Hey Everyone! Todays cards are inspired by Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop. Although this card is not for the Blog Hop, I still wanted to use burlap and stitching. I needed a masculine card and thought the burlap would be a great fit along with Men of Life stamp set. I love pairing chocolate + pure poppy + kraft (burlap) + spring rain + cream for the Men of Life set.
Later this afternoon, we're headed to the White House for a tour. I have visited the White House as a child and have vague memories of the red and blue rooms, so it will be fun to see if anything has changed (seriously doubt it) and how I will perceive it as an adult. I'm looking forward to a fun day in DC! There will be limited photos because no cameras are allowed. I'll see what I can do with my iPhone, so look for some TWEETS!
Don't forget to check back at 5:00 pm EST for my Papertrey Ink Blog Hop posting. I am going to try to remember to add the link from my iPhone because I'm sure I'll still be out and about at that hour. The card will have MORE BURLAP and STITCHING!! I had so much fun making these two cards!
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!
