Papertrey Ink Blog Hop – Boys to Men

It’s time for this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!
The Theme:
Boys to Men
As much as I’d like to make a card that pays homage to the Boys II Men R&B group – that is probably not what PTI is looking for here!
Instead, I made a masculine baby card!!!
And, just in case you are wondering — YES! THAT BORDER IS SEWN!
And, just in case you are wondering — YES! I DID THAT!
So here it is – in all it’s masculine, sewn border, baby birthday glory!
I cut out a little tie for the perfect accent to the onesie!
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
Happy Blog Hopping!
Supplies (All PTI unless otherwise mentioned)
Stamps: Background Basics: Woodgrain, Bitty Baby Blessings
Paper: Kraft, Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate, Enchanted Evening
Ink: Ranger Archival Jet Black
Other: dafont.com (American Typewriter)

Keep on crafting with these other posts
