This simple scrapbook page features a color blocking layout and is embellished with stamped snowflakes to match the colors in the layout. Although not traditionally colors for winter layouts, I chose them because of their strong masculine feel that complimented the photo of my son, Brandon.

This masculine birthday card features the jumbo eyelet and antique brass hodgepodge hardware. After cutting out the baroque motif stamped image, I set the eyelet using my crop-a-dile (love this tool) before layering it on it's background so that the blue would pop through.

The hardware frame was attached with hemp twine which was tucked behind the layered stripes before adhering it to the base of the card. All edges were sponged with chocolate chip ink for added depth.

This card uses the Embrace Life stamp set with the Ginger Blossom designer paper featured in the 2008 SU Spring Summer collection. The central flower was colored in using the watercolor wonder crayons and the aqua-painter accented with a rhinestone brad.

I designed this card for one of our monthly demonstrator shoebox swaps. In our group, I'm notorious for elaborate creations. This is about as simplistic as I get.
