Boys will be Boys


Here's a boy themed boxed card set that I was working on last week.  I made them for a girlfriend of mine who has kids around the same age as mine.  Her birthday is coming up so I wanted to make just a little something and thought kids birthday cards would be a great thing to have around the house.  With two kids in school the birthday parties sometimes become daunting so it's nice to have a set of cards on hand and one less thing to worry about.  I'm in the midst of making a girls set for her as well.  I'll show all of you that set on the weekend.





Anyhow for the majority of these cards I didn't use SU! It's paper I've been meaning to cut into for a while now and finally found some inspiration.  If you have this adorable dp collections, Bayou Blue, Baja Breeze, Ridinghood Red, More Mustard and Old Olive, are all SU! colours that go really well with it.

I hope your week is going wonderfully!  Right now I am enjoying my Terrific Tuesday with my 2 year old to keep me company.
