GCA #93 - It's a Man's World!!


Hello all!!!  Happy Father's Day to all those deserving and hardworking fathers.  Whether you be a dad, grandpa or a father figure mentor, you are needed!

In honor of Father's Day today, the challenge for this week is to create a manly card.  This could be a birthday card, anniversary card, scrapbook page or whatever, just have it fit for a man.

My sample for you is a scrapbook page I made in honor of my son.  Last (2009) spring he was featured in the neighbors section of our town newspaper for his music.  Pictured with him is Malaki at 3 months old.

I wasn't ever quite sure how I was going to put this page together, but once I found this dotted dsp, it just sort of fell together.  I did have to cut up the article, which my son freaked out over, but it was the only way I could mount it on the page.

My base is 12 x 12 Really Rust textured and layered with the polka dotted dsp.  Not sure who makes it.  Some of the dots have a glossy feel to them.  The main picture and title are matted on Old Olive and the article portion is on Cool Caribbean.  I used my Really Rust marker to color the chipboard comma's and the watch parts are by Tim Holtz.

Upload your creation to either your blog or to an online gallery and post a link to your creation to this blog entry by June 26, 2010 at 12 midnight. I will choose the winner the next day. If you upload your card to SCS, PaperCraft Planet, Stampin' Addicts or Stamp TV, please put GCA93 in your keywords. That way everyone can see all of the wonderful creations at once!

Even if you can't make the drawing deadline, PLEASE feel free to participate in the challenges and upload your creations at any time. I would love to see it! And yes, my challenge is open to everyone who visits, even if you live outside the US!

Happy Stamping!!!
