Inspired by my flight, I was determined to make a card with planes, and thought of the Free Spirit - Boy from Walzingmouse Stamps. Isn't that paper plane just pure hotness? As a avid paper plane engineer, I could not wait to return from my trip to make this card. Coincidentally, I also returned just in time to play along Waltzingmouse Stamps' first sketch challenge. So, without further ado...
Stamps: Free Spirit - Boy (Waltzingmouse Stamps), Free Spirit - Sentiments (Waltzingmouse Stamps), Vintage Circles, Small (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
Paper: Preppie Pack - Oxford (Bazzill Basics Paper), Cardstock - Cream (Recollections), The Boyfriend - Study Hall (Cosmo Cricket)
Ink: Earth Elements - Ruby Red (SU!), Brilliance - Graphite Black (Tsukineko)
Embellishments: Nestabilities - Circle, Small (Spellbinders)
I have grown quite fond of the Free Spirit set. It makes the daunting task of making boy cards fun! My formula for a boy card is:
Boy Card = good boy stamp set + bold colors + boy-specific pattern paper
Now, it's your turn. What are you favorite boy stamp sets? What fool-proof formulas do you use?
Psst - if you haven't entered the WMS Sketch Challenge, run to your scrap desk and create something. One can never have enough Waltzingmouse Stamps ;)

A cracking guy card!! LOL, you found the perfect paper too!! Thank you so much for playing along with us at WMS!

Great card! Guy cards are much easier with Claire's sets aren't they? And you were in SFO and didn't look me up?!? JK!
I think we need a SF meetup! I'm still hoping for one in Ireland to meet Claire! Sorry, I digress... I love this card! What a clever use of the WMS set and the CC paper! Great work!!
A wonderful card! Gee, you're inspiring me to get on the four grad cards I need to make!
Thanks for playing with us in the Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge!
Claire Brennan - Thanks for stopping by. The Free Spirit set is my current obsession ;)
Julia Aston - I concur! I'm surprised by how much I have with guy cards now.
Laurie Marmon - heh, next time i'll stop by i'll come bum on your couch. Maybe we can meet up with Jen C. and have a fun WMS stamping day
Jen Cuthbertson - well if you're ever in the NJ/NY/PA area, let me know. I'd love to meet up with another fellow, stampy mouse.

Wow I missed your card when I was hopping through the WMS challenge entries - but I'm certainly glad I found it now. Its a GREAT man card! I love that paper plane stamp too but sadly this set is still on my wish list!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment on my blog too. I love getting comments and I was so excited to be one of the top 3 ;o)
Belinda - well, it's your fault that I got introduced to Cosmo Cricket ;)
Ann - oh no worries. I didn't have a chance to go through all the wonderful blogs either, but all the entries were amazing! Aren't Claire's stamps just all too precious?! Can't wait what she comes up next.
That paper was MADE for this stamp set! Wonderful job, love the colors and the 10!
