Handy (cards)

Hello My name is Shazia and I haven't blogged in a long long time! LOL

Hey Crafty friends, I know it has been a long time... I have not found the perfect balance for things. So my blog had suffered the most over the last few months.  Don't worry I still create and I have a lot of projects to show for my time away.  Here are some cards for handy people.

 I used the SU! totally tools set and made a card for my friend, she is a carpenter.

 This card is for my Very mechanical Father-in-law.

for you,New Moon

 

I have been in caos over the last few days. My lovley mother bought us some fabulouse furniture from a yard sale. I have been moving the room around and a round trying to get it just perfect. I have spent so much time re-decorating that I almost missed this challenge...

The Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #79 ~ New Moon!!!

I really enjoy the Twilight saga. I had to stop moving the stuff to make something. 

I used the official movie poster for color inspiration. I love the warm forest-y color in the picture. The colors are like the Embellish Dimension & Color Challenge, organic and warm.

I used foam squares to adhere the front of this card so the wrinkle could bend naturally.

Using Forest colors makes this a great card for a guy even thought it has flowers.

So I am sharing the card over at the Cards for men Challenge No.10 ~ Outdoorsy.

I also used the CPC #167 sketch, it was perfect for adding the silver filigree brads.

Grandpa in real life

Hey there, I have a scrapbook layout for you crafters today but first I have a little note.

**NOTE**I will be adding an item to the Blog Candy every post from today until draw day!

If you have not seen the blog candy yet head over to the ~Blog Candy~ to enter.

Today I will be adding: Rub-ons by Basic Grey!
Now for the scrapbook page.

This layout is inspired by the Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge #69 - Dan in Real Life. I am not sure if it qualifies, since it is not a card, but, Oh well. I had never seen the movie but watched after seeing the challenge being posted. "Dan in Real Life"  is a great movie, truly a hidden gem!

The first thing I thought of after watching this movie was a father's love. Dan is an extremely loving man. He loves his parents, brother, sisters, daughters, wife, and work.

So I scrapped these pictures of my Dad's 60th birthday.

I used an old Scrappy Sunday sketch over at the Paper Craft Planet.

I scrapbook and both sides of my page.{to save card stock} So here is the back side of the page.

I turned the sketch from the front  sideway for the layout on the back.

On the back you can see the great Basic Grey rub-ons I am adding to the blog candy giveaway!

Happy Krafting, Shaz

I am not sure if the picture shows how truly vibrant the images are. They are shockingly SHARP!

Funny Guy Valentines

**Please if you are one of my many brother remember these are supposed to be a surprise!**
I love making valentines for my brother. I have 2 natural brothers, 4 brothers-in-law and 1 other brother. Anyways, I love making them Valentines. Last year I made them Energy Drink valentines. They loved them one of my many brother even saved his because he didn't want to ruin it.
{ I told him it was O.K. I could make him a new one}
This year I thought funny movie or TV Valentines would be PERFECT!

I will show you each of them and let you in on the Joke. If you don't know the characters in the pictures. Sorry I can't help you. {hehehe} But believe me they are FUNNY!

This Spiderman Valentine says: Web "O" LOVE

This LOST Valentine says "It's Feruary 14th Brotha!"

This Chuck Norris Valentine says:Roundhouse kicking you some LOVE!

This Big Bang Theory Valentine says: "If only one of us can be the FLASH I pick you."

This Zoolander Valentine says: I love you like a brother, I don't mean it like a actual brother, but I mean it like the way black people use it, which I is more meaningful, I think.

Happy Krafting!

My guy Ian in the woods

My guy Ian has been one of my favorite stamps from the Greeting farm.

He is too cool for school! I have used him on card for both men and teen and it look good every-time. I have even used him to make an engagement and anniversary cards. This My guy Ian card was made with a sketch #5 from the 12 Sketches for Christmas. I use lots of natural embellishments to accent this cart: wood button, twine mesh, maple and birch bark pattered paper

I think that wooden buttons are my favorite buttons to embellish.

Since they are neutral so the match with everything.

My Guy Ian in the Woods

The Splendid Stamping with the Greeting Farm Blog is asking what our craft rooom/area looks like.

Pictures of the real Kraft Nook!

~*~Good day~*~         ***BAD  DAY***

L.O.L... I hope looking at my messy craft area is an encouragement.

I find it hard to keep me "creative energy going" when I stop to tidy.

That being said, I also find that tidying up give me lot of ideas of what I could be creating!?!

Happy Krafting!
