I got to use my new framelit. This is a medium sized one cut in half and used one on each side of the middle piece. I also doodled some dots. I'm also using my frame embossing folder for the first time! I was really inspired by Lydia's card with the color on it - so I sponged and drew with marker. I stapled a piece of ribbon on.
I also used my Tasteful Trim die and lattice embossing folder. The colors for this week are Night of Navy, Bashful Blue and Kraft.

The sailboats in Lydia's gallery were pretty amazing. Love your case on one of them. Masculine cards are always the challenge for me. Thanks for sharing this terrific idea for one.
