Exciting News!!

Hello blogging friends and thanks for stopping by today!

I'm so excited to share with you that I've been asked to be the January Guest Designer at the 
How much fun is this going to be!!??!!

This is a weekly challenge that comes live on Friday,
 so I hope you'll come join in the fun!

Today's challenge is
ANYTHING GOES

 I am in need of some 'manly' birthday cards so I chose to use their digi stamp called 'Old Car' (digi20205).  What a fun image to color & create with.  I decided on a pretty simple design since it is 'for the guys' and have used a plaid design paper from Paper Pizazz as the backgound and hunter green cardstock for my base card.
 The other products used on this creation are:
Spellbinder Labels 14, Michaels gingham ribbon and my wrench charm is from Inky Impressions.  Prisma markers were used for my coloring.
 
I'm going to try very hard this year to COMPLETE the inside of each of my cards at the same time I design the front.  Most times I hold off doing that until I know exactly for whom or what occasion I will be using the card for but I'm just going to GET 'R DONE this year!  
(I guess you might say that is  my New Years Resolution! ... now to stick with it!  LOL!)

    Congrats! I'd be good if I just put some paper on the insides. I'm always rushing and digging once someone wants to buy something...
