"Boy Bear"
I have been spoiled by 2 granddaughters and used to making "girly" cards and frilly stuff. Now that I have a grandson, I need to get in the groove to make "boy" cards and non-frilly stuff. I have had this darling image by Bugaboo sitting on my workspace colored and waiting to be made into a card. Yesterday was the day and I tried to keep within the "boy" guidelines...no frilly anything or big fluffy bows. I think, it all worked out just fine. Since, I always struggle with birthday cards for boys, this will fit the bill, perfectly. I used some star paper from the All About Boys stack by DCWV and the Numbers embossing folder by Provo Craft. The sentiment is a stamp by Heide Grace, punched with the Ticket Corner punch by SU! A red star and a blue brad finish off this "boyish" card.

I know just what you mean about creating girly cards. They are my favorite style of cards, but when I have to create a card for my son, I always have to stop, think, and rack my brain a bit. Your card turned out absolutely amazing! I love the blue and red combination, the stars, your coloring...ok, just everything!
