Dinos and Dogs for Guys





Happy Friday everyone!!! I love Fridays....since I'm a working person...it's the day I look forward to the most...LOL!!
I used to have the hardest time with guy cards.....it's hard for me not to use ribbons and flowers...but I'm really getting the hang of it now......I think!!! LOL!! These two cards are really simple and I did use ribbon on the first one, but I think if it's a guy color and you don't tie a big ole pretty bow....it's alright!
The first card is for my Uncle.....he's been so ill for some time now that I thought a funny cheerful card might help brighten his day when he sees it....so I went for goofy! The papers are Bo Bunny and the dog, hat and gift all came from the Cricut Paper Pups cartridge, of course I added a bit of ribbon, a few brads and black Rain Dots for his eyes, then I distressed it with my favorite of all time Chestnut Roan cats eye chalk ink. The sentiment is computer generated and then cut out by hand.
The second card is for my cousin's youngest boy.....what a CUTIE!!! All boys love Dinos...right? So I recently found the Cuttlekid items on sale at WM and I usually buy all of my stuff from Hallmark Scrapbook, but I didn't have the Dino set yet and it was marked down to $2 so hey.....I had to have it!!! So, the printed paper is....I can't remember....I used my scraps and I don't know....if you recognize it maybe you will share with me...LOL!!! The sign and grass is from the Cricut Zoobaloo cartridge, of course the trees and dinos are from Cuttlekids, the party hats are a stamp from Kim Hughes' set call U R A Hoot that I purchased at Cornish Heritage Farms, they have black Rain Dots for eyes and last but not least...the sentiment is computer generated.
Don't forget to answer my question and get a chance to win a PRIZE!!!! Thanks for dropping by today!!! Have a wonderful weekend!!!
