Monster Mash!!

 Hello everyone: I always hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

****************************************************

I mentioned in my last post, that I don't create masculine cards as often as I should, not even for my grandsons or nephews, I recall a time when they were little boys and it was very easy to make a card with little trains or cars, etc. 

This card is created with one of my first sets from Stampin' Up!, and it was a favorite for young boys or girls, for that matter.   I haven't used this set in years and that is sad but now, I received a request from a Triathlon friend, for a card for a 7 year old little boy who is one of her partner's grandkids, who's having a party in a couple of weeks.

Masculine cards for adults are hard to create, I remember making cards for my grandsons when they were little, those were fun to make, with trains and little cars, dogs and drums, etc.

I have NO masculine cards around, I always make cards with flowers or cute critters but, for my adult friends and grandsons, those just won't work so, I made a point to start making a good stash of masculine cards, and here is the first one, this set from Stampin' Up! is just perfect for this purpose.

I like to make Christmas cards throughout the year, and Christmas cards challenges are a great way to add to your Holiday stash so, that when December comes along, you don't have to be scrambling to make your cards for family and friends.
