OBG Blog Hop Time!!!

Welcome to my Hide-away! It's time for another Designing D.I.V.A.S. "Oldies But Goodies" blog hop! Hopefully you arrived here from Cindy's blog, but if you didn't, that's okay, you can still catch up by going to Melissa's blog to start the hop! You wouldn't want to miss anything!!!

The D.I.V.A.S. were to create a project using stamps and accessories that are at least 6-months old. Well, this is not a hard thing for me to do since I have SO many stamps that have never seen ink and tons of packages of designer paper sitting unopened. Today, I decided to use one of my Bombshell Stamps' sets, Homeward Bound, that's been waiting to be used. I love this ship image. The designer paper is much older than 6-months. Yes, I AM a paper hoarder! :) I also used one of my Nestabilities that I've had and not used. Sometimes I think I'm a "collector" and not a "stamper"!

Now, sail on over to the next stop on our hop and visit Maria's blog to see what she's offering up.

Stamps: Homeward Bound (Bombshell Stamps), Linen background stamp (Stampin' Up!- retired)
Ink: Tuxedo Black (Memento), Creamy Caramel (Stampin' Up!)
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake (Stampin' Up!), GP110 white
Patterned Paper: Stampin' Up!
Accessories: Nestabilities (Lacy Squares), Cuttlebug, Copic Markers, 1/16" hole punch, antiqued copper brads, pop dots

This card was submitted for the following challenges:

Stamping Vacation Challenge - What A Guy Challenge- Boating Theme
Card Ideas - Yummy Color Challenge- Use Chocolate, Caramel, and one other color
One Stitch At A Time -Challenge #54- Something For the Boys
The SisterHood of Crafters- Let's Hear it For the Boys!

  30. Very Handsome. Love the scallop border around your image and the texture the linens stamp adds. Haven't used that in a good while so that is a good one for the OBG Challenge. Sorry it took me so long to get to all the blogs on the hop but better late than never.
