Be a Rebel for NSD!

In "celebration" of National Scrapbook Day/Weekend, our fearless leader Sandy decided to have a Rebel Challenge  - Make CARDS for our heroes instead of scrapbook pages.  Well, I guess I get the best of both worlds because right now I'm at a 4-day scrapbook retreat - I'm making and collecting cards for OWH AND catching up on my scrapbook pages and making mini albums, too!

So, being a Texan (not by birth myself but my mother is a Texan and I got here as fast as I could and produced a Texan offspring!) and the wife of a former Civil War reenactor, when you say "Rebel," I think Civil War which brings to mind BLUE and GRAY.  My challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create a card using the colors BLUE and GRAY.  If it happens to be a masculine card, well, that's all the better!

I used the Rebel digi image from Hambo Stamps (a huge fan and big supporter of OWH, by the way) and the S&S Sketch #110 to create my card for you today.  I hope you like it and it inspires you to create some awesome BLUE and GRAY cards for our REBEL CHALLENGE!  And, if you follow me but not the OWH Stars & Stamps blog, click on the Be A Rebel badge on the right sidebar to check out the other challenges this weekend.

If you think this is fun, click on the Memorial Day SKETCH Blog Hop badge on the right sidebar to sign up for the mother of all blog hops!

I am sorry to say Mr. Linky doesn't like me :(  Please leave a link to your  blog post in the comment section* and we will  hop on over and leave you some love! 

Happy Stamping!

    This card and challenge are perfect for this VCMP theme! Talk about nailing it! You nailed it girlfriend!

    This is a BIG challenge for me - grey is a color that I never use and I am not sure I even own! LOL I'll give it a shot though...just for you!

    Well, the gray is a challenge! I have stacks of gray cardstock and never use it because I never find papers it matches. I did round up a sheet of cloud paper that matched. I was tickled by your story of how you came up with your challenge. Thanks for posting a fun card to inspire us! I posted my card on my blog: http://kathrynscards.blogspot.com/2012/05/allisons-challenge-blue-and-gray.html

    I enjoyed your creative challenge and great masculine card, but I headed in the opposite direction and made a very feminine card with blue & grey! Here's my card (scroll down to find it)

    Believe it or not I was able to meet your challenge! No grey card stock but the grey horseshoe should count! Thanks for a fun challenge Allison!
