SPDSS44 Huckleberry Finn Birthday


Hi everyone!  A busy Saturday planned, so I'll make this quick!  I found the Sugar Pea Designs blog via my Paper Players teammate Claire, and they have a set of cute sketches this month!  Here's their latest one (you can win prizes if you play along!):


My nephew's birthday is coming up; he's in the Navy ROTC program at Drexel, and although this isn't a naval vessel, I thought he might enjoy the "adventurous" theme from this Huckleberry Finn set by Artistic Outpost:


In hindsight, I wish I had stamped the riverboat in Early Espresso....the brown DSP looked more gray on my desk at 9:00 in the evening...bad lighting, I guess.  However, I am not redoing it, so it is what it is!  It is stamped in Basic Gray and overstamped  with the Linen background stamp in Sahara Sand:


The sentiments were also stamped in gray, and I added some Gorgeous Grunge speckles in Sahara Sand as well.  This little quote just cracks me up!


The Birthday sentiment from Perfect Pairings is stamped on the inside with Lost Lagoon and Timeless Textures is in Sahara Sand:


Thanks for peeking in today!  And just in case you might have thought Cassidy outgrew her lining-up obsession, no, it is still alive and well:



Enjoy your day and be sure to come back tomorrow for a new Paper Players challenge!

  8. Oh what a great card for him!! I think he'll love this boat and your cool design!! I think Cassidy has a future as a military drill instructor!! She'd line them up and make them tow the line!!!
