Anything Goes


It's been a challenge to get back to blogging, so my friend and I decided to do a weekly challenge for each other to get us motivated.  This last week we decided to make masculine cards, and this is one that I created.  I used a layout from a Just Add Ink challenge blog, and I am posting it to The Pink Elephant Card Challenge and Retro Rubber where the theme this week is Anything Goes.  Retro Rubber also reminded us to Remember Your Old Stamps!!  I used Perfect Blend, which was a stamp set I was so excited about, because I have a coffee passion, and I have seldome used it.  I think it is a great stamp set for my coffee loving sons, so I am going to make more cards before it retires in June.  At the Little Red Wagon the challenge was to use something with the letter B, and that's my bricks.  Well, thanks for the motivation from all of these challenges, and I have more cards to share soon. 
Hope you enjoy my card, and stop back again soon.

  7. Great card for anyone who loves coffee!! That definitely includes me. This stamp set is retiring and I have yet to use it... but no mind... it will be a great set for that perfect card! In reading your bio, it brings to mind that most of us paper crafters are just like you. I hope you will play often with RRBC!!
