Steampunk Birthday Card + Freebie!

Hello everyone! It's Thursday again! Amazing how fast it comes around each week. I am super excited to share with you this card that I made today. First of all, I'm excited because Lindsay has released a new set called Steampunk Stamps. At first I was thinking, what am I going to use these for? Then I started seeing endless possibilities behind these simple and totally cool vintage images. I can't wait to use a few more of them! If I'd had time today, I probably would have made 3 or 4 cards!

Another reason to get excited, Lindsay's birthday!! Everything in her store is 34% off to honor Lindsay's 34th birthday tomorrow through Saturday!

So I used the vintage typewriter image. I knew exactly who I was making my card for the minute I saw it. Our preacher at church has a facination with old typewriters. He even has a tie pin made from a 1932 typewriter (couldn't tell you the brand). His birthday will be coming up soon, so I made him this card.

I used the sketch at 2 Sketches 4 U this week. Another reason I was excited was because of the genius (ok I'm not conceited) sentiment that I came up to go along with it! I usually have to copy other people's sentiments, because I can't think of my own, but I love this one!

Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog to check out the DT's work and grab a freebie!

Now for your Thursday Freebie!

Valentine for my Hubby

I was totally stumped for what kind of card to make my husband for valentine's day. I didn't want to make a sappy one, but I'm not the best at coming up with funny cards either. Thankfully, my good friend Lindsay gave me some inspiration. She was on the ball this year. She made her card a few weeks ago and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use the same sentiments for my card (or close enough anyway). Here is her original post.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to just use a clipart of a cow or make one with my cricut, so I just set out browsing google for ideas. Then I came across this old black and white photo. Inspiration hit! To me, it looks as if this is a hot shot business man talking to some young farm boy about girls. haha. So this is what I imagined he would say to the boy: "Remember boy, don't buy the cow if you get the milk for free." haha.

Hopefully my husband will get a kick out of it! Thanks for stopping by!
