Take a little trip with me through retro TV Land and imagine yourself sitting in a classroom. As you look around, you see 'Greasers' everywhere and Afros are the stylin' hairdo. The teacher approaches the blackboard and writes, "Who dislikes making masculine cards?" Suddenly from behind you, you hear..."Ooh Ooh Ooh, Mr. Kotter-r-r-r, pick me, pick me!!" That's right, I'm sitting right behind you playing the role of the lovable Arnold Horshack.
What is it about masculine cards that cause my brain to seize up? Well, it's several factors, but for the sake of not dragging this post out further, I'd like to share my contribution to the world of manly-man cards and a fun little tip too.
This week at
Our Creative Corner, I will be hosting and the theme I have selected is

Want a fun tip to add more texture to your masculine cards?

Our Creative Corner, you'll find even more outstanding motivation from my team. Just remember,
MAKE MINE MUSHY!!
Hugs n' Happy Crafting,
