Sharing a card for this week's Seize the Birthday! This week, same sketch, but for a masculine card. Four male birthdays in my family during the month of May and I think this one will be suitable for my hubby! LOL I couldn't wait to use my new Bow Ties patterned paper I picked on the weekend at Scrapfest in Kitchener. When I was there I had the pleasure of finally meeting up with Virginia Lu, she is as sweet as can be. We kept each other in check with our shopping--not even.
I think we just enabled each other. LOL
Here is the sketch:
