It’s time for the new sketch over on OWH’s Stars and Stamps blog. They are up to #215 already. I decided to make a masculine card for the sketch using some fun cowboyish papers from Carta Bella. The sentiment is a modification from a Hero Arts OWH fundraiser set. When I first bought the set, there were 2 stamps that had deep gashes in them. Hero Arts was awesome and replaced the entire set for me. So, I decided to cut the YO out of the YOU are My World stamp for a perfect guy sentiment.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
You go girl – making a YO out of a YOU! I really like the papers and what you did with the pearl pen. Great cards (I like Howdy the best),
You are so clever- love the YO! And your horse card- so stunningly beautiful! And Hero Arts- love that they stand by their products- awesome company!
Great masculine cards, and I love how the "YO!" came to be! Great idea! Love that horse image too!
I love both of your cards, but my favorite is the horse one and I love the cow paper background!! Great cards!
Thanks for trying this sketch, Kristie. Your paper choices, as always, are wonderful. I love the versatility of clear stamps, and your "YO" stamp demonstrates it perfectly! I guess you also have a "U" for text lingo! 🙂
I am loving all the western/cowboy theme cards on this challenge today. Great job on your cards. 🙂
Oh you are a brave one! I sometimes use tape (ink then remove rather than cutting as i am not so brave. great cards…
LOL, I'm not brave at all. Since I received an entirely new set of replacement stamps from Hero Arts, I had 2 of the 'YOU are My World' stamps and only cut up one.
Great idea, Kristie, to cut up the stamp. I love the YO for a guy card. Your second card is just as great. I know some guys will be very happy to receive these two cards. Have a great week ahead.
Great idea the YO why didn't I think of that. Very creative thanks
Both cards are great!! The 'yo' one though…….so creative and fun!! Thanks so much for sharing!
So cool! Yo really hit the mark, great guy card!
