MIUM-STV15MON34!

Hi Everyone!!!

I'm so Happy to Host this weeks MIUM.

This weeks Challenge is to do a Masculine Card! :)

Just think of all the Men - Husbands, Brothers, Uncles, Dads, Cousins, Nephews, & Friends…

They all have birthdays, and other events that they need a card for! You know they like to get a little note that reminds them how much you love them or to let them know that you are thinking of them! Guys really do Love Getting Cards! :) I love to slip a little note card in my Hubbies Lunch, or even drop one in his front seat of his car before he leaves for work!!! :) <3

Ok, Lets Fill the Gallery with Wonderful Cards for those Wonderful Men!!!! <3

I made two cards!

The first one is a little note card! (3 1/2 x 3 1/2 )
