Cards for boys...

I have two cards for boys to share with you today.  The first one is for a younger boy.  I love dinosaurs, Jurassic Park movies, etc., so I really enjoyed coming up with this card.  It features the No Bones About It photopolymer stamp set.

Colors used: Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Tip Top Taupe and Whisper White.  This is a great use of some of the 18 stamps in this set.  I also used a bit of the Go Wild Designer Series Paper Stack.  Who would love getting this card?  Me!!!

Our second card today is more for a teen and features a Pokemon ball.  No, most adults don't really get it, but trust me, the kids do.

I had shown this to my youngest and it was her favorite (she's 18).  I had her help me think of words to go with the card and she picked out "adventure bound".  The story is about a boy going on a Pokemon adventure, so it fits perfectly.  The inside of the card says "life is good - happy birthday".  I used the 2-1/2", 3/4", 1/2" and Owl Builder Punch to make all the circles.  I used the Simply Scored Tool to make the raised lines on the White card stock.  The words are from the Project Life Remember This stamp set.  That's one of my favorite PL items.
