Today I used another GREAT image from
Di's Digi Downloads. This one is a perfect summertime image and great for cards for guys, even if your guy is not a fisherman. I'm not that happy with the way this turned out. I was trying to get a lighter look on the bear's face and ended up messing that up and actually making it darker in the process of trying to correct my first attempt. Oh well...live and learn. This is going to be Kyle's card for John for Father's Day.

Here's one of those examples of one mans trash... -I think this card is "perfect" but aren't we always harder on ourselves? This is what I always tell my hubby about eating out...yes I can make the same thing at home but it always tastes better when someone else cooks it-lol
