April Calendar Layout Brian and bowling.

Confession, I totally cut myself out of the picture. My face was spread out because of the way that I was standing and leaning forward on my bag. You can see me. My arm is in a blue shirt on the right side. 

Anyway, the bowling patterned paper is by Karen Foster. The other patterned paper is the Harley Davidson paper by EK Success. I liked the flames in the paper because they matched the blue bowling shirts. The title is a sticker by Stickibilities. The side border is made up of bowling ball stickers by Scrappin Sports and More, SMR Stickers, and someone else. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for looking and listening. 

My husband took the picture of my brother because he is drinking coffee out of an Old Kent Bank cup at a bowling alley around the corner from the house we grew up  My Mom worked for OKB for 30+ years. 

It hasn’t been called OKB in over 20 years. So for them to have the coffee cup with the bank’s logo on it was enough for my husband to take a picture of my brother with the cup he stole from the bowling alley for sentimental reasons. LOL. 

Manly Monday Let’s Bowl, Let’s Bowl, Let’s Rock n Roll

I sang that song ^^^over and over again while I was making this card, 

This is the front of the card. The orange patterned paper is by Imagination Project. The black patterned paper and bowling shirt sticker is by Karen foster designs. The black, patterned paper was a long strip, and I was being lazy. So instead of cutting it to the size of the card I made the card the size according to the height of both patterned paper scraps.

This is the back of the card. You can see where the black patterned paper is making its way to the inside of the card. I made the bowling lane using a ruler, a pencil and distress ink.

Then this is the inside of the card. Tada. The End. Oh no. There’s more…

That arrow, that’s where the goods are stashed. My friend’s son is turning 11 and we tend to give people money denominations same as their age. Soooo, Behind door number one is…

$11. He will like it. And he won’t care that it’s only eleven dollars. 

He will be grateful for any denomination of money that he receives. 

Thanks for looking.
