A La Card Monkey Challenge #57 meets PPC #59

I had a workshop the other evening and it was SO fun to be back in my studio ~ so I was hunting around for a challenge to enter this morning and found two that would be perfect for a masculine Birthday Card.
Here's a peek at the two challenges that I brought together!
A La Card Monkey was a birthday challenge ~ PERFECT!!!


and now the hunt for the colors that I needed to go with the stamp set that I had in mind....
....Perfect Picture Creations #59 ~ Perfect Once Again!!!


So while everything seemed to be going Perfect, why not take a picture of my creation
outside on this Perfectly Beautiful Day! Here is one of the 'rock features' that Dean has created in our
yard and again....a Perfect place to take a picture



And so, without any further ado and rambling...here is my masculine Birthday Card!



and the inside for you to have a peek at


Thank you SO much for stopping by ~ I hope you enjoyed your time here today ~
I am sitting on our deck putting this post together and it is wonderful out here...so my other Happy place seems to be calling me, so on with my grubs and time to dig in the earth and get some more flowers planting ~ if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask ~ I love hearing from you ~
~ Have A Wonderful Day ~

If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of my many clubs or classes! Drop me a line for further info! I'd love to meet you! Enjoy your day

    What a great masculine card. I was just thinking about this stamp yesterday and wishing I had it. Wonderful golf ball. I like this sketch - may have to try it too.

    I love that you took the sketch in a "masculine" direction with the golf theme. How fun that you decorated the inside of the card, too!

Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!!
