When I saw what today's challenge was, "It's a boy thing," my main thought was, "What would my husband like?" As all you ladies know, men LOVE being the King of their Castle, or in this case, King of the Jungle! My plan was to make this for my husband for Father's Day, but I'll have to make him a different card cause he was sitting with me when I made this. Is it cheating if you are getting advice from a male while you are making the card? Hope not! I was going to add some more brads, but my husband advised that, "Less is more!"
Hope you like my card as much as I liked making it!

Cardmaking runs in the family I see. It's not cheating, we all need help from our friends right! I just love this image, scary but so well coloured in Jenna. Majestuous, that's what Pierre would say, he loves to be Kind of the Castle too. Ah but I am the Queen even if it us the Queen Nut, I'm extraordinaire mind you! Fine take on the F4A.
