Hi Again!
*Please remember to comment on my blog candy, which is due on
8-10-12. You can click on the photo of my candy on the side bar.*
I hope you are having a great weekend! I needed some masculine cards
made up to thank my son and his friend. My son's friend, Charlie,
brought back some yummy goodies of peaches and strawberry rhubarb
jam while visiting with his parents in North Carolina. So, the above
card is for Charlie. The next card is for my son, Jeremy...
New parts were bought, but the parts were defective. He had to send
them back to the factory. Anyways, it was a long process! And, we
are so happy to have our computer back again! I don't have a computer
stamp, but he does play hockey in a rec league. So, I colored the hockey
image with colored pencils for this card. I recently bought the star
embossing folder. I thought I could also use it for other occasions
such as 4th of July, Christmas, and birthdays. I love
the added touch it gave for this card. Well, thanks so much
for dropping by today! Time to enjoy some evening weather
by taking a short bike ride. Take care, hugs!

Your masculine cards are wonderful. I always have trouble myself in creating them. You're lucky your son has a knack for computers.

Those are awesome, masculine cards, Maria. I haven't seen that particular star folder but it is great. I'm thinking your son and his friend will appreciate these cards.
