Challenge #367 - Masculine

Hello All! Renee here hosting this week's challenge. This week the challenge is masculine. I don't know about you, but I always forget to do masculine projects for the guys in my life. I always tend towards girly projects. I was thankful for the push to do a masculine card.

For my project I created this card using a cute boy stamp which I altered to look like my son who will most likely get this card.

Below are the other projects created by our design team. When you are done perusing these, don't forget to like up your project to the challenge.

Gail

Here's my masculine card for this challenge.

I did this card for my son to give to a little friend of his for his birthday this week.

Challenge #365 - Music

Amanda here with this week's challenge! The theme this week is Music! This is one of my absolute favourite things to scrap! I would estimate that 75% of my layouts have been inspired by music in some way, whether it be lyrics, song title or artist name! So for this week we want to see how music inspires you to create!

For my project this week I used the title and lyrics to my country's national anthem
- only fitting to do a layout since today is Canada Day!

This is what the DT came up with!

Doreen
I used the song "Scream" by Avenged Sevenfold to scrap that time that my husband
had someone to go on "Supreme Scream" with, because I'm too chicken to do it, LOL

Product Info: Elle's Studio, Kelly Purkey, Simple Stories, Tim Holtz,
and Webster's Pages

Gail
My card includes musical note patterned paper and a stamped tag that has musical notes in the background.

Heather R
