TS Monday Challenge

The challenge this week over at Totally Stampalicious is to make a card using fabric somewhere on your creation. I dug out this canvas sheet I bought years ago at a craft store we had in town. The store closed a couple of years ago and had remodeled at least once since I bought this stuff! It had a clearance tag on it, so I wonder how old it really is. It came in a pack of 5 sheets and was designed to be run through a printer.  I stamped on it using Sean from Totally Stampalicious. I colored on the canvas using Copic markers and frayed the edges a bit.
I went digging through my stash for my embellishments and came up with this metal tags that reminded me of boy stuff. They say "discover" and "explore" and came from the same store and situation as the canvas. I stamped the sentiment "A little dirt never hurt" on the inside. I found these old SU! papers in my stash and thought the colors were appropriate for a boy card, so I colored the image with these papers in mind.Then I was looking for a way to dress it up a little without it being too girly and lookie!!! The MS border punch matches the papers exactly!!! How cool is that???? I love it!! It's so cool when you are able to use some of those things you have in your stash and never used.
The challenge isn't the only reason to hop over to the TS blog this week. We will be having a blog hop later this week for the release of four more new images of Jodie Mackrell's designs! They are so cute!! So dig out some of that fabric I know you have in your stash and get stamping and enter it into the Monday challenge. Then be sure to stop back Thursday evening to join in the fun of the blog hop!! See you there!!

Totally Stampalicious Masculine Challenge

The challenge at Totally Stampalicious this week is to make a masculine card. Well, it's a youthful masculine card anyway. I used Sean, one of the recently released images that was originally a Bugaboo digi that is now available as an acrylic stamp from TS. I used some sparkly red, white, and blue striped paper for the background and added a bunch of punched stars around the image. I used the Sizzix bigz scallop square die to make the card base. Image layer is colored with Copic markers and popped up on dimensionals.
This image makes me laugh whenever I see it because it reminds me of my granddaughter. How, you ask? Well, for some silly reason that is unknown to anyone, now that my granddaughter has finally come up with what she is going to call me, she has tagged me "Sean". There is no one in our family named Sean and we have no idea where she got this. No matter how much my son and his wife have tried to correct her, she persists with the name. I don't mind the name and have accepted it as my new moniker.
Thanks for stopping in today. Be sure to stop over at the TS blog after you have made your masculine card for the challenge and post your link. They always have some cool prize up for grabs!
