365 Cards Day 110 My Guy

For 365 Cards the Thursday challenge is make a masculine card, and use an argyle pattern.

I searched SCS for a different sketch, and here's the one I am using for this card...

Here's my take on this sketch. I made a card for my son to use for his Grandfather. This was the only argyle paper I could find in the thousands of designer sheets I have stored. I personally did not have any problem with the pink in the paper. My son told me that a male that is secure in who he is has no problem with pink. : ) (he's 14) So, I think it worked out OK....

1. DCWV cardstock, Argyle paper is chatterbox, Inc. double sided paper and both sides were used.

2. The cuddlebug folder was used on a deep bronze sheet of metal by EK success.

3. "Grampa" -/K & Company embossed paper

4. "You're my hero"- Mrs Grossmans scrap metal stickers

Trying to locate these very specific things I need to make the challenge cards has cemented the fact that I MUST get this room organized. I am taking off from work next week for my birthday and I think my "gift" to me will be to work on this room. Next week I will not do any challenges or make any cards until I have shifted this furniture around, and sorted paper and embellishments. I am not sure exactly how to do the paper. I had it stored by color, and then by occasion and then by patterns...I still have to work it out. But I am determined.

365 Cards Day 109 Color Scheme, and SC233

For this challenge on 365 Cards I went looking for a sketch challenge on SCS, and I found this one below that I liked.

This was a difficult challenge for me because I couldn't decide if my colors were correct, and I didn't want to go buy any new paper. If you got a look at my paper wall (Yes, you heard me right) you would not want me to go buy any new paper either. People who do not craft with paper have no idea how many different shades of every color exist, and how many of those shades don't seem to match when you are working on a project! OK, I am digressing...back to the challenge...

Here's the sketch.

The color palette...

Here's my card...

1. The dotted paper is double sided cardstock from We R Memory Keepers

2. The quote came from a paper pack scrap kit by Basic Grey

3. various buttons and jute cord

The longest amount of time was spent comparing the colors, and wouldn't you know the camera doesn't lie. The colors are off. I gotta get some better lighting in here... :) Oh well, I tried... : / I still have some catching up to do so I am off to work on my next challenge!
