When I first started making this card, it brought back so many memories of my Grandfather. Going with him to the trash dump site in his old truck. Or sneaking out to eat at the local cafe after church. I'm sure there is an old truck somewhere in your memories.… Read More »

It can't more masculine than that! The main image was stamped using the Basic Black Craft Ink pad because I wanted a dark bold look and used the heat gun to speed up the drying time. After it was dried I… Read More »

I thought this card would be the perfect… Read More »

Good Morning Stampers! I spent most of the day in Springfield, MO visiting the eye surgeon for a routine post-operative appointment. Everything is as expected but it'll be a couple of months before I get my complete vision back. I came home and made this quick card. It was so easy it would qualify for Caroleanne and Sandi's 10 minute card. I made it for SUDSOL's sketch challenge of the… Read More »
