This is my card for a challenge with a small group of SCS friends. The challenge was to make a masculine card with pink on it. This is my story:
1. I simply don't have alot of masculine stamps. Have a fishing pole, some fly fishing thingys (pink worms maybe?) and a car stamp (just didn't float my boat this morning!)
2. This card started out as something else but I had to change direction. One other person on the face of this earth and I are the only two that know how this card came about!
3. Since I don't really know what this card is for (but am satisfying the challenge because it has pink on it and it's a man's shirt, polka dots or no polks dots!) this is where my story turns into fiction.
4. Something cool happened to my 85 year old uncle. I can't remember if it was that he was chosen to sing in the Polka Dot Valley Barber Shoppe Quartet or if he was chosen Director of Activities and Entertainment for the Polka Dot Valley Annual Ice Cream Social!
5. Either way, he is feeling quite the big shot. This card will cover both!

Congrats to your uncle...bet he'll have a marvelous time LOL!!! Can tell he's related to you by the plentiful polka dots. At the ice cream social there's just liable to be some polka dances going on!

I LOVE these shirt cards you make (you're gonna have to show me how to do them), and this one is in polkadots!!! Love the pink band and flower; a real man would not feel threatened to wear this. Since you have musical notes on this, I'm interpreting this to mean this shirt actually belongs to a rock n roll artist, but I can accept the 85 year-old uncle in a barber shop quartet fabricated story, too! :-) This is cool, Cindy!

I'm sure your uncle will appreciate the well tied bow tie!! Love that and the pink little flower...gotta wonder if his current girlfriend gave that to him. This is so clever and cute! Love this Cindy...no trashing it allowed!!!
