A curse seems to have befallen all the males in my household! Jem is, of course, still hobbling around on his blown out knee. Atticus appeared yesterday morning hopping along carrying his front paw where he has what appears to be rather a small but clearly very painful cut. And finally Luis has walking pneumonia! Hopefully the bad luck with stick to those with Y chromosomes and in the meantime, since all the boys had to rest, I had a lovely afternoon in the Craft Cave! I've had the idea for this sentiment paired with this image for awhile and have finally gotten around to getting it onto paper. Whenever I have to create a computer generated sentiment I waffle around for ages because the Craft Cave is in my mom's apartment and the computer and printer are in mine so there ends up being a lot of running back and forth. I used the colours from this week's Dynamic Duos challenge and the layout was CASEd from this card by Debby.

I love, love, love it! Yet again...rocking with PS!
perfect!!!! Love the design and your use of the colors! Hope the guys are feeling better soon!
Oh good grief! You should stick all 3 of them in a nice big padded kennel with all the kibble they can handle...and make sure you don't get too close ;) Having had walking pneumonia a number of times, my only advice is: use every opportunity you have to say "At least it's not the boogie woogie flu." (You know, from the song? Ahem.)
Not nearly as far away, but my computer is not right with my craft stuff, and I know that I'll get sucked into the Internet if I get on the computer....
That said, I love your card - the woodgrain is too perfect, and hey, if it ever gets in the darn mail I have a card with a hammer headed your way :)
Well I do hope your boys get better soon! Goodness! What a fun card, perfect color choices.
You nailed it!! Love your CAS design. Thanks for joining us at Dynamic Duos this week.
Cool layout on your card! And love the use of the matted half and half die cut!
Hope all your guys feel better soon! Reminds me of that saying "it's all fun and games until someone ends up in a cone", lol!
No you nailed it, what a fantastic crd and you used the Duos colours perfectly.
This is too stinkin cute Jen! Love this little hammer and those tiny nails. Hope your fur babies feel better soon. I had a sick one last week. Thanks for playing along with us at Dynamic Duos!
Cute card, love the CAS styling. Hope everyone is feeling better soon! Thanks for playing with us at Dynamic Duos.
Gorgeous and I love the sentiment on the side! Hope all the men in your house are feeling right as rain soon! Although it feels great to get a lot of creating done while they are laying low and resting, right? :)
What's up with the guys?! Hope all are doing better soon, but enjoy your special time. You totally hammered this card - amazing combos! Love it.
GREAT idea for this one! M x
This is so cute. You are making me rethink my aversion to puns. Love it.
Ack, sorry about the boys! I really hope they all start feeling better!! This card is totally awesome. Thanks so much for stopping by during the Paper Smooches July Release Hop!
I never seem to get my computer printed sentiments in the right place. You are so clever, Jen! Great CAS card. Hugs xxx
Let's hope all of that bad luck stays away from you!! What a darling hammer idea and so clean and simple for the males! So glad to see you at Dynamic Duos!
Great card, Jen! Very clever, and such a clean layout, love it!
Uh oh, clicked enter before finishing... I hope all the injuries and illness leave your home very soon!
I can imagine you running between apartments to finish a card, LOL! I have to run up and down my stairs, because the computer is upstairs near the kitchen and I have moved my crafting corner down into the rumpus room. It will keep us fit! :-)
What a fabulous card, Jen! Love the crispness of it, the gorgeous images, and the woodgrain background. Perfect use of this colour combo.
Fun card! The woodgrain background is a perfect choice.
So sorry to hear all your guys are doing poorly! I've had "walking" pneumonia twice -- and I wasn't doing much walking while I had it! :(
Speedy recovery to all of your Y chromosomes!
Fabulous card! Love it! Great colours, CAS design and texture.
LOVe the sentiment, it totally goes along with the bumps and bruises i am putting myself through currently! this is the best use i have seen for a hammer and nails ALL WEEK!
I just love the wood embossing and your label looks great! You didn't have anything to do with all the mishaps to the males did you Jen?! I mean some people will do anything to get into the craft room! Vicky x
Oh my goodness...three sick males! one is more than I can handle :0)
Awesome card...love me a pun like that :0) I've not got this set for some bizarre reason!
Jenny x
FAB masculine design! Love the embossed bg and punny sentiment!
What a great masculine CAS!!! Love that woodgrain BG, the shape of the frame and that big "Congrats!"
Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon in your household!
Thanks for joining us again this week at Dynamic Duos! :)
