Gears
Oh, Shaker cards give me the willys!! I have such a hard time with them, but I still gave it a shot this week at http://cardz4guyz.blogspot.com/ . It took me THREE hours to finish this card, but all in all I am quite happy with it.

Gear Paper - Single sheet rack at Michael's
Sentiment - Stamped with Stazon ink using an old rubber stamp
Embossing - Cuttlebug "Gears" folder
Black Frame - Cricut cartridge image cut on Explore
I added two metal" gears" by Bead Landing from Michael's, couple of BB-like balls, silver and black metallic stars. To the scalloped circle I adhered some snaps (kind used on clothing), I don't have very many shaker items for a male shaker card. Sorry the card is crooked, trying to take photo at night and had to use a flash. Too much refection from the acetate.

The Male Room



Fireman Boy & His Dog

Had so much fun making this card. At first I thought it would be too complicated to make....so many layers, but once I started putting it together it just fell into place so easy and was not complicated after all! And, I think it is a great sketch and is one I will use again, soon.

 

Image - Is a Dearie Dolls "Fireman Boy" digi.

Cardstock - Scrap box, so proud of myself lately for going to my scrap box and using up my scraps instead of always starting with a whole new sheet for one small cut.

Embossing - Cuttlebug "Houndstooth" (banners) and "Cane Back Chair" (yellow panel) folders.

Photo Corner - Is a metal die from My Little Paper World Co.

Sentiment - I created text and printed out on my Explore.

Added silver brads to the Wheels. I also used my trusty Gelly Roll Clear Glitter pen on the helmet's badge and on the bell....love to add a little bit of sparkle to kids cards.

Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge

Using this nice sketch by Melissa at http://tuesdaymorningsketches.blogspot.ca/ to make this card with this awesome quote by Henry Ford. I believe it is perfect for anyone going through some sort of "turbulence" in their life and could use some comfort.

 

Map Pattern Paper - Printed on computer

Sentiment - Internet download

Plane - Is a Provo Craft metal mini die, plane is cut from shimmery silver cardstock and matted with Dk. Blue . I added pop dots under it, it looks so cool like it is actually flying waaaay up high above the clouds!!

Banners - Cut on the Explore. The light blue banner and the stripped panel I used my CuttleBug "Clouds" folder to emboss them.

The Paper PLayers

This card I made using the sketch at http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/ designed by LeAnne  and  thought it was perfect to make a Shaker card. I used a 3" plastic dome for the shaker, the digi of thekitty, (sorry  don't have the name/designer of it).  I used a clear glitter Gellyroll pen to highlight the balloon and ears. I added gems, glitter, sequins and a gem flower. The birthday paper is a scrap, on the pink panel I used a corner punch and matted them with pink glitter cardstock for sparkle. The panel is embossed with a "Tide" folder. The banners are cut using a red semi-sheer ribbon with glittery hearts on it.

Mojo Monday

Howdy!
I created this western themed card using this week's sketch at http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ . Living out here in Arizona you see lots of cowboys and boots and you hear a lot of "Howdy Pardner" greetings. I was gifted a southwestern Cuttlebug embossing folder by my sister-in-law, Donna, a while back and I finally made a card using this folder for a background. I like the way it turned out.
I don't own any of the stitch dies to use as on this sketch, so I used my trusty Tim Holtz ruler that has piercing holes on it and used it. So, my card ended up with holes instead of stitches...oops!!
*Boot -  Is a matted image using a Cricut cartridge and cut on Explore. I added a silver brad to the top of the boot and to the center of the spur. 
*Howdy Pardner - Is also a matted Cricut image and cut on Explore. I added a "Lasso" I made from the threads of gunny sack fabric..
*Happy Birthday - Is also cut and printed on my Explore.
*Star - Is actually an iron-on star  made of fabric.
*Background Embossing - Is a Cuttlebug "Pueblo" folder.
