Here's the recipe:

- 3 different types of Designer/Patterned Papers
- Must Handcut Your Papers!!! (No trimmers, hee hee!)
- Add a Funny Quote, Phrase or Sentiment

- Papertake Weekly Challenge - Cutie Pie
- Stamp Something Challenge - Something Layered

- Hope Stamps Eternal Cupcake Challenge #55

- Scrap Pile Saturday Challenge #8 - ONLY use Scraps and Orange

Handcutting?! eeek!

Lucky for me, I had all these perfectly sized scraps laying under my desk -

LOL, don't ask! Maybe if I'm brave enough, I'll share a pic

of my disaster area, hee hee ;)

Even the card's base was a leftover scrap...

and then, I just tore it up! lol
Since it's a boy card, I wasn't aloud to put anything to glitter-y on it,
lol! So, I colored the sentiment in with my Orange Spica Glitter Pen
and added the dew drops ;)

Isn't lil Baby Bud Design's "Ashton" a cutie?!
Don't ya just love the lil belly of his?! hee hee

Very Late - Farm Fresh Friday!!!

I am sooo late on posting my Farm Fresh Friday Challenge for The Greeting Farm... but technically, I still have about 40 minutes before Wednesday is officially over ;) hee, hee!

Here is Jessica's sketch!!!

... and here's my take on it :)

Every time I use one of The Greeting Farm's stamps, it becomes my fave of all! Yesterday, it was the Miss Anya's! and today, well my heart belongs to Skater Ian ;)

My boys and I went for a walk around the man-made pond here in our new complex, and we saw a bunch of teens hanging out with their skateboards and bikes... they all had these sneakers on, bright solid colored sneakers - don't know the brand, lol! - they're just super bright and bold! So, my boys reminded me that I had to make Ian's sneaks look like those "cool boys" ;) lol!

Skater Card Details:

Paper(s): Bazzill Black Tie CS; BasicGrey "Obscene" DP and CS; Papertrey Ink White CS.

Stamp(s): The Greeting Farm's Skater Ian Stamp; StudioG Hi and Hello Sentiments.
