Boy, Oh Boy ...

Well I'm not a huge fan of cards for men.  Mainly because most men I know don't seem to be in touch with their feminine side.  ie they don't seem to appreciate pink, glitter, flowers, or anything cute.

I just can't understand why not.  And I kind of feel that today's card looks only half finished without all these embellishments.

However, I did manage to create a little scene using 2 images, one of which is actually a spooky Halloween window, but I popped young Tommy's head over the spooky cobweb so you can just see the window.

Unfortunately this little fella appears to have missed his target during his ball practice ...



This fortnight's challenge at Top Tip Tuesday is 1 for the Men. We're sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and The Crafty Pad.

What a great idea whit the window. I think you did great, I am the same when it comes to man's card ... they really look very dull, because you can't put a lot of embellishments on them. Hugs! Mojca
