Anniversary Monkey

Currie used Basic Gray paper and Copic markers and the embellishments are brads.

This is for the couple that has a sense of humor.  Acutally John found this saying and wanted to make it into a stamp.

If you would want to use the Happy Anniversary stamp for your spouse, you can just cut off the bottom part of the saying, we left enough room.

Picnic Basket in the spotlight

I wanted to make a card that had our theme for this month but you could use it more than just for a picnic.  I thought of Life is a Picnic as a 'just because' card.

All of the stamps are from Crackerbox Palace.  I cut out the circle with Spellbinder and the white and red card stock were punched.

King of the Grill Pig

This was done with Crackerbox Palace stamps and we only have a couple of days left with this theme.  I can't wait to show you what we have for next week.

The hotdog in the bun that is in the corner and the 3 hotdogs on the grill are cut from the 2 hotdogs that are on the stick.  This one is pretty staright forward, stamp, color, cut and glue.  The scalloped square is Spellbinders and the coloring was done with Copic Markers.

Do you like pickles with your hamburger?

I used Crackerbox Palace stamps and Copic markers to color.  The hamburger is cut out and I used a pop dot behind it.  The jar was stamped and cut out of white cs and also acetate.  When I cut the acetate out, I cut out tabs or wings on the straight sides of the jar so I could wrap the acetate around the jar cut out of card stock. 

The tag and matting behind the hamburger is from Spellbinders, the green card stock is punched from Martha Stewart and the embossed background is from Tim Holtz Fades with a little brown ink rubbed over top of it.

BBQ Fun with Bull

Sorry for not getting a card up yesterday, the clock worked faster than I did. 

But here is one for today, only 4 more days left for this theme and then I will have some other super great cards that Currie came up with that I can't wait to share with you.

One of the things John likes most on the grill is a steak, so we had our artist draw us one.  I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. It took me a few weeks to figure out how to use it, but then I found the bull.  We have sweet looking cows that I might use with it later.  I guess this is just my slightly twisted humor, I hope it will give a few chuckles.

What can I say about this other than it is pretty straight forward, stamps color with Copic markers and mounted.  I did put clear Gloss on the bulls feet and whites of his eyes. I used a deckle scissors for the edge on the tan cs and Spellbinder for the steak plate.

Great Food Great Friends

Well we have one more week of our picnic theme.

The tag is cut out from a Spellbinder.  The edge is punched from EK Success chain punch and ribbon is threaded through it.  The blue fence like punch is a Martha Stewart punch. I was showing a stamper the new Cuttlebug Quilling flowers at the store and cut off a piece so it wasn't so long and put it aside.  After the stamper left, I still had the cut off piece and curled it up and used it on this card as the white flower. 

 The stamps are Crackerbox Palace stamps and colored with Copic markers.

Dog-gone Special Hotdogs

Currie made another great card for anyone, but it does look like any guy would like it.  Guy cards are sometimes a challange but this one is a good one.

She stamped the images and colored them.  She added Glossy Accents used on the bun seeds.  Vintage Photo Distress ink for the aged look.  Ranger blue embossing powder for the saying. 

Mustard seed colored eyelets for the eyelets and jute string really adds interest.
