For the guys in my life, the simpler the better. I was playing at my friend's house with her new Stampin' Up stuff (the very best kind of play date!) and thought this brilliantly colored paper was all the accent that this card needed!
Speaking of my men...I put Andrew on a plane yesterday with his high school band heading to Washington D.C. for the inauguration.

Just as I was finishing up this post, my sister-in-law, who lives in D.C. texted me this picture of their performance this morning. They had to play at 8:30 D.C. time which would have felt like 6:30 a.m. Denver time. Ouch. Teenagers do not function well at that time.
But, she also sent this very blurry cell phone picture of him saying "Hi" to us back in Denver. He appears to be smiling.

They have free time this afternoon - hopefully my son will remember to snap some pictures of himself in front of various D.C. monuments. On Monday, they are actually going to the inaugural festivities! I told him to take a picture, even though I would guess that there will be a million people there and the President will be a little dot in the far distance. Even so, there aren't many people who can say they have been to an inauguration!

You've really seized the masculine with this card, Kims! It could be for any man, or any person from a Western or rustic point of view! And I'm inspired by how you did your button!

ReplyDeleteI can never get this kind of layering to work but your card is fab! How wonderful for your son to be playing at the inauguration - 6.30am may not be his usual optimum time but I'm sure adrenalin will get him through on this occasion!
