I really struggled with my creation for this week peeps!  I'm still making the last of my organized convention swaps  & I want to continue to work on my masculine cards so I cut the card stock & laid out my pieces with a totally different concept in mind but once I'd done that....it didn't work for me!  I was upset but I also wasn't about to waste all my card stock so I continued to play with it until I came up with the design you see posted above.  I'm much happier with this card & I'm sure the recipients will be as well!!!
