Good Morning...Happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy your visit. My brother in laws birthday is next week...here is the card I made for him. I went way out of my comfort zone on this...first I went for a distressed look and second it is 4.75 by 7.50 which is larger than I normally like to make. Had I made an A2 card, the images could barely be visible. I'm not sure I like it but there is no time to make another so I guess he's stuck with it...after all it IS the thought that counts...right? I feel that I have to wash my hands after touching it...I suppose it's mind over matter, the cardstock is new, it is clean...it just looks dirty and I feel the need to wash my hands...is that weird or what---
Here is the recipe---

Yeppers it is a perfect "man" card! Love all the distressing! Totally awesome GF!

This is surely a different style from you but you did a fantastic job. Any man would love this. I am like you, I prefer the A2 Size but this card is great. Love the colors. Have a good weekend! Your Ohio Friend, Lorene
I'm like you, I like the "cleaner" cards, but this is perfect for a male. Man cards come very hard for me. I like mine feminine. Does us good to get out of our comfort zone sometimes and see what great things we can come up with. Love your card.
cute story Kelly, you make me laugh,,
this card is awesome for a guy and he will love it. it reminds me of a comfy old pair of jeans....love it!!!

Kelly, you are too funny! Washing your hands???? Well, maybe after doing all that distressing, but this is a perfect male card, and I'm sure your BIL will appreciate all the love and discomfort you went thru..lol. Even out of your CZ you did an amazing job on this creation. Have a great weekend my friend.

Kelly, you are a card!! I cracked up reading the prelude to the picture. Do you need hand sanitizer? All kidding aside this is fantastic. I love the way the distressing makes the paper look like fabric. You combined great colors and textures. It's fun to go outside the comfort zone sometimes, and just look at what you can accomplish!! I took your advice and started a blog. If you get a chance, stop by suescraftymess.blogspot.com
