Happy Birthday Dude!!

Challenge #383 at Shopping Our Stash was chosen by teamie Donna, I'm sure she wanted us to change our mindset from Holiday cards!! Happy Birthday Dude is the theme and since I have been in "snow" mode for the last few challenges it almost stumped me, masculine cards are so hard to make and this is the quickest card I've made in a while. So we want to see a Birthday card for a Dude....a big guy or a little one.


Sketch Saturday had a really great sketch this week so I wanted to use it as it was perfect for this double sided designer paper from Stampin'up that I think I've had for almost a year as well as the matching cardstock, (just opened the pack to make the card. The vertical Happy Birthday is a couple of years old and I think I've used it once. The glasses brad is the first from a pack of brads from eyelet outlet also over a year old. 


Very happy the one sheet of DSP had both design on it (bonus) 


Finished the inside with  a scrap of paper and a sentiment from a bin at Michaels Craft Store.

I am entering this in:
Saturday Sketch ~~ week #542  I flipped the sketch to vertical
I took a few liberties with it.


Thanks for stopping by  and check out all the Dude cards at the Main Blog.

Isn't it great to use some of our "older" product.
