Golfing is Fun

Well here I am with another card for a male.  Last week I went to a party with three cards for my lady friends, and I can't believe I did not think to take a picture of any of them!  Another grandson is having a birthday and he will be 18.  He received new golf clubs for his birthday from his parents last week, and I think he has been out golfing with them every day since.


The main image is from the internet Clip Art.  The golf bag is a stamp made in the US but with no company name. Stamped with Tea Dye Distress Ink.  The Sentiment is a freebie image from Any Old Craft.  The ribbon and cardstock are from my stash.  It did not take long to make, but I think he will like it!

I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Hanna And Friends - - Anything Goes
Make It Monday - - Anything Goes
Dream Valley - - Monochrome
Card and Scrap - - Anything Goes
Sassy Studio Designs - - Make it Crafty

Teenage Golfers

I seem to be making a lot of cards for men lately.  I have two grandsons having birthdays next week,  One will be l7 and the other l9.  I know that they both like to golf, even though they don't get out to do it too often.  So I decided I would make them both the same card. I did change them up slightly with colors and embellishments.




Both cards are colored with copics.  The image is from Just Inklined.  I added a few clouds to the sky, the sentiment stamp is from Inkadinkadoo.  The embellishments and mesh are from my stash - could not find two pieces the same.

I am entering one of these card in the following challenges:

On the Farm

One of our best friends has been in a nursing home now for a couple of years.  He farmed all his life, milking cows morning and evening everyday.  When I make him a card I always try to include some things from the farm.

The background for the scene which I colored with copics  is from Digi Stamps 4 Joy.  The red Tractor is a digital image from I Brake for Stamps.  The sentiment is layered and is from Recollections.  The DP, the cow  which is a sticker, and the rick rack on the bottom of the card are from my stash.

We have been so lucky that we have not had any flooding in Burlington like they have had in Toronto.  We had a heavy rain this afternoon, but it passed through very quickly.

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
