FF#84 War of the Roses!

FF #84
Well hello everyone! Another week, another challenge. What a great week this has beeen, such great creative submissions! I hope everyone also had a great Father's Day.  Now on to what everyone has been waiting so patiently for.

   The FF#83 Shoe of the Week goes to:

   WENDY AKA ROO!!!

                                                                           

This card was just so cute, especially with the mustaches all over it.  You can get anymore masculine than a mustache on a card, lol!  So congrats to you!   Please feel free to grab our Shoe of the Week badge from our sidebar!

Now on to challenge #84!  Since this is one of my favorite flowers (rightfully so my birthday is the 28th of June) I thought we should use the birth month flower.  The Rose!  They can be red, pink, yellow, whatever color you have, just be creative as possible and have fun!  Now to the yummy creations that our most talented DT have created to showcase!

On to this week's challenge! Four FF#83, we want to see your MASCULINE themed projects! It's our nod to Father's Day (you still have a few days to make a card or a gift just in case you may have forgotten, I mean if you've been super busy and haven't had much time)!

But before we get to the DT work...here is a quick pick and a huge shout out to a couple of our "Shoe Dad's" (or should I say the "Shoe widows" that have been abandoned by the Mom's while we scrap...)  Meet Tim and Justin!  Tim is the McHottie hubby of Tanisha and awesome Dad to Kennedy, Nya and Morgan!  Justin is the hubba-hubba hubby of Lesley and amazing Dad to Maeghan!

Heeheeheee (they may kill me when they see this!)  This pick is from New Year's when Tim, Tanisha and kids were able to take a road trip down here to South Carolina.  They entertained themselves fairly well (see the game controllers?) while Tanisha and I got scrappy!

and NOW...Here are some uber-Fab samples from our uber-Talented DT to get your mojo flowing!

The Birthstone for the month of May is Emerald, so we want to see some GREEN!  Here is a little bit about the Emerald and maybe just a bit of inspiration for you (from Wholesalenest.com):

The name emerald comes from the Greek smaragdos via the Old French esmeralde, and really just means 'green gemstone'. Innumerable fantastic stories have grown up around this magnificent gem. The Incas and Aztecs of South America, where the best emeralds are still found today, regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone. However, probably the oldest known finds were once made near the Red Sea in Egypt. 

and now to the gorgeous samples provided by our amazing DT!
