Enjoy the Ride

Blue, birthday and buttons sounds like a good excuse to make a man's card.  Of course if you want to join the Cooking It Up with Katie challenge 99 you don't have to make a masculine card, just use blue.  I just need to be poked to make masculine cards.  This card could have been sent to a woman until I stamped "birthday boy" in the license plate area.  So, if you need to be poked, then make a masculine card.


Here's the deets:
stamp - Papertrey Ink "Enjoy the Ride"
ink - Memento "Tuxedo Black"
paper - Stampin' Up "Crumb Cake" cs, "Pawsitively Prints" (striped paper)and "Patterns Pack II" (girds) dsp
miscellaneous - Papertrey Ink coordinating die for "Enjoy the Ride"; mini brads; buttons; machine stitching

Here's the challenges:
Cooking It Up with Katie #99 - Make a Birthday Card with Blue Buttons
Sisterhood of Stampers - Let's Hear It for the Boys
Top Tip Tuesday - One for the Men
Crafts and Me #92 - Stitching

This is for this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  The stamps and matching die are from Papertrey Ink.  Sometimes it's just good to make a card and not have to color it in!

I picked up this pack of paper at Michael's because of the strawberry paper, I have a strawberry friend so I'm always looking for stuff to send to her.  According to the shelf it was supposed to cost about $8 but it's a good size pad and after all it's got strawberries, so I went for it.  I'm so glad I did because it rang up for $3.  That was a welcome surprise.  I wish all my shopping experiences ended like that.
