Tool Bag for Father's Day

Hi! Good morning! Today Im sharing with you this fun tool bag using the beautiful die cuts from Our Daily Bread Timeless tote and tool set. I have had these die cuts for years and my girlfriend made my an adorable bag for Christmas. The measurements are 5" x 2" x 4" so it is really a nice size to put all kinds of goodies inside. 

Here is a side view....I love the mesh sides...Most of the examples I seen are for cute girly bags but I decided to make mine for a man.

I used the mesh side for more pockets in the back too. 

The front pocket has room for a gift card or a note with a magnetic closure. 

The inspirations:

You Drive Me Wild!

Good Morning!

I can't believe another weekend is over already and it already Monday!

I was able to get some cards made this weekend....here is my latest for a guy.

No flowers or ribbon...tough one for me to do! LOL

I thought I could make a Valentine for a guy and this is the ending result. 

The papers are from Graphic 45 once again in my stash. I used kraft cardstock and printed up the sentiment on the computer. The heart is from Verve. I just added some stickles in black.

Tee Time

Hi everyone! 

Sharing today a new card made for a guy! I rarely make these kind of cards..and I don't know why? Some guys DO like cards...Here I'm using some old leftovers from Graphic 45, A proper gentlemen. I'm not a golfer but so many guys are golfers and this paper is perfect for them. I used a stopwatch from Cheery Lynn Designs and then I just printed out the title on a small circle with Radio flyer font from free fonts.com

The cream cardstock I distressed a bit with inks. and well I had the perfect matching ribbon so I added it....the horse made me think of ribbons..lol

Lots of layering but easy to mail....just a few pop dots under the clock.and title.

Thanks for stopping by....

Have a Tee-rific day!

Life's Storms With Cheery Lynn Designs

Hi, It's Lisa here this week sharing a manly card inspired by this week's challenge with Cheery Lynn Designs. I really dont make many man cards...but this week's challenge was a great inspiration to make some manly cards that I could really use in my stash! 

I have been thinking about a theme for quite some time... I LOVE nautical cards....Perfect!

The Mayflower is amazing! As well as the Pierced Banner and the Ship's Compass. I distressed the compass in blue distressed ink on the edges and in the center.  I also added some copper brads on all the corners and one in the center of the compass. The copper colored brads match the sentiment perfectly. 

I also wanted to add a bit of yarn and my son made me this cute little sailor knot. (Thank you Scotty)  The incredible ship and Compass really makes this card! I also wanted to add a bit more of the yarn throughout the card too. Behind the ship you can see a little bit of burlap. 

Cheery Lynn Diecuts Used:

DL303 Pierced Banners (Set of 3)

B276 Mayflower

B395 Ship's Compass

Thank you so much for stopping by to see my "man" card! Be sure to stop by this week's challenge "Make It Manly" challenge for a chance to win $20 to the Cheery Lynn Store.

Farewell Heartfelt Wednesday's "Call Me"

Well, today I am sharing with you my last post with Heartfelt Creations. I have been with HC for 18 months now and well, this time when the new DT was chosen...I did not make it. I was a bit sad this past weekend, for I really try to make projects that I believe the scrapbooking/cardmakers enjoy. Perhaps the public is looking for something new and fresh...Well, I suppose it is not meant to be? Maybe God has a new plan for me in the future.... Meanwhile, I have really enjoyed being part of a wonderful company and I really hope all the best for the New Design Team. 

So here is my final card made for HC, it is part of the new collection this month called "balmy breeze". It has wonderful beach stamps and these ducks that are super great for that guy in your life. 

Im not much of a colorer...as I have mentioned in the past. But the neutrals were good to use with the background paper called "back country"

Here is a side view....with a little bit of pop dots. 

Hope you have a great day...I sure will miss it all! 

A big Thank You to all of my Heartfelt followers out there! I really have appreciated all your support and wonderful comments throughout the past 18 months...I read them all! 

hugs

Heartfelt Wednesday's *Bon Voyage*

Can you believe it is another Heartfelt Wednesday? I tell you I sometimes don't know where the days go? Well, I usually work on my projects on Saturday's since that is the day I'm off to work on them for sure....and I usually finish them in the same day...thank goodness because we have deadlines to make for the DT....Well, this card was made way earlier....I guess it is because it comes easier for me with this new "Balmy Breeze" collection. I just love the water and everything about it. So this card is more for a man with no flowers, ribbons or anything girly. I rarely do cards for men because I have a hard time making them but, i really like the way this card came out today. :)

Lots of embossing on this 5 x 5 card, but the good news it only took about an hour or less to make. 

Beautiful stamps and so refreshing even if it is black and neutral colors. Love the little anchors too. My daughter helped me with the title/sentiment. She speaks fluent French...so that was her inspiration for a title. Thank you Roxy! Muah!

Thanks for looking...have a great week! Be sure to stop by Heartfelt Creations Blog for more beautiful cards and projects from our DT.

Happy Birthday Old Buzzard!

Hi, Today is my husband's birthday :)

He is only 45 but we have this joke about calling each other old buzzard's sometimes....mostly becasue it gets harder to wake up for work in the morning and we tend to go to bed early....so we feel like old buzzards....lol 

So I wanted to make him a card with a buzzard and yet I needed it to be manly...I have had this pirate paper for a long time...so I finally used it. I also made the treasure chest out of black cardstock. I stamped woodgrain from Heartfelt Creations and embossed it in gold ink. I didnt have any gold coins so they are made out of gold paper and embossed with my cuttlebug. It is the same measurements as the tissue box in my earlier post. 

The balloons and bubble were made with my cricut and I just added quilling paper for strips and cut out one of the jolly roger's and glued it to the top of the balloon. The buzzard is a clipart printed out and I colored it with copic markers.

This is the first manly card I have made since Feb! Yikes! 

Have a great day! 

A "Manly" Valentine Card

Good Afternoon,

Im here today with a "Manly" valentine card for your special man in your life. I LOVE flowers but I really wanted to make a card that focused more on looking like a guy kind of card. It does have ribbon and hearts....I cant totally make it girl free....lol

I used Graphic 45- A Proper Gentlemen cardstock...it was perfect for the theme I was going for today. I added red and black paper to give it a bit of a romantic feel too...

This card is for the VLVJAN2012 #3 sketch @ verve....i just love their sketches..... :)

As you can see I added pop dots for a bit of a 3d look....ok i admit im addicted to them....

Hope you are inspired by my "Manly" Valentine.....TFL
