We Create Masculine Cards Blog Hop

My husband and I just returned from a trip to the Oregon Coast.   What is it about the ocean that provides such a respite from the daily cares and tasks that we seem to let consume us.   This shot was taken early morning at Cannon Beach.  Oliver (the dog) and I had some great walks.  

 We also had Tillmook ice cream almost everyday.  What can I say, it was only 2.88 at the grocery store for a quart.  And - I was on vacation.  One of my favorites turned out to be Jam Packed Sugar Cookie.  The ice cream was a plum jam swirl with chunks of sugar cookie.  SOOO tasty.

Masculine cards are always a challenge to me.  Usually I like to find funny sayings or sarcastic humor to create cards for the guys in my family.  That being said, Stampin UP has great stamps, but I never seem to connect with my style for manly cards. This is my attempt...although my Dad has passed from this life, we sure did enjoy his BBQ.

My goal was to not create a boring card - same old same old.  What can you really do with an apron???  And...have it be original and funs.  The Apron set and coordinating dies are sooo cute and provide a way to do masculine and feminine cards.  Lets see if my creation translates to not boring but fun.

I added black stitiching down the white stip, but didn't like it so I covered it with some Silver cord for embellishment. Silver foil paper was used for the grill tools.
