Papertrey Anniversary Challenges...

I know many of you have joined in on Papertrey's Anniversary Challenges, and I'm SO happy that I had a little time to finally play along.

Thank you Papertrey for having all the deadlines extended this year!  This card is for Day 7's Challenge to make a card using only neutrals and metallics.  I went super simple on this one.   About a month ago my dad asked me to make some thank you cards for him.  One of his goals this year is to send more thank you cards.  (He's a pretty awesome guy...the best really.  So loving and Christlike.)  To quote his instructions on the cards, he said, "Just keep them simple and masculine.  You know, maybe put a little chest hair or something on them." Ha!  My dad has a great sense of humor.   He's always makes me laugh.  Anyway, no chest hair on this card, but my husband said it was masculine (yes, I asked), and it actually reminded him of one of his ties, so I figure it'll work for my dad, too.  (Note to self: Take a closer look at the ties in the closet, so I can get other ideas for masculine patterns.) I may have cheated a tad on this card, or maybe I was resourceful.  I'll go with resourceful.  See the plaid?  Well, it's a piece of patterned paper.  I just added the gold stripes with a stamp from PTI's BB: Retro set. And the gold really is a beautiful color, though it looks more yellow in the photos.  Ok, I better go...so much for making this a short post. :) Hope you've all had a wonderful week!
