Friday Idea!


Sorry so late with the friday idea. My husband chose today to fix my computer that overheated about 3 weeks ago, since then I had been using my daughters which is fine except for the half-sized princess keyboard and mouse which I am pretty sure was causing carpal tunnel in my hands. I was thinking that I was going to have to file workman comps papers but then I realized that I don't really work for anyone so I would be just turning them in to myself and what good would that do?

Back to the subject at hand THE FRIDAY IDEA!

This is the card that I made for my neighbors confirmation last Sunday. Two issues came up while I was making this card. One, it is for a boy and as you know I don't have any boys in my family except for my husband of course so therefor I don't have any boyish stamps or any knowledge of what boys like. My other problem is confirmation is a religious event and sadly I don't have any religious stamp sets either. So I really had to stretch myself on this one.

Cardstock: Very vanilla, Chocolate chip
Ink: Chocolate chip
Stamp set: Doodle this (how versatile is this stamp set?)
Technique: I used a makeup sponge dipped in the chocolate ink to 'age' the edges of the card. The cross was cut out using my right angle skills and my handy dandy ruler.

I want to thank Melissa for sending me a copy of a card she just made, it will be featured as next weeks friday idea. If you want to be the friday idea send me a color photo of your card and I will be happy to share your talent with everyone.
