It's that time again, the Video Blog Hop team is back to share Masculine creations and inspiration with you this month. I'm going to say,..... Masculine is my nemesis, flowers and bling are more my thing (oh that rhymes, I'm a poet, haha). I don't know how many times I sat down to create for this and drew a bit fat 100% blank, and then when I did have an idea I couldn't figure out how to incorporate my personal DSP challenge, needless to say this card was a long time in the "creative making" and my sanity was wearing thin. I don't know how, but suddenly Dude! popped in my head, maybe I was talking to our Husky, Dave - he is a dude (totally has a mind of his own, and does things according to the way of Dave, never a dull moment). My Lined Alphabet Bundle was still sitting on my desk unopened, now I had the perfect reason! I used a "B - side" of the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to fulfil my DSP challenge...

It's that time again, the " Enjoy the little things in life - Design Team Video Blog Hop" is here to  help you to be more creative and give you some great ideas and tips. This month you are in for a treat/sneak peak - we are going to be giving you inspiration with the stamp sets we won from Prize Patrol at Onstage earlier this month! I won the Around the Corner stamp set, it contains 18 photopolymer stamps, and today I am going to show you that there is more about this set than just cormers! To change up the stamping I have used "masking" one of my favourite techniques, and I use it all the time..... and as I had a little "planning mishap" with my balloon stamping I have a tip in my video of what do do when you stamped images don't fit in your punch. I'm pleasantly surprised with this CAS card, not my normal style, and I did have to stop myself stepping it up - told myself leave that for another card! Anyway, her...
