Let’s Hear it for the Boys! It’s a Give-away!
Hmmm…looks like this boy is in a bit of trouble. I’m happy to say I’ve never had an experience like this (including having to wear a business suit to work)!
Well, you know… my mind wanders when I start thinking about combining sets, and My Favorite Things stamps are absolutely perfect for mixing.
This card took a bit of planning. I actually started by stamping a beer bottle, then masking it, stamping another and masking that one as well. I started with only three bottles on the floor but then thought, no, there needs to be more (because he’s in LOTS of trouble). But before adding bottles, I stamped the dude image. I masked him, then stamped the woman from the Back to School set. Next I stamped four more bottles, colored and cut them out and adhered each one individually in the pile. The hat and fish plaque are mounted on dimensionals.
Since I haven’t used them in a while (and I need the practice), I got out my Prismacolor pencils to color the images.
I used my new favorite patterned paper again, Webster’s Pages (available here), adding tiny screw brads in each corner.
I have really appreciated everyone taking a peek at my blog. I was hesitant to start it, wondering if anyone would even be interested in what goes through my mind or how I do things. So as a “thank you” I’m having my first give-away. I’ve tried to cover the boys, both big and small. I’ve included the newly released set Let’s Hear it for the Boys from My Favorite Things, an 8″ x 8″ pack of the new Little Boy Biography Collection by Cosmo Cricket (VERY cute patterned paper with alphabet and journaling cards), a set of Karen Foster mini tool charms (many of you know how much I love those!), Boy Crazy mini sprinkle brads by Queen & Co., and three yards each of red/cream striped ribbon and brown/cream striped ribbon (both May Arts). 
All you need to do is leave a comment on this post (one per person, please). You can just say hi, ask a question, whatever. You can comment through Tuesday, August 14th. On August 15th I’ll use the random number generator to select a winner.
Thanks again for visiting! I really appreciate your interest! 
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Papertrey Ink white Patterned Paper: Webster’s Pages Vintage Home Collection “Nestled” Stamps: My Favorite Things Let’s Hear it for the Boys, Back to School, Karen Foster mini formal snap stamps Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black Accessories: Prismacolor pencils, mineral spirits, Karen Foster mini screw brads, ribbon (May Arts), dimensionals.

-Ginna
Hi Michele..

I enjoy visiting your blog. I love the beer bottle card. Thanks for sharing your ideas!
Wow! Great Blog candy and a greater blog!! I really love the card… combining the two set makes it wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
Michele-
I am so impressed with your work! I look forward to attending one of your workshops. Thanks for sharing…
as mom to 3 boys and a possible boy in the making I am always on the look out for boy themed craftiness. thanks for the opportunity to get me some masculine blog goodies!
Oh yea—more manly stuff! Your design cracks me up!
Oh this card made me laugh! I’m in the same boat…never had a man behave so badly, nor have I ever had to wear a business suit to work (or anywhere for that matter.)
I love your blog and all your creations! Very inspiring!!
Me, too! me, too! I second everything said about your talent, your inspiration and this fantastic give-away! I enjoy your blog everyday!! e

LOL! One of the cutest cards I’ve seen with this set or for any guy card! VEry creative and CUTE!
LOL Your cards always make me smile… Great one…..
reflections:0)
This is too cute. I was thinking I could cut out a picture of my face to put on the woman’s body (although I haven’t been that shape for years) and add my son or husband’s face to the man’s body and it would be a very personal card. Also love the coloring. I have the Prisma’s, just haven’t used them yet.
Wow, what a give-away! Your card rocks. Wonderful execution on the colouring and layout. Could be me on that card, except there would be socks lying on the floor and sofa instead of beer bottles, lol!
Beatrice
oh, i love that stamp set! what a great give-a-way!

Well, I have been (and continue to be) surrounded by men my whole life. 3 brothers, 2 sons, 6 nephews, even all my pets are boys. So let’s hear it for the boys!! I’m sure that a *few* of them have been in trouble at one time or another.
Oh my gosh! You are seriously the queen of all that is unique stamping! You are so creative with your ideas… I mean, this one has me in awe, but I’m still in awe over the belly button ring with the jeans card in the Dirty Dozen Gallery! LOL
Well… I am adding your blog to my list!

OMG!! That boy is in soooooooo much trouble.
Awesome way to combine the sets too.
You read my mind…I need a card like this…very cute!!!!
Love your blog! Thanks for all the work and time you put into it.
Hey that looks like my living room after going shopping without the kiddos and my hubby is watching them. LOL. Like my mom used to say “as long as the kids don’t get between the tv and the chair, it’s no trouble for their dad” he he he. Thanks for sharing. love your blog.
I so love your work, and of course your blog candy is to die for!! Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for this great opportunity.
Fantastic card! Could almost be from our house though I am much heavier than your female! Also, the ball cap should have an I on it or a Hawkeye. Fish, not so much. Also, needs a few newspapers and less bottles. But, this really was a fantastic card and I wish I had just an smidgen of your creativity and could act on it. Thanks so much for sharing and I need to visit your blog more. I love the other cards as well. So much talent! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Cute card and great giveaway! Thanks for being so generous.
WOW! Your card is absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I have 3 boys (4 if you include my DH!) So this is a great giveaway! Thanks for the chance!
This is a darling set and we all know how hard it is to make “guy” cards…this would make it so much easier!! Thanks for opportunity to win this!
I am a huge fan of your art work! I love your style and just everything you create! Thanks for sharing with us!

Cool card. Lots of work and planning!! Great giveaways!!!
The card just can’t get any better than this. It’s a masterpiece. And the blog candy is very good too!
Love the masking! I am getting psyched to try it. Seems like it will make my stamping get to different places. Then I can get into the kind of trouble _he’s_ in!
Hi! What a wonderful blog! I’m glad I found you! I have to honestly say I don’t have any MFT stamp sets… insert gasp!!!
It would be awesome to win.
Thanks! I know I’ll be back!

Such a darling …….and accurate card. I love the “Dude!” I really wanted to know what it said inside too.
wow, Michele….look at all your readers! I knew you were doing a great job with the blog….but this proves it!
what a fun card -
I’ll ask a question - how many stamp sets do you own and do you purge and get rid of them or keep them all? Also, how do you organize them all?
Love your cards and your Blog! Looks like we have the same taste in our Blog roll! Thanks for your hard work and inspirations! Jennifer
Just discovered your blog and love all your cards. Would love to see more Christmas cards — the earlier the better!
I burst out laughing when I saw this creation—I can just hear the woman getting ready to say….’now, Honey’…or maybe some other choice words!
