2 Masculine Birthday Cards

I have finally managed to work stamping into my schedule..at the beginning of April I decided to go on a diet and exercise program to lose weight... the 30 min of exercise was leaving me very tired and drained, but I have perserved for a few weeks now and I am starting to get my energy back I am upto 45 Min of exercise on my treadmill and I am so being faithful to eating correctly. Finally this week I have managed to make a few cards and now I am trying to squeeze blogging into the schedule. It seems as I lose weight and exercise more my ability to get things done quicker is improving. I am also finding it harder to sit in one place for too long... Ithink my metabolism is picking up. I think it was at a stand still. I am doing a lot more. I have a long way to go to be the weight I should be...my goal right now is to just get where according to a BMI Chart I can say I am not obese...just over weight.



Here are the two cards I made for my Nephews..One is turning 25 and the other is turning 11.

I chose to use Wildlife Reserve I really like it for masculine cards. My Cardstock choices were Basic Gray and Always Artichoke. I colored the images with my Prismas and felt AA went well with the greens in the images. These are basic cards. I used my SU Punches for the squares. and mounted them on dimensionals..Didnt add Ribbons or frills in hopes of keeping them more masculine. I used "Argyl" and "Dimonds in the Rough" cuttlebug folders to add some texture to the backgrounds. I hope you like them.

...Until Later... Happy Stamping!
