HB2U

March 11th...a special day...it is d's birthday!!! I have to admit making masculine cards is something that I really have to work hard at...I tend to gravitate to girlie colors and embellies. Wouldn't you say that blue and grey are masculine? The papers are from one of my favs right now, Amy Butler's Lotus line. I've been hoarding the Making Memories metal tiles for awhile...

'd' wanted to share his "card wall"...isn't that sweet? This is in his home office...makes me smile whenever I see it :)

Make sure you check back tomorrow, it's my day over at 365 Cards!

Just a smidge of enabling...did you check out my new enabling button ---->

Crop Chocolate, it's a something that I picked up from my making memories newsletter. Oy vey...yesterday they had the Making Memories Embellishment Center for only $44.99....tempting...soooo tempting but I didn't hit the "buy" button :)

Totally fab masculine card! (I have the same trouble making them) I never thought of Lotus being masculine, but this so is!

How Sweet that your man displays what you make for him like that!

Thanks for the Birthday wishes all! About the wall... I am a little concerned that I'm going to have to build a new office just to fit the cards! Holy cow I get a lot of them!

Joy said…
cute card! love those kinds...I never have enough of those! cute wall of cards too! HB2UD!
whoistracy said…
What a great idea- do you just have string between two tacks? Or something more involved to hang those up??
Susan said…
oh, this is perfectly masculine, Amy! love your use of those tiles (I have some of those stashed somewhere) and the big scale of the polka dots and the ribbon makes it all the more approriate. love that we get to peek at his card wall...how tender!

HB2U, 'd'...Amy's a dream!
I agree with you, the masculine ones are so hard for me. It's just easier to do the cute frilly ones, lol! Love the colors you chose!
Becky Carafa said…
I'm right there with you, boy cards are so hard. This one looks great though, love the HB2U!
Carla said…
The card is perfect! The colors and the touch of metal make it masculine. Not all man cards have to have a deer or an eagle on them!

Love the card wall!! Hmm...this one sounds like a keeper!
Laura said…
Love the metal tiles. Good idea to just use the "H" and "B". Also love the wall of fame!

Nessa said…

My first thought (before I even read your post) was "This would make a great guy card!" I love it!
Elaine said…
