great challenge, Julia...I've yet to encounter any reruns so I loved this one. I even sacrificed one of my grandmother's picnic napkins for the cause!
I love this image from a set by Artistic Outpost called 'adventure'. Perfect for masculine cards. And I need one today for my DH birthday. I inked the image on GP white cs with ColorBox black and embossed with clear. The compass is UTT'ed 4 times on the glass face. I colored with Copics. It is mounted above the road paper from WUBE. I loved the moving image the winding road conveys. The red metal tab is a Daisy D's product. My card is finished off with a piece of the picnic napkin from my grandmothers treasures. I searched high and low for bandanna...guess I have no cowboys in my house!!!
Thanks for looking and have a super duper Friday eve!!!

What a great guy card - that dog looks like such a great pal. Sort of reminds me of the movie 'My Dog Skip'. I love that movie except I cry like a baby when the boy grows up and leaves for college. Ok, back to the card...I love your grandma's dinner napkin - perfect for the challenge!

Wow Susan! So many things here, I love them all! Is that a photo in the bg? Looks like a road up a mountain overlooking a lake. Love your dog image and the fabric. Wonderful job today! TFS :0)

Great masculine card. I love that stamp, such a cute dog (with a snout almost pointy enough to remind me of my greyhound). And your grandmother's napkin? I hope it had a stain on the other end, lol! "Every day is a winding road" . . . I get songs stuck in my head so easily!
