    One of the most common requests we hear over and over again is for more masculine-themed card ideas.

    I am like the rest of you; I have a couple of envelopes of scraps from past projects that have gathered on my desk.

    Many people find it difficult to create masculine cards.  The best way to begin is to get into the right mindset — be open to the possibilities and try not to limit your thinking to what items you can actually use on a masculine card.  For some reason many of us come up with a…

    Since moving to the Outback Australia the view of lush green grass and colourful flowers growing in the neighborhood gardens are non-existent.
