Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you had a great weekend! We went to a birthday party/picnic/fish fry yesterday to celebrate my nephew's birthday, so I used the Create with Connie & Mary sketch for his card:
I chose some papers from the Serene Scenery 6x6 pad and paired it with Gorgeous Grunge and Perfectly Wrapped:
My sentiment is from a past Paper Pumpkin kit; I added some Soft Sky stars to break up the "brown-ness", and a few candy dots for simple embellishments, and for the horizontal element, a little sliver of Crumb Cake was stamped with the arrow stamp from Perfectly Wrapped. I distressed it with a bone folder and popped it up with some dimensionals!
John gave Cassidy a bank for her birthday; there were sections for tithing, saving and spending! Need to get her in the habit early! She had fun putting the stickers on:
The finished product:
We took all the money out of her piggy bank, separated each set of coins into groups of ten, then she put one coin in the church (tithing) portion; four coins in the store (spending) portion; and five coins in the bank (savings) portion. She hasn't quite grasped the concept that she could actually spend part of her money yet....although I am sure she will figure it out soon enough!
Thanks for visiting today!

Love this! Such a great grouping of papers and texture stamps! Very industrial looking. Thanks for playing the Create with Connie and Mary sketch challenge this week!
Wow, this is completely cool! I love the "textured" dsp layered on top of the stamped circles. The popped up stars add wonderful depth too! Excellent! Thanks for playing along with us at Create with Connie and Mary!
Love your great masculine card. Nice color combo and texture.
Cute photos of Cassidy.
Love the card and what a wonderful idea for Cassidy! I am sure she will figure the spending option out in short order though, they always do! ~chris
GORGEOUS masculine card! I love all the stamped circles in the background, too! GREAT idea for a bank, too! I was planning on getting my grand-kids banks for Christmas...I'll have to look for this one!
This is an awesome masculine card! Love all the texture you created with the DSP and stamping. I bet your nephew loved it! That bank is a great present.
I am happy for Cassidy that she is learning to be wise with her money...this is sure to "pay off" in many ways. And your card looks very masculine, love the color pairing.
This is a terrific masculine card Leanne!! What a cute little bank for Cassidy. You're right, it's never too early for them to learn!
I really love this card LeAnne - the textured papers work so well and the blue stars really pop against the neutrals. A perfect guy card! Thanks for joining us over at Create With Connie and Mary this week!
