Good Friday morning to you!
I have yet another Playing in Paradise challenge for you, this week it is hosted by Tracy. She has challenged us to make a masculine card, and what a challenge that is!!
What makes a masculine card? CAS design? Colour scheme? Masculine objects?
If anyone knows the answer can you let me know!!!
I tried to keep it simple and I thought a newspaper theme was masculine and fit right in with my purpose for the card!
The paper I used for this one is from the "Happy Days" line from Echo Park". I love this line! So retro and fun! I popped up a couple of extra ads to add some interest. And later decided to add the corduroy brads for a punch of colour. The "sentiment" was typed up on the computer as I did not have a stamp that would do. :)
This is the inside of the card, so you can see how it flows!
I made this card for my father, who currently lives in Malaysia. I thought it would be a fun way to share some exciting news.
Which brings me TO my good news....I am pregnant!!
And also explains why I have been a tad absent lately. The morning sickness has really been a creativity & blog surfing smasher!
So with that out of the way, please head on over to the Scrapbooker's blog and to the rest of the design teams blogs,
and then play along.
As always there are prizes to be won, just link up your creation by noon on Nov. 3rd.
I hope everyone has a most fabulous weekend. Thanks so much for stopping by!
p.s. for those interested, here is a pic from my 12 wk ultrasound! Man, it is so cool to watch them move, see the heart pumping!! My husband was pretty choked up, it was so sweet! :)

Big congrats Kasia!! That's wonderful news! When I was pregnant, smelling ginger scented stuff helped ease my nausea, I can't remember who recommended it to me but it worked :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and the card is fantastic, I'm sure your dad is going to love it!
Wow! Congratulations! Such exciting news. And love the card you're using to announce it to the grandfather-to-be. The popped-up ads are a great touch.
ReplyDeleteWAHOO! Congrats, Kasia! Take care, and I hope the barfies pass soon. Guess you won't be derbying for a bit :(, but think of all the skate skillz you'll be teaching your little one in a few years!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and the card rocks, too. Of course it does! Love those brads.
Wow I was busy taking in all the fab details about the card, then you *totally* blew us out of the water with that amazing news!!!

ReplyDeleteFabulous news Kasia - big congratulations! Love your card! Take care of yourself and I hope your morning sickness passes soon :)
ReplyDeleteSuper congratulations to you! I was kind of wondering if there was something wrong, but I'm glad to hear that it is something RIGHT! Great masculine card as well, love the layers.
ReplyDeletecongratulations. Morning sickness is not fun and it will pass. That feeling of expecting is wonderful. Great way to tell your dad.
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo, congrats to you! Such fabulous news! I love your card too!
ReplyDeleteNow that is how you make a male card! I think you need to be giving us lessons! And congrats on your very exciting news. :-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! This is awesome news!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure what the answer is on the "dreaded man card" as I like to call it, but I think you nailed it! Awesome and what a fun way to share some wonderful news!
Congratulations! What fabulous news! Love your idea for the card it's such a great way to find out!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations friend! I am so happy for you. I kind of figured this out a month ago with all the pins on your pinterest board. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSqueee!!! I LOVE your card to your Dad announcing your pregnancy! And a huge congratulations, Kasia! As for the morning sickness, you can get seabands that may or may not help but I found that applying pressure with two fingers on the inside of my left wrist when I felt nauseous made it go away. I got that tip from my chiropractor and acupuncturist! Either way, I hope it passes quickly and you start enjoying your pregnancy. I'm so happy for you!!
ReplyDeleteO-M-GEEEEEEEEE You're gonna be a mama?! Hooray for you and your hubby! This is fabulous news! :) CONGRATULATIONS! *BIG HUGS* I hope your dad loves the card too.
