distressed the heck out of it.   Love the pirate skull & crossbones that I added.

I do think it came out pretty good, I am entering him into the following challenges:

• Creative Card Crew Masculine
• DYSU Distress
• Forever Night Anything Goes, keep it Dark
• Fussy & Fancy More than Words
• HotShot Craft One for the Boys
• Jellypark Celebrate Favorite Film ( Pirates of the Caribbean)
• Just for Fun Distress for a Man
• Sisterhood of Crafters Use a Digi
• Southern Girls Distressing
• Stamp Scrap & Doodle Manly

Whatever!

Hi Everyone!

I am still excited about having won the December Challenge at The Corrosive Challenge Blog in December.    This is my last GDT post for February.

Our Challenge for the next couple of weeks is "Another Dimension"  It's open to interpretation, you decide what that means to you...lol   Check out all the wonderful DT creations for some inspiration.

I made this card for Maddie.  She is at that "attitude" stage..lol   I am entering my "Whatever!"  card into the following challenges:

• Allsorts Free & Easy
• Card Crafters Circle To Die For
• DYSU Layers
• Totally PaperCrafts Ribbons & or Bows
• Sarah Hurley Die Cuts

I used some of my favorite tools to create my card.  My cuttlebug and Nesties, my copics.  One of my label punches, added some ribbon, bow with black button.  Used up DP & cardstock from my stash.

I distressed my card to an inch of it's life.  Used my fingers and hands, kinda like that look better than some of the distressing tools.  Amazing that I haven't gotten any paper cuts yet...lol

Tiddly Inks is the sponsor for February.  Don't forget to visit, Christy has some cutie patootie digis!

Here's a little blurb about Christy the owner: I am a self-trained illustrator who likes simple, cute and quirky drawings with a sense of humor. I draw what amuses me, which means some days it is quirky and cute and other days I come up with a bit of twisted gothic feel. I hope you like them as much as I do. My personal professional illustration portfolio can be found at http://christycroll.com.
