Now on to MY card (or should I say cards) for this week! This first card is for my Bug Guy, Barry! Yes, I have the most FANTASTIC Bug Guy and when I found out it was his birthday on the very day he was coming to my house, I just HAD to make him a card. You see, Barry understands hobbies. His wife knits and cross stitches, and does all kinds of AMAZING things so he gets my card hobby. Plus he has three cats, I have two, so we talk about our cats as well! Plus I have no bugs, so it's a great thing all the way around! Happy Birthday Barry!
This next card is one I made for my Dad for Valentine's Day. I used the same colors cause I think they are so PERFECT for a masculine card. Everything on this card is BIG - the flower and the XOXO, cause my Dad always says, "Go Big or Go Home!" And Yes, there is a flower on it because my Dad is quite the gardener! I also added the MS heart edge cause I XOXO my Dad!
So those are my cards for this week here at CR84FN! I hope you like them!

Both so different, both brilliant!! I love the clean lines and bold numbers for Barry's card. Super backing paper too. And your Dad's card is super - great paper and lovely flower.
PS - Why do you need a "Bug Man"?
I love both cards. Beautiful design with the pocket card and the big letters! Your dad's card with the big hugs and kisses just popped. Love the papers and the designs!

Too funny Sue. Barry must not only be a good bug guy but a good friend. Love the card.
Sue, both of your cards are so beautiful! You rocked the colors and I bet your Bug guy loved his birthday card :)!!! Toooo sweet of you to surprise him!!! Hgus ~S~
Thanks for dropping by with comments as well. I love both of your cards and really something different ideas.
just LOVE the bug guy card!!
I love these cards! I'll bet these were well received. Great job especially on the bug guy card!
Both of these cards are FANTASTIC, Sue! I love all of the special little touches you added to the first card to totally customize it for the "bug guy." And the flower and layers in the second card are so fabulous!!!!
What a great Valentine for a gardener..your Dad must have loved it. Oh, I bet you're the only customer that gives the 'bug guy' a homemade card. They're both gorgeous.
wow!!! both of these are just utterly gorgeous!! Hugs Juls
This card is gorgeous! LOVE the colors.
BTW my hubby said someone called this afternoon but he couldn't remember who it was. When I listed the names he said it might have been "Sue". MEN!
Hi Sue... Fab cards... I bet your dad and bug guy loved them.. I never heard of a bug guy before.. It must be to cold at my house to need to have one.!! You did a fantastic job using the colors... Have a great weekend :)..Hugs Monique
Your card is beautiful. I love the large numbers and the scallop trim at the bottom. Rhinestone bling are great for just a little something in a place that just seems empty.
