You've done a super job of making something for a man. Not an easy thing to do.
What an adorable idea! Yes, sometimes we ladies just need to "man up" to get things done, right? Just not TOO manly to add glitter...
Nice job!
I would have never thought to make a "MAN" card from that Boardwalk paper. But it is a great idea. Love, love it. Even the bling looks manly, like a bill board. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Really nice use of wonderful materials! Thanks for the inspiration.

great project! I love how you combined the two companies products together. JIL
I like your project. Gret use of the papers.
I think Graphic45 is the best for wall hangings as they're more art than just scrap paper. I find it really hard to cut them up due to the fact that they're so pretty and detailed. :)
Great composition! I agree the characters are lovely. Thanks for inspiring!
This is absolutely wonderful!
I simply adore your card creation!
Love the masculine theme.
Love the paper, bling and sentiments. I just told a guy yesterday that he was the Man, so I smiled when I saw your card!

Love your blog. I love your blog hop. Your are recharging my creative side of my brain. Bling goes such a long way. Thank you.
I have learned that cutting beatiful paper is ok, and it makes a lot more pretty papers. Sorry forgot to sign my name to the first post. Love you name. We just got done with our county fair.

Hello Elise, I love your card is simply beautiful, especially because it is more masculine than feminine and me that gives me good ideas, I never find inspiration for gifts for my husband and nephews, thanks for sharing.

I have every line of G45 paper but I always hate to cut them up! It takes me ages to do it but then I love whatever I've made just as much as the pristine sheet of paper so it's OK.
