Our Guest Designer ~ Brenda

Our guest designer this week is Brenda!  Brenda made this amazing masculine card for our challenge this week.  If you would like to see Brenda's winning card you will find it here.

Brenda, the masculine card you made is so wonderful, I love the layout and the over all design!  The colors and mix of papers are just right.  Thank you so much for being our GD this week!  Be sure to take a moment to stop by Brenda's blog - Rose Blossom Legacies



I am Brenda, and it's an honor to share this card for ABC Challenges!  I love making masculine cards because they bring a challenge in themselves.  We like to create the pretty and fun, but don't always create a whole lot of cards for the men in our lives.  I am a full-time Close to My Heart consultant, so I am blessed to play with paper every single day.  I have been paper crafting for nearly 23 years, and it's truly such an enormous joy!  We live in beautiful Minnesota and take full advantage of enjoying the 10,000+ lakes! 

Thank you so much!  Remember, there's still time to play along with our challenge this week, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!
