Inspiration for Boy Themed Projects

Hi everyone! Diane here to give you a little inspiration. If you are anything like me I love to create using embellishments such as ribbon, flowers, bling and sparkle. That doesn't usually fare so well for the boy themed projects. So if you need a little help in creating a card or any type of boy projects, I hope this helps.

Talk about inspiration! Check out the great card from one of our own DT - Barbara AKA Forgotten Scraps. She used Albert fom Limited Runs digis. By using only part of the digi, use of color for the image and adding Halloween paper she took this image in a whole different direction. Brillant!!

Here is what Albert looked like before Barbara did her magic on him. I sure didn't see mad scientist from this but it so works. I'm definitely going to look at images differently now. Mimi created this awesome boy card using The Greeting Farm images, which are some of my favorites. I love the star embossed background. Fabulous coloring on the image also.

Peggy AKA Grandma Pearl submitted this boy card. Love the texture of the paper and elements that she used. Now that you've been inspired, take that inspiration and create. You have until Saturday at 8pm to enter our challenge this week. Let's see those "All About Boys" projects.

Sponsor Spotlight on Limited Runs

Good morning to you.  Alanna here and I get to spotlight our wonderful sponsor for this week, Limited Runs

Here's what the owner, Nikki has to say.

I've started doing more paper crafts within the last Year and have found it to be very addictive and slowly it's been getting larger.  Creating Digi's just happened to be a blend of using my drawing and computer graphix together to create "Limited Runs" which is my little digital stamp store. I've also started Freebie Fridays and will be doing this for a Limited time too.  Each may be posted from 1 day to ??? (Limited Time Offer).  May you all enjoy my digi's as much as I love to make them. SO if your looking for some YUMMY cupcakes I've got over 50 Varieties to choose from and lots more with more always in the works.


Here's a super cute card that Nikki made using Albert.  I just love the way he looks in his oversized suit.


Don't forget that Nikki is giving this week's winner 3 digis of their choice so I'd encourage you to come play with our challenge this week, where it's all about the boys.
