Morning readers,

I know I SOMETIMES post on a Saturday but hardly ever on a Sunday, however, I am delighted to be a Guest Design Team Member over at Critter Crazy this month so .. that's why I'm posting at an odd time on an unusual day. The theme for the current challenge is ANYTHING GOES but must feature an animal/s.

I've a make to share with you today ... a bit of a guy vibe going on with this card .. IMHO

Definitely a masculine card, even though it’s pinkish! Perfect facial expression! Thank you for your entry in the Krafty Chicks All Occasions Challenge.

I think that bowtie makes this the best masculine birthday card. I love the paw prints too! So glad that you joined us at Seize the Birthday Challenge. Happy Holidays to you.

A wonderful card, I love the expression on the dog and his bow tie. Love the background and the red border. Thanks for being our wonderful GDT this month. Faith DT
