Three minute cards for a teenage boy

'Cards for a teenage boy' are words calculated to strike terror into many a card maker but I refuse to be daunted! Actually I didn't stamp a birthday card for my fourteen year old son this year as I wanted to draw something that he'd fall in love with immediately... you can see it at the end of this post! But at the end of his birthday he needed cards to thank everyone for all the lovely things they'd sent him, and this is the design I came up with:

These are very similar to last Thursday's three minute cards but much more manly! The cards are post card style, a sheet of A4 cut into four, with a double line scored across it and designer paper added to fit the space.

I absolutely adore these papers and had forgotten all about them! They're from the Well Worn range and are quite male-oriented. This one has a brick feel...

... while this one reminds me of a lovely tweedy dressing gown! I sponged round the edges of the designer paper to give a neat edge before stamping the sentiment from Thank You Kindly.

There's an underwater feel about this one...

... while this seems to be all about chicken wire and marble! Yes, I'm confused too but I know that someone somewhere is thinking 'YES! That's my man to a tee!'

My daughter told me the other day that she'd noticed how manly her brother was getting. "I know," I said, immediately off to Mumland. "Isn't he gorgeous?!" She looked slightly revolted. "Yes but you're his mum!" she pointed out. "Oh I expect other people think so too," I said. "Well," said my daughter, having the last word. "They obviously haven't seen him eating cereal!" Hmm, she does have a point but at the moment girls are not the focus of my son's attention - this is:

And I'm proud to say that this card is now being displayed on my son's notice board in his room!

I shall be back tomorrow with something very summery! Hope to see you then,
