Some time ago Wendy got us making cards for men at our monthly club using images cut from magazines.
Yesterday I made a few Christmas cards plus this card using snippets of card and paper and an image cut from a magazine.
The border is a scrap of silver miri card embossed in my Cuttlebug, rubbed with a sanding block then rubbed over with a black stazon ink pad.
I'm taking it over to join in with the playmates at Pixies Snippets Playground - Week 246

What a great idea of using images from magazines for mens cards (I shall have to remember this one). They certainly make super cards.

Hope you had a nice time away - and well done on making "some" Christmas cards. I feel chuffed if I manage to sneak one in!!!
