WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY WWC 231 - TRISTON'S "ALL ABOUT OCCASIONS" CHALLENGE

Wow, another week gone - just like that!   This week's Challenge is all about occasions.     I made a Masculine card suitable for a birthday.   I had to study up on how to make a "Shaker Card".   I don't know why, but they always seem to be difficult to do.   I have used my favorite stamp set and die cuts.   I also shaded the background around the sailboat.   Makes it look like a storm is building if you look at the closeup.

WATERCOOLER WEDNESDAY WWC 230 KATH'S MASCULINE "ANYTHING GOES" CHALLENGE


Yahoo!    I was picked as a runner-up in WWC230 - Thank You Ladies on the Design Team.   Very much appreciated - also my son loved his card!



Hi Everyone!
I hope you are enjoying the Summer!   Last year I  moved back to the Lower Mainland to Abbotsford,  and am really enjoying the community.   There is so much to do and the fruits and vegetables - well there is no comparison.   Everything is so fresh.   We recently had fresh corn on the cob - Yummy!

My card this week is a Horizontal Pop-up-Card with a Motorcycle theme.    It is for my son's birthday tomorrow.   He will be 56!    My, oh my, .....where did the time go!  He rides a Harley and his license plate is "HAWG".   Such an appropriate name for a Harley.    Whenever he can get away from his busy life he is gone on a ride.
