put up the better pictures when I am able to get a new card reader...

I liked this one a lot like the Mojo one from last week...

I love layers!! I love to layer and mix and match patterns... I made

this one masculine, I don't have a lot of paper good for masculine cards

but I need to get some more because I am starting to send 

my cards out to people at church that have lost loved

ones, having surgery, or just need a pick me up and there are just 

as many men that need cards as women so I'm trying to build my stash.

to get my card uploaded for last Monday's challenge,

but here it is anyways!

name at the moment put it's called Little Sport and I really

liked the patterns and colors and thought they 

were good guy colors.
