Get it? Heh... OK! I know, bad joke! I couldn't resist though... :) There is also nothing hokey about this post. You may think it is a joke because there are no challenges, no Guest DT, just something I made for an upcoming birthday- for FUN! Believe it!
So this card is for a guy birthday. In my head I was thinking, what do guys like...tools, cars, fishing, etc... How about a big hoagie! They like sandwiches with lots of layers of stuff with a beer in the other hand and football on TV right?! Well I hope it is true because that is what I went for here. Actually the guy I have in mind for this card is a foodie, so I think he'll like it. I used my new Paper Smooches Set Think Fast. I also played up the summer aspect with the paper that looked like a picnic tablecloth and the brown card stock is embossed with woodgrain to give you the feel of a picnic table. So this card is a big deal, just like the sentiment says! :) Oh and speaking of big deals, there is a July DT blog hop over at Paper Smooches with a give away- check it out!
It's time for the...(wait for it)...Question of the Day. So today's question is- what kinds of things does one (or all) of the dudes like in your life that might be a good card theme or gift for them?
Also, I wanted to show you this fabulous card I received form Virginia Lu! What a sweet, sweet woman she is and such an amazing designer!!!!! Check out this fab card! I love how she used the chalboard technique with this old time image!

A: not sure what the guys in my life like. It's only my brothers, father-in-laws, father, Poppie, and Trav.... So maybe music and technology.... Good question:)
