So anyway, I needed a quick and easy masculine card to send to my brother, who spends the winters freezing his tail off in Whitefish, Montana. Talk about crazy. I was freezing all day today because the temp in Kahului didn't get over 76 degrees!!! So the quick and easy was necessary because I seriously doubt that my almost-30-year-old-but-still-thinks-he's-18 brother will have any true appreciation for the effort that goes into a handmade card. He'll appreciate the cash I put inside, use it at the local bar after the mountain closes for the day, and probably not even notice that I actually made the card with my own 2 hands!!! Ok, on to the card....
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Brocade Blue, River Rock CS; DSP from old Home Again Simply Scrappin' Kit (SU!)
Stamps: Party Hearty (SU!)
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: Scallop border punch, Chocolate Chip ribbon (SU!); EK Success Art Blanche Chipboard Numbers (Island Paperie); Nestabilities tag die.

Well I come here for a cheery card and you have to go and remind me about the big 3-0 ;)
I was one of those born in 1980. Yep, 30 next year....{sob,sob}
Cute card though :)
Ha, I'm a 1980 baby also ... too funny. Great card, though. :)
I love this card. May have to case it a little..... Thanks for the heads up on people born in the 80's. Did you realize that my oldest was born in 1986. FREAKIN weird thought. Great how depressing..... I'm OLD

Hi Jen - I've never posted on your blog before, but I stalk from the Verve site from time-to-time. Just had to tell you the little blurb about your little brother and spending the cash at the bar and not even noticing the card was handmade had me ROTFL - that's totally my little bother - LOL
Fun card - even if he writes it off as a Hallmark...
