Magnificent Masculine Merriment

Some People (like Lauren!) struggle with masculine card designs, but the past fortnight proves that quite a few crafters totally have this whole genre covered, and they've linked holiday "guy cards" which prove this point quite conclusively. So if you haven't checked out the Readers' Gallery yet, we highly recommend a little scroll through all of the fine inspiration. In the meantime, here are three cards that especially caught our eye:

Jolanda Johnstone of The Inque Spot Studio

...combined the perfect patterned paper with lots of texture and a truly outstanding sketch layout to make a masculine card that rocks on SO MANY levels!

Leslie M of L Rose Creates

...assembled a penguin Dream Team who are very definitely ready to help you celebrate RIGHT NOW! The Penguin Leader is paper-pieced, then popped up on a wobbler for even greater joy!

Lorraine A of Lorraine's Loft

...chose the handsomest of House Mice, colored him beautifully, and then added matted panels of several different patterned papers which coordinate perfectly AND help tell the story that sweet stamp started.

And now it's time to find out whose home that sweet Doodlebug "Winter Wonderland" stamp set will be heading off to. The Random Number Generator has selected... Lucky Number 6! Which means that Michele F of I Card Everyone is our Lucky Winner! Congrats, Michele, please send your snamil m,il info to llaurenb (at) hotmail (dot) com and we'll get those sweet Yetis on their way ASAP!

Many thanks to all who participated. We'll be back at Midnight with a brand new prompt and we hope you'll STICK with us for that! ;)
