I made this card as a belated birthday card to send to my Mother-in-law. 
This card is super simple yet catching to the eye! I really like this one. But there is one thing about it that bothers me, it is not sitting centered on the yellow background, when I went to place it down, it was off a little but STUCK and I wasn't going to try and tear it off and have it messed up, so I left it.
This is actually a guy card... can you tell?? Ha! Ok, so I am at a loss when it comes to making cards for guys these days. I pretty much have NO manly stamps and I usually borrow stamp sets from my mom since she has a vast collection. But I have not gotten any manly sets recently from her, and I think it's about time I do! So anyway, hopefully my step-father-in-law won't think this is too "girly" looking. Besides who says men only like bears, deer and guns???
I went ahead and did a digital page for this color challenge. I am really liking the colors Dawn is coming up with for these challenges. This one just happens to have colors that I LOVE right now!
I originally was going to do a digital layout for this color challenge. But when I saw I had the colors of paper on hand, I decided to go ahead and make a card. I don't totally like this card. But it was still fun trying to come up with a look with all these colors, they're so fun and cheerful! For some reason I have a hard time with coming up with a cool look for my cards at times. I find myself looking at other peoples cards wondering "why can't I do something that cool, and come up with the idea on my own?" Ha! I guess we all go through those thoughts and feelings. Anyway, for now I will have to like what I create and be happy with who I am and how I make things. Maybe I will get better at this as I go.
Two of the three handsomest men/boys in my life!
The card Isaac made for Daddy (with a little help from Mommy).
I had to make this super quick (cause to my dismay I did not have his card made ahead of time). I really think that the "card making flame" that I had going so good for a while is starting to burn out. I just can't create anything good looking anymore. Ha! Maybe it's that I just have trouble with finding much "manly" stuff to work with.
Sorry, my photography "skills" are pretty horrible these days. 
This is the birthday card I ended up sending to my friend (who I mentioned in an earlier post).
Happy March! 
He did such a good job, he stamped it and then placed the button where he wanted them. Later he told me he wanted to take a picture of it, so I helped him with the camera and he took his own picture, he was very proud of his work!
This is the card I created for my nephew. I don't have many boyish or manly stamp sets and hope this isn't too young looking for a 7 year old.
I made two birthday cards, in mind for a friend's birthday coming up. The first one I wasn't sure I liked, then I made this one. Well, I ended up sending her the first one, cause I just didn't know if I liked this one well enough. Anyway, she'll be getting the first one and I'll show that later. I also made another card that I will show later as well.
