"Beer is Proof that Gods loves Us!"

In my new package of rubber from DRS Designs the other day, I received this fun quote from Ben Franklin. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." I can see myself using this quote over & over for all of the masculine cards I need to make over the next year!

Here's my first one, using this week's CPS Sketch 111 for the layout. What guy wouldn't love getting a card like this for his birthday?

This sketch was pretty easy to work with. I colored the beer mug image with marker and painted the "foam" with Shimmerz. Then I added Diamond Glaze to the mug and handle giving it that real glass look.

Stamps: DRS Designs- Franklin's Wisest Words, Large Beer Mug
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black
Paper: Smooth white cardstock by Office Depot, Colored Cardstock by The Paper Company and Bazzill
Accessories: Bic Markers, Nesties, Diamond Glaze, Opal Shimmerz
Finished Card Size: 4.25" x 6.5"

My Husband doesn't really understand my card making addiction. Regardless, I always show him my cards and ask him what he thinks and I usually get a response like "Oh It's perfect!" with tons of sarcasm. However, when I showed him this card, his face lit up & he said that he "liked this one, now only if you could make it a scratch and sniff!" Little does he know that we can actually make scratch & sniff cards, but how would you create the beer smell? Do they make beer flavored Kool-Aid???

I guess to some, beer and happiness go hand & hand. Maybe Ben Franklin was right, but all I do know is that boys will always be boys!

Smiles,
Jennifer
