Hey Everyone! Yaaaay...it's Wednesday and time for another video! Today, I decided to create a card using some new Kaisercraft. The Up, Up & Away collection is so vintage. Here's a birthday card probably for a guy. So, take a peek at how I made it!

One more thing! Have you heard? There is a new challenge that has started. This time, it's photography related. You've got to check it out...it's hosted by none other than BoldLifestyle Photography (also known as McArthur's creative photography blog). He's been really wanting to host his own photography-based challenge and finally decided to take the plunge. So, what are you waiting for? Head on over to the blog here and see what the first challenge entails. Dust off your cameras and snap some photos. There's no need to be a professional. It's all about being creative and trying new things, just like any other paper crafting challenge. And you want to know what's great about it all? You can scrap these photos! Just think of the story behind each of them. I can't wait to participate myself and I hope you join me!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you have a great wonderful Wednesday.

What a great card! I love that stamp! It's so hard to make good looking masculine cards for me because I feel the more you add, the less masculine it gets but this card is great with all it's neutral colors! I love the idea of using taffeta on a masculine card, it's like boy ribbon! :) THanks for the great video!

Great card, Ashley! :)
I'm also super excited about your husband's new challenges. I just bought my first DSLR camera recently and I started going to a photography class just this week. So I am hoping to capture something worth submitting to his challenge. :)
I'll be sure to spread the word to the some of the other people in my photography class too!
Hope you have a great weekend!!!
