WWC107 - Penny's Masculine "Anything Goes" Challenge

Woo Hoo! It's time to make something for those men in our lives. Penny Hanuszak is hosting this week's challenge and it's "anything goes" as long as it's masculine. How fun is that?

So basically you just have to think masculine. Otherwise anything goes. It can be as simple or as fancy as you please. It can be for a birthday, anniversary, congratulations, or anything at all. Your choice. You can see from the diversity of the cards created by our Watercooler Artists that there is a huge range of options open to you. As usual, if you click on the name under each card, you can visit the blog post to see details on how the card was created. We begin with Penny's awesome card which could easily be used for a birthday or other celebration.

And now it's your turn. You can join us by linking up your creation with the InLinkz at the bottom of this challenge.
