Birthday Wishes - Masculine


Hi Everyone!
Wow, Is time going by at lighting speed or what? I can't believe an entire month has almost gone by. Well one good thing about that is it's bringing us closer to spring :) 
I wanted to share a masculine card I made for all those GREAT challenges going on right now. Pretty simple except do you see the gold accents on the wheel? Well I probably should have used brads, but no... I took gold metallic paper and hole punched eight holes and covered them with glossy accents. Sounds easy right?? Well I kept forgetting about them and setting paper, or items down on top of these little hole punches. I think I ended up having to make 19 of them.  I had these sticky, gluey, glossy hole punches everywhere. I even left for basketball pictures this morning and when I got back in the car one was on my car seat? (Wonder where that hole punch was)? The funny stories of crafting that only other crafters would appreciate! Have a GREAT day!
