Birthday Card For A Man Using Anna Griffin Products

Hello friends! I hope everyone is having time to craft.  I have had less time to craft; because I am trying to get healthier; which takes time and energy.  I know crafting helps keep my stress level down; but how do all of you manage to work in exercise plus all the other things that need to be done in your home?

I created these three cards last year; but haven't had time to post them.  I know they aren't the same as my regular cards; but sometimes you don't want a fancy card for a man; especially if they are just going to throw them away.  LOL!  I doubt that very many men keep their cards.  

These were created for 3 of the golfers in my family.  The top one was for my grandson, Trey (He just graduated last year from Golfing school in Myrtle Beach, SC)  The brown background was for my son, Aaron; who lives in Argentina (Missionary) and the bottom right one was for my Brother-in-law, Darrell.  All 3 are avid golfers.  My brothers, Buddy and David also golf; but I ran out of golf toppers.  LOL!





Supplies used to create these cards are:

Card Base - Anna Griffin Perfect Patterns for Him 
Toppers - Anna Griffin Collage Card Toppers For Him
Sentiments inside - Anna Griffin Artfully Said (Used different sentiments)

Hello friends!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It is really hot in Southern CA; and I have heard it is hot in most areas of the US right now.   I am trying to stay cool by staying indoors and trying to find time to craft.  LOL!

I am entering this card in "As You Like It Challenge".  The topic is Favorite Celebration and why.  I have always loved Christmas.  I love riding around to see the Christmas lights and decorations, the smell of a fresh Noble Fir Christmas tree, spending time with family and so much more.  You can feel the excitement in the air at Christmas, more than any other time of year.
