BOY (n) A noise with dirt on it.

Right now I'm working my way through Justified on Netflix,
so I had cowboys on my mind when I was making this boy's card  :-)

I used a rectangle nestie to cut a couple of 'windows' in my card panel - and foam pads to attach it over some blue card.
The cowboy is coloured with Copics, fussy cut and attached with foam pads.
(I really need to buy shares in a foam pad company!!)
Originally my cowboy is holding a lasso, but I cut that bit off and gave him a balloon instead.
Lastly, I added the die cut letters for my sentiment.

So... it's monday morning and the sun is shining.
Time to put my whirly gig back out in the garden.
The only trouble is - I spent 10 minutes looking and I can't find the hole!!
Stop sniggering you lot  :o)

Here's my card for CAS(E) the Sketch.

I'm not totally happy with this card. I don't really like the dotty paper just plonked on like that.
Maybe I should have made it into a tag. Ah well, next time.

Supplies.
Digi Stamp - Bugaboo, coloured with Copics.
Dotty paper was just a scrap I found in my paper box.
I don't have a 'polaroid' style die, so I hand cut this one, with a craft knife.
'Happy' is a sizzix die. 'Birthday' is from HeroArts typewriter set.
Sewuins and Gems.

Not now Cato !

JUMP - has been going round in my head all day.
It's the cue word for this week's CASology challenge.
For my card I used a jumping ninja !

This type of card layout keeps popping up on my blog travels, so I thought I would try it out and
I can tell already, that it's going to be one of my 'go to' designs. It's so quick and easy to do.

It's hard to see from my pics, but the white card, ninja and part of the sentiment are all popped up on foam pads. I go through such a ridiculous amount of this foam - I need to bulk buy it!

Now, I need to go and find out just exactly HOW you party like a ninja !!!

Challenges.
CASology - Jump
Cardz for Guyz - Clean and Simple (they also have a DT call)

Supplies.
Digi Stamp - Bugaboo Ninja, coloured with Copics.
Digi DP - Pink Petticoat, Woodgrain
Party Stamp - Magazine Freebie, and the rest of the sentiment was made up on my comp.
Black and Crystal Gems

As soon as I saw the 'party' theme I knew I wanted to use this tequila girl from Bugaboo and, because a girl can't go to a christmas party without a bit of glitz, I added some fine pink glitter to her dress.

Digi Stamp - Bugaboo, JJTequila and Shoes, coloured with Copics.

Design Paper - Kaiser Craft - La Di Da.     Fine Glitter is making Memories Shimmer.     'Party' was die cut with Sizzix, Bug in a Rug Alphabet.    Streamers were cut on my Slice, 'Parties' design card.

Totally Papercrafts #39 Stick A Number On It !

***  Happy Birthday to Joey ***

She hits the big 30 at the end of the month, so her theme for this week's Totally Papercrafts Challenge is

'STICK A NUMBER ON IT'

Joey is also offering some scrummy Birthday Blog Candy,  so check out her blog for details.

Here's my project - I made an Easel Card Calendar with a drawer underneath.
Don't forget to check out the fab work of the DT.

For the drawer box I followed Holly's great tutorial, over at Splitcoaststampers.  Then just added an easel card to the top.  Don't you just love this image and the quote - it's from our sponsors this week - Bugaboo.
Check out their digi stamps, they have something for everyone -  cutesy stuff,  to my fav,  'ladies with attitude'.
I used the gorgeous papers from Kaiser Craft - La Di Da - that pink stripe is flocked, so it has a lovely texture to it.

Digi Stamp - Bugaboo, MStellaTid Morning Smile, coloured with Copics.
DP - Kaiser Craft, La Di Da      Large Fabric Brad, coloured with a Copic to match the paper.
Ribbon and Mini Calendar from my stash.
