A Guy Card April 2017

One of my online scrap friends introduced me to Cards 4 Guyz which really made me think about how I make cards for my family and friends and why. I generally personalise my cards as much as possible for the person I'm giving it to. Sometimes its a stranger, but in most cases its someone I know, so I include things I know they like.

I've been creating my cards using digi scrapbooking techniques for about 3 years now. So I thought I would have a go at the Cards 4 Guyz #167 challenge ' the great outdoors' and see how hard it is to create a guy-card on the spot. Well, that was challenging and fun all at the same time! I decided to make my audience 'younglings' or 'young adults' and included wild animals (from the great outdoors!), spiders and leaves and made sure there were no straight up girly items like pretty flowers. I made up the text which seems to follow the modern taste of late; a mix of insulting, truthful and/or humorous!
