put up the better pictures when I am able to get a new card reader...

SSS 193 "Victory" masculine card

Here's a card I created using this week's Sweet and Sassy sketch.
I liked this one a lot like the Mojo one from last week...
I love layers!! I love to layer and mix and match patterns... I made
this one masculine, I don't have a lot of paper good for masculine cards
but I need to get some more because I am starting to send 
my cards out to people at church that have lost loved
ones, having surgery, or just need a pick me up and there are just 
as many men that need cards as women so I'm trying to build my stash.


My Creation:


Supplies used:

Verve stamps, Stazon brown ink, Bark ep
Brown card stock, misc paper from Hobby Lobby
Champagne seam binding

to get my card uploaded for last Monday's challenge,
but here it is anyways! 


I just got this paper from Hobby Lobby, can't remember the brand
name at the moment put it's called Little Sport and I really
liked the patterns and colors and thought they
