No. 18 - tmd

Joanna's Thoughts: All her cards are perfect but my choice is #3. Super male inspiration for students. Great coloring and fabulous background.


Karen's Pick:

No. 59 - Jodie H.

Karen's Thoughts: I love your card. The simple layout brings your focus to the adorable image. The coloring is great. I always have difficulty with masculine cards but you have a winner. Great job!


Kerri's Pick:

No. 40 - Forgotten Scraps

Kerri's Thoughts: I found it so hard to pick a favourite for this challenge as there were so many amazing entries. I have chosen #40 forgotten scraps - I love everything about this card! The layout is great, the choices of paper used are soft but manly and don't overpower the digi used. The colouring on the digi is also superb! A very beautifully put together card. Well done!!


Rebecca's Pick:

No. 2 - Margaret A.

Rebecca's Thoughts: Love the Music theme for the card and the total layout for her card. Although she is using the pre-colored image, but her card just fabulous for our theme this month.


Sandy's Pick:

No. 21 - CarolG

Sandy's Thoughts: Love the fact that you’ve used a partial image. It looks great and shows that you don’t need to have the whole image to make your card pop! Love the use of the star diecuts and the staples on your sentiment. A wonderful “male” card!


Traceymo's Pick:

No. 14 - Janice

Traceymo's Thoughts: A very cool tie card! Great CAS card.


Susan's Pick:

No. 66 - Lovely Linda

Susan's Thoughts: I had such a hard time picking from all of these fantastic creations. I finally decided on Linda's fantastic creation. I love the texture and the coloring. I love that image and how you detailed it. This is so perfect, funny and I just LOVE it!!
