Hello hello and happy Wednesday!  I was totally challenged yesterday...  not only I made not one but two projects...  Holy cow! Plus, they are 'manly'.  And without further adieu, here they are:

Project 1:  

I created a tag for the Farm Fresh Challenge, the theme is Anything but a card.  So, I used one of my 'messed up' mixed media tag with the My Guy Ian set, then I created another cool background by using the Dyluison stencil, and finally I added the super cool duck tape.

Project 2:

Here is a card that I made for my father in law, he loves golf...  And today is his birthday!   Happy happy Birthday!  For the image, I used this super cool golfer called Earl from Art Impression Golden Oldies collection (which was embossed, then colored with watercolor pencil).  I created the background using the Hero Arts birthday stamp, the paper is from My Mind's Eye Stella Rose, then I added some ribbon & twine, a super cool banner from Memory Box Simple Banner die, and some Prima blings.

Challenges:
Creative Craft Challenge 2 - Bingo (Blue, Stamp, Emobss)
