Masculine Thank You Card

I'm a huge glitter fan (duh) and although some guys might like glitter, lots of my family do not. So I try to control myself when I send cards to them...and let me tell you, it's hard for me. But, Paper Smooches has fun challenge up, School/Words, so I added the challenge of making a card without glittery bits.

I don't have any "school" themed Paper Smooches, but I have the Spookalicious Halloween set with an owl, so he got star billing. I added the sentiment from this set and watercolored the owl with Distress inks. After adding washi tape, I mounted the panel on kraft and stopped myself from decorating the owl with some Stickles. But I did sneak in some shiny Chrome pen dots.

You have a couple of days left to join me in the challenge, hope you will!

p.s. finally joined the bitmoji bandwagon, but I think my bitmoji is cooler than me!

Happy Wednesday!

Need Caffeine

Today over at a2z Scrapbooking Supplies, I have a card for anyone who gets that feeling of Need. Caffeine. Now. Today was my day for that because I stayed up late for no good reason and 6am rolls around pretty early, turns out. Here's the outside.

Here's the inside. I used this great digi coffee set and this clear stamp set, along with Prismacolor pencils.

As an added bonus, I'm joining the Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop. Love Amy and Chaitali for making this a regular thing. Although I'm a tea drinker, I gotta have my cuppa at least twice a day. There's nothing like a warm cup of tea, even in the summer. If you like a great hop, this is one to join! Prizes galore and fun coffee/tea/cocoa themed projects. I was part of the Christmas Coffee Hop and it was a lot of fun—I added a lot of new blogs to my reading list.

I'm giving away some blog candy for the Spring Coffee Lovers Bloghop. If you like Starbucks, I've gotcha covered. Sending a $10 gift card out to one random person who
