Boy Fun

I have been creating the past couple of weeks, and I've even taken pictures of most of it. I just haven't gotten around to putting them up here to share. Sorry about that. Here is a layout I did for the baby scrapbook. I have 1 more made to post and one more double layout to make before I give it away. As is typical with me, the first layout goes on the left.
The mud puddles (free-handed) are a bit darker in person, the perfect 'murky' color! Both of the sentiments I printed for the background are from Ginger's House. One reads: Trucks and dirt and shades of blue, but little boys are angels too. And the other: Blue jeans and trucks, scrapes on his knees and running in the dirt and being a tease. I couldn't choose, so I used them both! The title is a font on SCAL2, the pockets are Penny Duncan's and the sock monkey Lea's. All of the files were free!Challenges-

For My Man

My husband asked me if I had a bookmark the other day and I didn't. So I made him one tonight and tucked it inside this 'manly' card. I have always had a hard time doing guy cards, because I tend to be 'girly' with my colors and style. So I kept this one simple, followed Papertake Weekly's sketch and added a fun embellishment. Here is the card (you can see a little of the bookmark on the side):
The image was so fab I didn't want to 'girl it up' by adding color. Now a close-up of my home made embellishment:It is a piece of plastic I found lying around (not super thick, but not paper thin either). I inked it (with a background stamp, didn't expect it to show), added embossing powder and heat it up. My husband will tell me I wasn't being safe (I burn myself all the time on my clue gun, he says I get hurt more crafting than doing anything else). You have to heat it a few seconds, hold something on the plastic to achieve the desired folding, then repeat until it looks like you want it to. You wouldn't have to use powder, I just wanted to add color.

Spidey!

So I went on a search for free digital stamps for boys. And I found a couple that were sporty, eh. Those are ok, but what about those boys who are into different things, like say, Spiderman?! I hit the jackpot on that one!
