Let's hear it for the boys!

Guess what? It's Thursday again!! I'm tellin' ya, I love, love, LOVE Thursdays...because it means a new challenge over at Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge Blog!! Whooohooo...so...let's get down to havin' some serious craftin' fun, ok? I'm thrilled to be your hostess once again this week (geez, it's a good thing my "hostess duties" don't include serving hors d'ouvres...otherwise you'd be getting crackers and some of that squirty cheese from a can!) But, I digress...

If you've spent any time browsing my bloggity blog, you've probably noticed that I love making frilly girl cards. It's true...I confess! Well, this week I decided we should give the guys some "air time" too...so our theme is...ta daaaaaa....
"Let's hear it for the boys!"

So, without further ado...here's my little card! I used this Mo Manning cutie patootie named "Harvard". Now don't tell my hubby that I said this, but little Harvard kinda reminds me of him...with those khakis & vest & coke-bottle specs. LOL!! And I think he's just adorable! Notice that I did give him a green vest...in honor of St. Paddy's Day!!

Here's a closer look at little Harvard...

He's really a handsome little fella, isn't he? And I bet he has to wear glasses because he always has his cute little nose in a book! In fact, I bet he goes to Barnes & Noble every single chance he gets...for a Venti Breve Latte and a toasted bagel with 2 pats of butter!! And the chance to read books for freeeeee! hehehe!!

I used Copic Sketch Markers & some fun DPs from October Afternoon called "Schoolhouse"...the sentiment is from StampingBella...the charm is from my stash...and if you look closely, you'll see that Harvard's glasses have Glossy Accents...to give them "coke bottle" lenses!

And finally, a peek at the inside...

You know what comes next, right? You pop on over to Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog and feast your eyes on some of the cutest boy cards ever...courtesy of my sweet and uber talented Design Teamies. You'll see big boys and little boys and in-between boys! All adorable...and all such fun!!

And now it's your turn...please remember that you MUST use at least one Mo Manning image...and there are about a kabillion to choose from at Mo's online store HERE...and come up with your own "For the Boys" masterpiece!!

Thanks so much sweet friends for stopping by...and for always leaving such kind and encouraging comments. They really mean so much to me!! Until next time....
