OWH Midweek Throwdown-Shipper's Choice (Masculine Cards)

Hey there everyone!

We had an awesome thunderstorm here last night in Mannheim, Germany! I just love thunderstorms!! It calmed me down some and brought back some of my creative juices, so I tried to get this challenge over with while I still had them :) It has been super hot over here lately, and everyone has been BBQing out on their grills and kids are always running around, so I thought this card would be a perfect summertime card! It can be used for "Father's Day", a general "I miss you", or just a simple, "Hello, Im thinking of you today" card! Enjoy! :)



Masculine cards seem to be a challenge in itself for me lately. I made A LOT of Father's Day cards earlier this year to send to Operation Write Home (operationwritehome.org) and just haven't had the energy or ambition I guess to get into making more....but, thankfully, for this challenge, I found the energy to get some masculine cards done!

Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my card, I hope you enjoyed and maybe even got a little inspired to go make your own masculine card! I know I usually get my own inspiration from the ladies on OWH blogs!! :)

  5. Sara, I am so glad I came across you blog. I enjoyed looking around. I had to go look at your bloghop cards - very nice. I like the one with the flowers - simple but elegant - a good card for a soldier to send home to him wife or Mom or girlfriend. I also like you masculine card. Very cute. Thank you also for your kind comments on my blog. Look forward to seeing more of your cards! Blessings, Louise Fox
