many thanks.

here's a simple card in summer colors :D i love madras print & plaid (don't own much in relation to clothing, but still enjoy it), especially when it's fun paper like this! i kept this card really simple... and i like how easy it was to make, but next time i think i'll add a bit more, or change the focal point.

one thing that's nice is that there's no ribbon, glitter, or bling, so this could actually work for a GUY card :D i have been trying to expand my abilities, and my brothers tell me that brads are the best part of the "guy cards" i make :D (not that i can totally rely on them for a sense of style... haha!)

this is quick because i have some storytelling to do tomorrow for VBA (it's been going great this week), and i weeded at church after our "day" was over--thus, i am wiped out.

have a great thursday, and don't forget to enter the giveaway if you haven't. and please come back tomorrow for another post (*crosses fingers*) TFL :D

boy's bday card...

last weekend i went to two parties (well, three, really), one of which was a bday celebration for a guy friend from church. i'm still honing my "guy card" skills, and i don't claim to have a handle on them, but he seemed to like it, and my brothers approved as well.

later, though, i got the comment from ANOTHER guy friend (ahem *CHASEN*) that, "If a card has ribbon on it, it's not a guy card." oops. oh well.

hope you like it, i'll try to post some more attempts later :D

have a great weekend... only 1.5 days left of school!
