Happy Birthday :: Masculine Style

Hey there, Bleeps! I hope you enjoyed your weekend! I got the chance to head over to Archiver's in Raleigh and enjoyed a good hour and half visit there! I took my time, perused the aisles and even picked up patterned paper, a rare purchase for myself! I plan to share a few of my purchases with you on Wednesday. So, look for that later this week!

Last night, I started working on a card and couldn't finish it because I was too tired. I thought I would wake up early enough to finish it this morning, but that did not happen either! So, here is a card I made last weekend. It's a masculine birthday card that feels so 'natural.'

I'll be back tomorrow to share the infamous card that I cannot quite finish! It's not even a difficult one! :)

Take care and thanks for visiting!
