Fishing line on my door?

Hi everyone!

I love to think of cards to make the guys out there! My very outdoorsy husband would love this card if he needed a "pick me up!" So, expand your ideas and see where your cardmaking takes you to include the men in our lives!

I really thought about putting real fishing line on this card, but getting it to glue down can get messy! So instead, I am pretending that its there! Isn't that what we are doing anyway with papercrafts? Well, these are always items I find at my door, thanks for stopping by!

Supplies used: Stamps: Inky Antics "worm on hook w/sentiment, lure in background; inks: Palette Hybrid, My Screen Door template (see below for my info on ordering info).

Birdie Mail outside my Screen Door

Here is a card that I made that again, shows off my screen door card. It's so versatile, whatever you can imagine on your front porch, stoop or whatever, you can stamp it and place it next to your front door. And really, who doesn't like getting mail? Snail or e? Most of us like to feel like we've made a connection with someone! Thanks for stopping by...

Supplies: Stamps used: Inky Antics: Birdie Mail & "You've Got Mail" Sentiment; Prismacolor Pencils w/Gamsol & Brad misc. source unknown.

Softball Season Ends with a Note of Thanks!

Our very, very long baseball, softball & TBall seasons ended over the weekend and with that, out came my creativity! Our twins softball coach was such a great coach! So, I made him this card, hope you like it! Thanks for looking! It's really fun to sew on paper! I got my embroidery floss out and punched my holes first, then took the needle, gave it a thread, then went around the "baseball" to give it real looking stitches.

I cannot live without my Copic markers. I used these colors to color my baseball glove in a leather looking color scheme.
