Berry Dirty

Finally, sometime to myself so that I could craft.  I was so happy to find some quite time today and definitely took advantage of it.  I created this layout for my grandson's album.  

  

The strawberries are from the Indie Art cart and the title is from the Printing Press cart that was pre-loaded on my Gypsy. I popped the smaller strawberries, added some red stickles and used my white gel pen to outline the strawberries.

 

 I kept the title simple only using my white gel pen here and there.  It was the first time I used this font and I love it. Must use it more often.

The last thing I did was distress the edges with white craft ink.  I printed the pics on plain paper just to give me a better idea of how I wanted to place the pics but I will replace them with regular pictures.  The layout is 8x8 and is simple.  I think it's my style...I don't usually add alot to my layouts. 

See below for another simple layout that I had intended to submit to M.A.G. Challenge by the Page this week but missed the deadline. The challenged called for Create a Critter, page 59 ~

 Pretty simple, don't you think?  Anyway, this is all for tonight.  I'm hoping to get another layout done by Sunday. Thanks for stopping by.

Sending you crafting wishes,

Challenge #30 @ M.A.G. Challenge by the page

Well, I finally got my card ready for this week's challenge over at M.A.G. Challenge by the page.  I had hoped to get it done yesterday and then be able to photograph it outside but unfortunately that was not possible.  My husband went in for a double hernia surgery on Monday and his recovery is keeping me busy. Poor guy, he looks tough on the outside but is so weak on the inside. No tolerance for pain.  Thank goodness he didn't have to give birth to any children, he would've quit after the first one......

Anywho, now onto my card. I made it with him in mind. It's not a get well card but I'm hoping it will cheer him up.

The challenge called for using pg. 54 of the Smiley Cards cart. This cart was a digital download with the purchase and registration of the gypsy earlier this year.

I decided to use the main image, the happy little magnet.

Something about his happy face made me think of my husband and what a great relationship we have.  Friendship is definitely the key for us. 

I kept it pretty simple since I didn't have much time to figure out paper and embellishments, etc.

Since I don't have a large collection of stamps, I decided to handwrite my sentiment.  Either way, it's good to practice handwriting, in this day and age of technology, handwriting is becoming a lost art.

Inside message

Here's one last look at the card.

Well, my crafty ladies, this all for tonight. I have to get up early tomorrow for work. 

I encourage you to swing by M.A.G. Challenge by the Page and check out the next challenge. I know I can't wait!!

Thanks for stopping by!
