Hello,
I’m
thrilled to be, once again, joining the Just Us Girls team as their July Guest
Designer. This week, Just Us Girl #353~PhotoWeek invites us to draw inspiration from this dapper, handsome image. Manly marvelous, right?
My stash doesn’t really offer an abundance of guy-themed images (well, I do have little dinos, but they were a no-go for this event), so I adapted….
Yes…a shaker, with a Concord and Ninth butterfly and sentiment (and my 'watercolour' strip stamp). This may not necessarily be 100% ‘guy’ but…close enough. My husband liked it, and though he would never confess, in public, to liking shakers, he gives them a good rattle when he thinks I’m not within sound or view. He’s been caught on a couple occasions, with the excuse of ‘just seeing if everything is in working order’. Too funny…
Once again, THANK YOU to the amazing Just Us Girls team for this fourth outing with you! So. Much. Fun!
Hope you'll play along in this photo challenge! So many possibilities...

Beautiful background and I can't resist giving shakers a little shake too! Lovely card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card, everyone loves shaker cards and your background paper makes it a male card. Look great I love that butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool, Carol. I love that you made a shaker and smiled when I read of your husband's checking to be sure it worked quality check. :D The colors in the background are very striking and what a lovely butterfly. Fabulous work! hugs.
ReplyDeleteWell, congrats my friend, on your GD spot at JUGs!! There's something special about a shaker card, don't you think?! (and I think your DH would agree too, lol!) Those stripes are marvelous, and that butterfly is sweet and so YOU! Did you stamp those stripes, or is it dp? Wonderful card Miss C., and I just love it. Have a wonderful weekend! Bev

ReplyDeleteSo fun how you turned this into a shaker card! It looks fabulous with the pretty bfly cut out~

ReplyDeleteFabulous card! Is that background a stamp? I guess you need to enable me again, my friend. I love how you've made this into a shaker. It's lovely & I'd be shaking it, too!
ReplyDeleteLove your card Carol! I think masculine cards are hard to make. But I think you have created a pretty masculine card with the background stripes and that fabulous butterfly! I love too that you made it into a shaker card. That is to funny about your hubby getting caught shaking some of the cards. lol Shakers are fun and no one can resist shaking them!!! Not even your hubby Carol. lol Hugs, Brenda

ReplyDeleteThis will tell you how far behind I am in commenting, Carol. Your watercolor strip stamp was perfect for the background of your wonderful butterfly shaker. So cute that your husband sneaks a shake now and then.
