Masculine Thank Yous

Happy Tuesday Everyone...can you see the happy dance I'm doing?  I received an honorable mention in the most recent Embellish Challenge....makes me very happy!

On to some new cards!  I needed some more masculine thank yous this week and decided to play along with the Just Us Girls for this first one.  I used my favorite PTI Turning a New Leaf set and some of my new SU Colors - Crumb Cake is one of my new favorites for the stamped leaves.


The second card is my first attempt at using cork...how is everyone cutting their cork?  I tried to put it through my Sizzix, but it was too thick.  Ideas are certainly welcome!  Again...stuck with the PTI Turning a New Leaf set and played along with the Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge!  Hope everyone is having a great week...

Love these Lynn!!! The sSSC card is gorgeous. I'm loving using COrk at the moment. I put mine through my Big Shot and it cut no probs, otherwise I just use my scissors and HOPE that I cut straight!! hahaha

I have this paper and I think I should be pulling it out!!! Your cards are both beautiful Lynn!! I have cork and have never used it yet! You've inspired me to get it out! LOL! Love what you've done with this weeks sketch. Your card is sooo crisp and clean looking!

Thanks for playing along with Just us Girls this week!

These are both wonderful! I was just looking at my Turning a New Leaf paper pad today (haven't used it in a long time), thinking it will be great to soon pull out for some fall cards :)

Ooooh nicely done Lynn - love working with cork - I run mine through my CB with nesties and it works ok for me. Thanks for gettin' sketchy with JUGS this week - we appreciate you! Love the CAS look of your card.

Love the masculine look...always a hard one to master :) for me, anyways :) And congrats on the Embellish shout out!!! I find it a tough judging panel...so congrats, so well deserved :) I cut my cork with my cuttlebug as well. I haven't tried to do panel, but think the thin cork I use would work in my SU guillotine.

Gorgeous cards Lynn! Love your take on the sketch :) Huge congrats on your embellish shout out! Whoo hoo! Wonderful job with the cork. I've been thinking about giving it a try too. Thanks so much for playing along with Just Us Girls!
