This is my guy card #3 for this week, and now I'm done with those. If you are interested in why I needed them, read below.
This is also for today's color challenge -- Brocade Blue, Bravo Burgundy and Night of Navy. Thanks so much, Emily!!! I never use Brocade Blue and I sure loved it today!!!!
This card was super quick and easy. The Levi tag is from a pair of new Levi's, complete with string -- how handy!!! I have many of these saved -- such fun!!! I do like this card -- it's the type of card, even a Valentine, that the guys in my house MIGHT appreciate -- they aren't the card type!!!
About the 3 guy cards -- there is a group of us stamping friends, 10 - 12, who get together probably 6 or 7 times a year to celebrate birthdays, and our next party is Saturday. At these parties we always play this silly game that we all LOVE. It is sort of a white elephant type of thing. We all make 3 cards to go along with the theme -- this time it is Old Man Winter (emphasis on MAN, masculine cards). We wrap our cards to disguise them. Then we play our game where we all get these wrapped cards, end up trading, etc. and no one knows what's inside, so it becomes a fight for the nicest bow or ribbon or whatever on the outside. Then when we are done we open, try to figure out who made what, OOOHHHH and AAAAHHH as my DH would say, and then we keep what we got -- it is soooo much fun -- we never tire of this game. This is the last of my cards. Only 1 in our group MAY see them here, but she still won't know which package they are wrapped in -- right Deb????
