is my card. I used one of my favourite stamp sets, The Open Sea (which I also used for his Father`s Day card) and the coordinating dsp, Nautical Expedition on my card as well as Early Espresso Baker`s Twine and a game spinner head to serve as the center for my compass. I stamped the anchor image from the stamp set onto the Cherry Cobbler card-base using my Versamarker to add a little more depth to the card. I think that I may have to invest in a new digital camera as my pictures are terrible!! I hope that you like the cards that I made yesterday for World Cardmaking day. 
Well, better late than never... I have never made a card for a challenge and although it was too late when I saw this design, I had to try anyway. I tend to have a difficult time making cards for the men in my life and some time I need inspiration. My brother-in-law, Pierre, celebrated his birthday last week and as he loves to play cards I wanted to use this designer series paper... so I put the challenge to the test and this is the card that I came up with. 
Here is the Thank You card that I designed for Caitlin for her baby shower. I wanted to wait until she began sending them out before posting this picture, so that our family members wouldn`t see my post before receiving their card from Caitlin. My mom has already received hers, so I hope that I am not too early posting this!! I used the same dsp and colour palette as I used for her gift and card. As you can see, I included the image into the scrapbook page that I gave her, although I added some dazzling diamond glitter to the bottle for her shadow box. I used two retired stamp sets that I have for both the main image and the bottle attached to the ribbon. The main image is a pile of blankies in a basket, with diapers, a teddy bear, a baby bottle and some baby powder which appears to be wrapped in cellophane and tied with a bow. I love this image and thought that it was perfect for baby shower Thank You cards. I also stamped a baby bottle, key, rattle design using Baja Breeze ink onto Whisper White c.s. and used the Jewelry Tag punch (which I find kind of looks like a baby bottle itself). I then punched a hole at the top before threading some linen thread through to add a little more interest to a rather simple design. I love the dsp that I used and wish that I had stocked up before it was retired in June!!
