Today I am going to share with you my go to card for birthdays. I have made this card a few times. You can make it quickly and I think it works for men too. I gave it to my, gulp, now 18 year old son yesterday. The first card I made looked too babyish. So, I went with the old dependable. Isn't it hard to make cards for men? Plus the men in my life do not appreciate when I make a card for them anyway. I think my husband and son think I am nuts that I toil over making cards when you can even get them at gas stations. That is right I live with a couple of Barbarians. They reside in my basement and stare at the magic blue light together and repeat bad movie line from the action movies they watch and laugh at each other. Also, did I mention the smell? I am sure none of you can related to that. Oh yeah and they punch each other in the arm a lot...like I said, "Modern Day Barbarians".

ReplyDeleteI love your sense of humour!! Your card is gorgeous, and it is a great card for a guy. I'm sure your son appreciated it. Your craft room looks lovely too & I like your coffee mug :) Have a great weekend!!
ReplyDeleteSuper masculine card.....love the glasses!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I just posted on FB regarding the smell! this is the perfect card of the "new man" in your life ;-)
ReplyDeleteSaw this over on FB and came for a closer look. Great design for either guy or gal. I'm in the same boat... DH doesn't understand but figures it keeps me busy, happy and out of his hair! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for coming and looking. My husband is the same. He only says anything when it spills out of my crafting area onto the dining room table.
DeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great "guy" card. Give yourself a punch in the arm -- you did good!
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie. Did you see the ribbon on last weeks FWF card? It came from a friend of mine:)
Deletegreat card, my nephew just turned 19 yesterday and I was hold cow when did he get so old (he is now able to buy alcohol)
ReplyDeleteMy nieces and nephews are having babies. I am a great aunt. The first time I said great aunt "ouch" that hurt. I can not believe I have an 18 year old. But I have a 7 and 11 year old to keep me young.
DeleteGreat card, your post was just too funny!
ReplyDeleteThe card is so FUN! I love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat card, LB! You made me laugh with your description of the guys in your life - but I'm sure they do appreciate your card making efforts (they just won't admit it). :) So glad you are joining us for FWF again! Lovely blog, by the way! :)
ReplyDeleteHey LB, congrats on being one of the FWF Winners! It's the little things, like winning some crafty goodness that make playing all that much more fun :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Lucy for letting me know. Yeah
DeleteSounds like your house is a FUN place to be. My oldest son will be 30 this year…the year that I turn FIFTY!! I'd love a card that someone toiled over just like this one, fun stuff!
