YCU Masculine Blog Hop

Hi there!
Oh, I am just so excited about the second Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop! If you have started from the beginning, you should be coming from Donna Bowman’s blog. Her birthday card was so fun- such a great one for any guy! 
 
  
For my card, I decided to go with really neutral colors, and I also added some distressing. I did my very best to resist ribbon, but somehow I still had to add rhinestones. I figured, with them being black, they didn’t count as bling. ;)
I know there are lots of other stops on this blog hop, so I’ll keep this short. The next stop: Janice Daquila-Pardo’s blog. Remember, if you get lost along the way, or want to start from the beginning, you can always head over to the Young Crafters Unite site. 
There are some pretty awesome prizes up for grabs too! Two people will win a Simon Says Stamp $25 gift certificate, and Paper Smooches has donated their brand new My Guy stamp set for one lucky winner. Fun stuff, right?  
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving some love. Until next time…..

  8. Love your color choices! Great manly card. The camera really looks great left uncolored… I bet that was tough for you to leave alone!

  15. lol!! i love that you couldn’t resist the call of ‘bling’!! but i agree – you can’t tell bc it’s black – so it’s all good! i love your card!

  17. Wow, I love your color and paper choices and how you distressed the paper too. And they totally don’t count as bling!

  18. Black rhinestones definitely don’t count as bling! ;)

  20. Great card! I can think of a lot of guy friends who would love getting a card like this in the mail out of the blue!

  26. I love the neutral colors! I’m always afraid to keep something white but it looks just perfect! I must try to keep something white soon!

  30. black bling TOTALLY doesn’t count ;) I’m the same way!
    I love that you chose to do a ‘thinking of you’ card – guys need those cards too, but I never ever think to make them!

  32. I love your card. The brown and black combo is perfect. (And I agree the black bling works well with the theme!)

  33. I love the kraft, black, and white combo. Thanks for the inspiration to make a “thinking of you” card for our guy friends. I should do this more often.

  34. Black and kraft are fantastic for a guy, Paulina! The harlequin background is very cool, and I love the old Polaroid camera. Super card!

  40. Paulina, this card is simply perfect!! Always good to have an idea for a manly card…I struggle so much with it. And no, that bling does not count ;)
