Birthday Card for Male Using Pink Ink Designs Giraffe and CTMH products

Hello friends!  I hope you are doing well.  It has already started out as a crazy year.  We have had rain 4 weeks so far (part of Dec) with only a day or two (cloudy) here and there.  It is supposed to start raining again on Friday night.  That will be 5 weeks of rain.  Monday, we received 10 inches of rain.  CA has a severe drought; but now we are flooding everywhere.  I don't think the rain will be enough to make up for the drought.

I haven't really felt like coloring or creating anything; but I had to create a card for my great - granddaughter and one for my grandson.  It took me two days to find the Giraffe stamp set I bought a few years ago; which I have never used.  It took me another two days to figure out what type of card I wanted to make.  

This is my grandsons card.  He has always loved Giraffe's but I never could figure out what to do with this set once I bought it.  LOL!  I love it and I like how it turned out.

Click here for my new CTMH Videos. I added CTMH Workspace Wonder products to my desk a few years ago; and I was not able to use my video recorder on my desk after I did that.  It took me a long time to finally come up with a way to do videos with that same recorder; but on a different arm/holder.  Thanks for your patience.

Birthday Card for Husband Using CTMH Hawthorn Cardmaking Stamp & Thin cuts

Hello Friends!  I can't believe it is November 4th already.  Time flies when you are having fun; or even if you aren't.  LOL!  I hope everyone is doing well.  It will soon be Thanksgiving; which is a time to be grateful for everything and everyone.  

I tried to get this card done earlier; but I actually got it created on my husband's birthday.  His birthday is Halloween; so we went out for an early dinner and then he handed out candy to the kids.  He loves to hand out candy and see the kids all dressed up.

My husband always tells me to forget about making him a card; but how can I not make him a card when that is what I do to show love for my friends and family.  I think he enjoys them; even if he tells me not to.  I didn't use the thin cuts on this card; but it is part of the set.  It is a nice set for creating cards for men.
