SSIC You Only Live Once

It is time for this weeks Stampin' Sisters in Christ Challenge and our hostess  this week is the ever lovely MariLynn, who has chosen a scripture from Hebrews.

  Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. (KJV)
Hebrews 11:1


Make a card that you doodle on - now is that a challenge or what!  It certainly was for me! I decided I would revamp a card I had started a long time ago - and  brought it back to life from the 'to throw out or not to throw out' pile!  LOL!

I added some Spellbinders cogs that I was sent in a RAK - I am loving this Die and it is high on my Wish List - I can think of so many ways I can use it.  The Cogs were cut out with the Spellbinders Grand Calibur - I love this machine and use it nearly every day! 


I borrowed my DD2's Hannah Montana Glitter Pens and followed the swirls from the Divine Swirls Embossing Folder - I also added some gold touches to the clock face - I am hoping these count as doodling - what do you think!? 

This card is for the following challenges:
Challenge Up Your Life - Circles
2 Sisters - For a Guy
Creations by Gill M - Use Circle Shapes
Little Claire's - Cards for Men
Paper Creator's Crafts - For the Men
Bloggers Challenge - Masculine Card or Project
Fashionista Friday - For Men
Glitter Geeks - Male/ Father's Day
Totally Papercraft - Dies Cuts and Punches
Delightful Challenges - Anything Goes
Just for Fun - Doodle
