Masculine Fall Birthday

Hi All!! Boy I almost said Happy Friday...not there yet. I have so much going on as of late I can't keep track of anything! Although I remembered that the 26th was my brother in laws birthday, I totally was clueless that the 26th was Saturday!!! Yikes!!! I didn't have any maculine cards on hand and even checked the stores for a card to buy and didn't see any I liked. So....I created a real quickie last night to put in the mail today!!!

I used the Memory Box Autumn Splendor leaves and the sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Birthday set. I used yesterday's sketch SC247. The dp is from Recollections Autumn Collection. The leaves on the bottom were cut out using a MS leaf border punch that is pretty new on the market.

I really don't enjoy making masculine cards as much. Guess I just love adding frills!

I am so sorry for the super short post but I have company coming for the weekend (my house has been very neglected and I have a lot to catch up on!!), a charity auction I am making crafts for that needs to be completed by tomorrow, and I have so many places to go today.

I hope you all have a fabulous day! Thanks for stopping by!!

Patti J said...: Gosh girl, wish we lived closer, I'd help you out with your charity stuff! I'm a pretty good 'cutter', and some days I paste well too! Love your gorgeous fall card. Fall is SO much more 'user friendly' with markers and crayons than summer is! Great job, Chris! (oh...and what in this world could you possibly need WW for? You look like you could perhaps weigh in at 115 dripping wet!!!); September 24, 2009 at 3:47 PM

Michelle said...: Chris - I think this is a great masculine card. When I came to your blog I instantly said "ohh" as I really like the layout you used. Masculine cards are very hard for me - I like pink just way too much, lol! Anyway, great job!!; September 24, 2009 at 6:24 PM
