Conrad Construction by Dude Time Doodles

We have a new challenge starting today at Stamps R Us sponsored by Dude Time Doodles, our theme is masculine.

For my sample card I used Conrad Construction and colored him with Copic markers B99, B97, B95, B93, B91, E30, E31, E44, E50, E51, C00, C1, C2, T1, T2, YG0000, YG01, YG03, YG05, R21, Y15, Y13, Y11.  My layout is Splitcoast Stampers SC#312, cardstock colors Neenah Solar White & Desert Sand, Papertrey Ink Enchanted Evening, Stampin' Up! Green Galore & Brushed Silver.  I printed the sentiment from this digital stamp set on the Green Galore layer after I cropped it so I could use part of the sentiment on the outside and part on the inside of my card.  I used the Cuttlebug Diamond Plate embossing folder on the silver panel, added a couple of silver brads and my card was complete.

I have some pictures to share today speaking of "liking to play in the dirt".  I didn't get any pictures of the guys working yet though!  Maybe later today -

New planting beds in front of the block wall, down both sides of the sidewalk and beside the driveway are going in.

I cannot believe all the unexpected company we've had since the front is all torn up.  It's usually very quiet at our house.

It's going to be nice when it's finished!  We just need to figure out what kind of plants will withstand our 115 degree plus temperatures that are coming soon.

I had to include a silly picture of Maxine on the other side of the fence since I'm showing some personal pictures today!  She came down with Parvo April 1st, a month later you'd never know she's been sick.  Thanks for all your prayers and support during that time.
