CAS-ual Fridays... the kraftman.

Um, in case you didn't notice the badge on the right side of my blog... I won last week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge - what a thrill!  (The self-promotion portion of this blog entry is now at an end...)  

This week's challenge is for a manly project, using kraft paper:

I'm thinking this one is at the busier end of CAS, but I still think it fits!  Oh, and fyi:  I l-o-v-e kraft cardstock.  I would use it on every single project if I could...

I started with PTI's out of this world - first stamped the trio of stars onto a circle of black card-stock, and then fussy-cut my rocket image and popped it on top.  I stuck the whole thing down onto my kraft base, which was stamped with a lawn fawn background (from schoolhouse backdrops).  Then things started to go downhill (crafting when over-tired is not the way to go for me...)  I had to add the red strip on the bottom to hide a black smudge.  And the stitching on the side on the greeting?  Let's just say my stapler made some unsightly holes that needed covering up.  (I feel bad for that stapler - got a good yelling-at...) But even though it's not what I'd planned, I really like those elements now!  

Happy fourth of July to everyone south of the border!
