This weekend my mission (that I accepted gladly!) was to make 14 birthday cards, one of which must be masculine. I created this interesting offering! I thought I'd share and delineate the reasons I think it might be "okay" for a MAN card.1. Distressed
2. Neutral - woodsy colors
3. No ribbons, bows, or buttons (or bling - yikes!)
4. Simple
5. To the point.
I think the papers are from Basic Gray - the sentiment is Close-to-My-Heart from the set that has ALL the birthday greetings in one set - the colors of ink were Cocoa and Olive. I regret that CTMH retired the textured cardstock (the little band of cocoa paper that I sanded to reveal the white core) because it always added so much interest to a project.
I'm SO glad it's almost Friday - what a long (short) week!! LOL Why are the short weeks so difficult? Do we really work harder - or is it just that we enjoyed the long weekend SO much that we are craving more time off? Do you have any fun plans??
Hugs!

Were I to comment on every card I have regrettably missed recently, I would be here until it is time to go to work in the morning. Wow! You have made some fun, amazing cards, my friend. No shortage of mojo at your house! I love them all. Even more, I love you for sharing them.
I am carving more time off, too. Maybe we do work too or take it too seriously. All I know is that my brain is fried at the end of the day and I am glad I have hobbies and friends like you to share them with. We have some plans for the weekend but not so many I won't be able to squeeze in a bit of R&R.
Have a great Friday, Sharli!
Great 'man' card Sharli, and all the reasons are spot on. Men....
