I really looked at the calendar yesterday and realized that this month is almost over already... holy cow, when did that happen?!
This means that I've only got a couple weeks before my cards are due for Gabby's Miss Anya/My Guy Ian card swap over at Splitcoast Stampers... yikes! So I got down to business and got all four of my Ian cards done, whew! So this is what I came up with for the swap.
I used one of the My Guy rubber stamps but opened his eyes up using digi Autumn Ian's eyes and the technique I shared over at Club Anya. I don't do a whole ton of guy cards but I have a lot of fun with them when I do and this one was no exception... though I may have gone a bit crazy with the distressed edge stamp... LOL! :)
Still, I like it and I hope that whoever gets them likes them too. :)
Now I've got to get my Miss Anya ones done... there are a lot more choices with them so hopefully I can narrow things down and get busy. Wish me luck!
Ok, time to get ready for work.
Toodles!

Good morning Amy. This is too cute! OOps I mean Cool! I love the brads and the destressed edges. I don't know of anyone that would not love to have this card. The star on the hat is just a fantastic idea..What guy that wears a baseball cap would wear one that didn't have some kind of saying or picture on it. Great jobs. Have a good day, Lisa
