Yea, Shirley is the featured stamper today. Shirley is one of the Twisted Sisters, and I am a Twisted Sister groupie! I love her fun style, and her love of dogs. Shirley saves dogs from the cruel world - what a noble thing!
I needed to make some masculine Congrats cards for a special project so I let this card of Shirley's inspire me:
I love how Shirley used the Cheery Lynn die cuts to add even more fun to her cupcake card. Since I was making a boy card, I just used a few of the Cheery Lynn die cuts.
I seriously started my card out to look more like Shirley's but then I saw the paper had a special message on it too so I didn't want to cover it up.
Congrats Shirley - hope you have had fun with everyone playing in your gallery today. My God bless you in many other ways as well! Hugz!!!

Nancy, I love this beautifully made card. I would never have thought of putting the flourish on a masculine card and they look so well with the awesome dp. I have always loved your cards and this one is no exception. Thank you for playing today and making my day.

What a fabulous masculine card Nancy! I love that paper-how cool. It looks like an old newspaper. Love your pretty flourish too. I think every card maker is going to own one of those as it is so pretty and so versatile. Beautifully done.
