Masculine Birthday

 As a scrapbooker turned card maker, I have always been drawn to designer papers. Last month I made the discovery of a tiny scrapbooking store in our very small town just a couple miles from my house! I met a new friend, thoroughly enjoyed having a look around and came home with a few papers. 

We live in a lake community so the papers from Simple Vintage Lakeside (Simple Stories) were a great find. They are featured on today's card. 


I layered two of my favorites pages with a white panel. Then die cut a
focal point with the boat extended past the die and trimmed with scissors. 


The only stamping? The sentiment! 

I'm playing with the challenge at The Paper Players


I am glad to have a masculine birthday card added to the stash. I really do appreciate your visit, and hope your day is enjoyable! 

 Be yourself

          Have delight in your craft 

               Make something beautiful!

Oh, how beautiful! Brilliant use of these papers when I know how hard it can be to cut into them. This looks like it might be just the perfect papers for card making or scrapbooking. I started with scrapbooking, too. I'm so glad you found that little shop!

I miss all of the little shops that used to be in my area. So happy you found a new little happy place! This is a wonderful card, Cindy. It has a nice masculine vibe to it!

How blessed to find that special little shop! I absolutely LOVE this card--those vintage papers make the sketch really pop! The lake scene with the duck, and the little boat embellishment make me want to go on vacation! LOVE THIS! Thanks for playing with our sketch this week at the Players!
