Masculine Cards - A Lesson Learned

Hi!  Just popping in for a quick post as a surprise for my downline Leanne.  Leanne makes a very good masculine card and I don't basically!   Why should you all miss out on these cards when I have Leanne to show you how it is done.

Leanne has just promoted to Supervisor - woohoo! Well done Leanne, so here it is your very own post showing off your manly creations!  Leanne doesn't have a blog so any questions ask me & I'll send it along to her.

Harvest Blessings By Leanne Newcombe

With a father & lots of relatives from the country,  Leanne honed in on that tractor stamp like a seagull to a chip the minute our catty was released.  I looked at her puzzled like - "what are you going to do with that?"  Boy was I impressed when I started to see some of the personalised creations she came up with.  Not only did she choose a stamp that meant something to her, it meant more to the recipient & that is what counts.   Now, I must admit I am guilty of overlooking the masculine stamps for all the pretty ones using flowers & butterflies, but since seeing a few of Leanne's cards I am going to make an effort to take my time & really try to see the worth of some of the stamps that are not "pretty".  After all, they just might represent something to the person receiving your handmade card that makes your effort all the more worthwhile.
