So in honour of his growing up I decided to make him a "man" card lol. A fun project I have decided to do for both of our children is to make them a special card on special days in their lives and put them all in a memory box for them to read when they are adults :)
I have used the colour challenge at Dynamic Duos and the sketch from Inkspirational (http://inkspirationalchallenges.blogspot.ca), a new blog challenge I have found to play along at!
What type of a card is this? It is called a "Squash Fold" and it is SOOO much fun! I found a fabulous tutorial offered over at Do Stamping with Dawn. I have listed the link to her video below the Card Recipe, such a very talented women :)

My Card:
I was just saying to a friend this weekend how I really don't have many "man" stamp sets to use and I really felt that the colours this week at DD were suited to a manly card and low and behold what was one of the prizes I won at the event I attended?!?!?! Beyond Plaid & Dapper Dad :) WAHOO!!!
Take the time to let your creativity bloom!
