It's a busy week this week...5 birthdays in 3 days...and 3 of them are "boys"! (okay they are actually all over the age of 50 but are more like teenage boys than Katrina's friends!) I've always had a harder time making cards for the "boys" and NEVER have any in my stash...so this week I challenge all of us to create "boy" cards!

Here's what I've come up with so far...

I think you'll get a lot of agreement that men's cards are a stretch for most of us. It's good to get some in stock. Great job on your boys cards and thank you for hosting! I had a cancellation later this week, so I'll get to play after Wednesday.

Well I spoke too soon, my open schedule just got rebooked but I do have Thursday off so still a maybe. I'm going to push myself because I too need boy cards (and 2 little boy cards so those could be fun!).

Great cards Trudi and perfect for the men's in your life.....well done

Trudi, those are great masculine cards!

Yes... I also never have enough cards for guys. So thanks, Terri, for the challenge. And what a nice assortment of cards you have made... so far!!

Sorry ladies it's not my challenge this one come from Trudi...

Great example cards Trudi.....masculine cards are always a challenge...

Here is my card...my son in law has fifty acre of land with lots of trees and wild life this card will be his...
I used the masking tape technique for the background.

Well, I found some western designer paper at my local Ben Franklin so I came home and made this card using a digital image that I found on the internet. I was quite busy as I made three and will likely make more as I was having so much fun!

And of course I had to do a box card:

Terrie, what a zen card! Lovely!

Barry, great images and your coloring is fantastic!

Terrie, that is a lovely, peaceful card.

Barry, those are great cards and a wonderful images. I love the one where he is shooting from the hip. :lol:

Made this one on Sunday, but it was made with my scuba diving brother and cousin in mind. The shark is on an action wobble over a shaker background.
