Something for Freakin' EVERYone!

Hey-HOWDY, friends!! Welcome to this month's Control Freaks Blog Tour!! Did ya SEE what LeeAnn Greff did?? DID-YA-DID-YA??? She is FANTASTICAL!!!

This month we were a little torn on the theme ... it started out as "DUDE!" ... and as we ALL struggle with "DUDE" cards, some of us were feeling a bit stumped ... SOOOOOooo, we changed the theme to "Something for EVERYone" - which basically translates into making cards/projects that are "gender neutral" ... can be used for ANYone (so y'all are getting a mishmash of "Dude" and "stuff for everyone")!! Get it??? Good!! Let's get started!!

I went a little cray-cray-crazy with this one!! I started and just couldn't STOP myself!!! I used the "Happy" sentiment for the "Greatest Moments II" MDS download (and yeah ... it's TRUE-TRUE ... I seem to be addicted to using MDS and my eCutter - aka my Silhouette - while making things lately!)!

I also have been trying to keep some of my projects simple ... I seem to NEVER know when to stop. Because all my stuffs are so LOVELY and FUN to play with!! But I DO try!

I stamped the same image from Gorgeous Grunge multiple times behind the "holes" created by the letters ... kinda a "rainbow" effect. Super fun!

This is just another version of the same thing, flipped vertically. I made the top layer with Crumb Cake and embossed it to change the look. Once again, I used an image from Gorgeous Grunge to add color behind the letters ... I seem to be addicted to that "little-black-dress"-of-a-stamp-set!

And ONE MORE!!! I used the star punch out of MDS (once again!). I laid out a 4"x 5.25" rectangle and put a bunch of stars in it ... resize a few of them even ... then just layered 'em up!! YAY for polka dots, too!!
