CR84FN49 - Week 2 - Be Happy!

It's week 2 at CR84FN49 with yellow, kraft, and gray.  Thank Goodness for color challenges because otherwise I might never have put these colors together!  And I LOVE this combo!
Check out what our GD, Shannon White, and the other DT members (listed in my sidebar) have created for YOUR inspiration!
Here's My card:
I had just totally cleaned my craft room (we are trying to sell our house) and my sewing machine was in the closet.  I decided to sneak this card in so I distressed my edges instead!  I LOVE this new mini paper pad from MME Follow Your Heart.  I used this FAB paper with the honeycomb design and the word "be" in text.  I added the label with "Happy" and I am going to send it to a friend who needs some cheering up.
It's going to a guy and I have to mail it, so I thought CAS with distressing and twine and these colors was perfect for a "manly" card!  Hope you like it!  Let me know!
