Take two-a masculine theme!

Last week was my birthday

not only was I sick

but my husband was out of town...

the cats and I celebrated alone...

I talked with a few friends

and I knew I had an "incoming call" while I was in the middle

of one conversation...

I am not too techno-savvy

I do not know how to switch back and forth

so I didn't try.

A day later

I got the voicemail message from my stepson, Tommy,

wishing me a happy birthday!

It was a nice surprise

and I wanted to let him know I really appreciated

him thinking about me & taking time to call...

So here's what I made:

again-it's all SU papers and dies...the Framelets that I used yesterday

only rotated it on the fold..

this is really easy to do...but yet looks complicated & impressive ; )!

I used Baker's twine to add some red---

and embossed that anchor in silver...

of course popped up that image on the front

as well as the anchor!

stamped the journal pages several times and layered them

making a small envelope out of the top one and adding

a half-moon notch to it...

tucked in the letter and it's ready to mail!

Guy cards can be a real challenge

but these SU products made it really easy

and the fact that Tommy LOVES boats, boating...

well, that just sealed the deal!

Off to do some serious flyladying to an overflowing bedroom-

gonna do a few rounds of 15 mins. today

and try to keep that up until it's done.

Tomorrow I will have the card

I need to make tonight for my dear friend Betsy

who has survived (hopefully!) another frantic tax season.

(she's a CPA!)

Until next time,

happy stamping and scrapping!

Blessings,
