No-Frills Birthday

Making "guy" cards is often not easy. Making "young guy" cards is even more difficult, I think. Two of my nephews have March birthdays. They are in their early and late twenties. This is the card I made for one of them.


The patterned paper is from a pad from Recollections I just got. The border piece and matting are from Papertrey Ink. The sentiment is from All Night Media. I maybe normally wouldn't have bothered to share this card, but I had nothing else:)


On a personal note, our daughter-in-law had out-patient back surgery on Monday, and she is doing nicely. Hopefully she'll be back to normal soon. She will be happy to be able to lift her son again - after six weeks.


Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

    I really like this card! The simplicity and sophistication make it a perfect guy card! Glad your daughter is doing better -- each day will get better.

    Guy cards are definitely a challenge for me. Not every guy is a hunter to use deer or fishing themes or a golfer to us that as a theme. The bold stripes are great for guys and the nice CAS layout.

    Thanks for the idea. I agree that guy cards are hard to come up with ideas for. I prefer CAS cards like this one.

    Classy guy card Lynette.

    Glad Brooke is doing well, I bet she's glad the worst is over, and hopefully the end of a stressful time for all.
