BBQ Grilling

     Welcome to another weekly challenge at QKR Stampede where our theme is always Anything Goes!  Today I've used a masculine image called "BBQ Grilling 15008" and it's perfect for the guy who always burns the steaks.  :-D  The sentiment is also from QKR and is called "Life is Grand."  Remember, most of the QKR images are available as either digis or rubber stamps.

     What I used for this card:
ProMarkers
QuicKutz large rectangle die
Fussy cutting on sentiment
CAS design

Summer Days

     Ok, now that we've had consistently warm days for more than a week, I can believe that summer is right around the corner.  Unfortunately for me, I live in an area where it gets really HOT during our summer months and I hate the heat.  :-(  But I do love summer grilling so this cute image from Limited Runs for the latest Progressive Challenge was just what I needed.  I'll probably use this as a birthday card for my son since he not only has a summer birthday but he's a master at the grill (just ask him - he'll tell you!)

     I colored with ProMarkers, then cut the image with a Sizzix die. The pale yellow circle was cut with a die from QuicKutz.  The sentiment was printed and hand cut.  I found a bit of golden, satin ribbon in my stash and wrapped it around the kraft CS front.  I used one of my signature bows, leaving it white this time, and added only a pearl as I was sewing it.
