I was able to enjoy a day off yesterday.  I spent it stamping, napping, reading, napping and baking.  My allergies are kicking my butt, which is the reason for all the napping but between naps I did manage to finish this card.  I did this card for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge , which was to use fall colors and/or leaves and used the Mojo Monday sketch .  I used Our Daily Bread Designs Brocade background and Happy Fall. What I used: Our Daily Bread Designs Happy Fall , Brocade Background SU chocolate chip, crumb cake, whisper white card stock the Paper Studio Mirabelle paper Memento black apron edge punch Copic markers brown jumbo brads, chocolate grosgrain ribbon

I love making man cards!  I know that is weird, since most people find them a bit hard to do, but they are so my thing.  I love the rich earth tones and rough textures that make a card manly.  Add a bit of sponging, a simple layout, some hardware and there you have it; the perfect man card!  Gotta love it.

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope your week has been great and that you have the weekend off to play like I do.   This is a pretty rare event for me and I am taking full advantage of the love the scheduling fairy has shown me by giving me the holiday weekend off.  Tomorrow the hubby and I are attending a Rascal Flatts concert, Sunday I am hoping to get a little creative time in then Monday we are taking the littles to the NYS Fair.  So busy, busy weekend packed full of fun.  Okay I should probably stop gloating and tell you about my card that is the real reason you have stopped by to visit.  Todays card if for this weeks Bellarific Friday challenge which was to use an animal.   This adorable Turtle Tot is actually the only animal bella stamp I own, tragic isn't it?  I will have to remedy that just as soon as I convince my kids that they really don't have to eat so often, LOL.
