Some friends welcomed their baby son recently, I made this card with the limited supplies I have on hand as much of my goodies are still packed in a shipping container! I bought some dies and downloaded and printed some pretty paper, no ink or stamps ….. just paper and glue!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

This challenge is a new one for me, I was drawn to it because this months theme is ‘Masculine’ which is always a struggle for me as I am into floral and glitter – not too many of the fellas in my life would really appreciate that!!

If you, like me, have difficulty with masculine cards I have one that will help you today. I think the simplest thing to start with is the colors, I chose the Thoughtful Journey decorative paper, picked out a couple of the more masculine colors then broke out the Grove Dies for the first time!
