This card is gonna be for my BIL...now I know the sentiment medallion is usually used for girls and the like, and of course not a snowman, but believe me, this fits. First of all, his birthday is Dec. 22. Secondly, I made the mistake of commenting on an outfit of his. He had a black suit on, with a crisp white shirt and a very stylish tie...all very GQ....but the tie was black and white. I asked him if he was going for the *generic* look....all in friendly banter, that's how our relationship works...boy, did I catch it. Now that was 20 years ago, and to this day, he either asks me if I approve of his outfit, or if I comment favorably, I still get razzed on occasion. Thus, the stylin' snowman! Oh, he's a dairy farmer too. That's why I used this special guy.
The image is stamped on Kraft cs and colored with pastels. I know....pastels don't sound very masculine...I won't tell him, if you won't!

Are you kidding? This is a great stylin' snowman! Love all the embellies too. Especially the two sizes of brads, and the double layered photo corner and the different patterned papers. GQ Snowman is totally going for the gentleman farmer look with his hat!

What a perfect card for Mr. GQ. Those California Cows are probably all talking about his style and pizazz! And if they are not, tell them Tosh! He will get such a kick out of this card, it is wonderful...I need to learn how to distress paper better! That is what I learned from seeing your card today! It is wonderful, wonderful, stylin' wonderful!

Cute story, Tosh! Isn't it funny how some things just stick over the years? It's a special and darling snowman card you've created for your BIL! I love snowmen, and don't believe I've ever seen a country one! I really like your layout on this, too! You so rock, girl (soon to be a DG, I bet!)
