Control Freaks August Blog Hop - Whats Up Dude

Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the August Tour de Freaks Blog Hop!

This month, the theme is "What's Up, Dude?"!

Whether you are arriving from Connie's blog

or just starting out here, you will have lots of great ideas

to incorporate into your own crafting projects!

Masculine cards are always the hardest for me to create.

One thing I find that makes it easy is to start with the deep,

rich colors. Really, any layout can work with a simple swap of

color. Here, I have one simple and one stepped up card that

both feature all of the sentiments together on the front. 

Why choose just one, when you can use them all?! 

Of course, you could save one for a little surprise on the inside, too!
