A Masculine Bday Card... Always a Challenge!

Hello!  Today I tackled the task of making a birthday card for our cousin's birthday.  It took me FOREVER to get anywhere with this one!!  I decided to go pretty simple.  The printed paper is from Basic Grey, all of the card stock and stamping is Stampin Up!, and the sentiment is from PMS.  I am going to be entering this card into Party Time Tuesday's Anything Goes Birthday Challenge.  Well, thanks so much for stopping by!!  Hope to have some more to share in a bit!

Paper Make Up Stamps Challenge

The current MakeUp for the weekend challenge at Paper Make Up Stamps is to use graph or notebook paper on your cards.  I bought this spiral punch from SU! ages ago and I think tonight is the first time I have ever used it!!  The sentiment is from PMS, and I just love it.  Can you tell I had a little shopping spree over at the PMS store lately??  Katie actually emailed me after my last order and asked me if I keep ordering because I love getting mail from her every day!!  Hee hee!!  I just love these stamps!!  The word art is amazing.
