The Male Room Challenge - Retirement

Hi there!  It's time for another challenge at The Male Room.  For the next two weeks we want to see "Retirement" projects for men.  


The first thing that comes to mind when I think about men and retirement...golf.  I got this cute little stamp set at Unity - Fore!!!.  I actually won it in a grab bag (they give their winners a grab bag of rubber stamps...fantastic) and this is the first time being used.  My dad and brother play golf, so I can see this card going to one of them in the future.


I really try not to overdo men cards.  Just keep it simple if possible.  I did a little bit of coloring, but the golf cart had to stay white.  Couldn't bring myself to color it a different color, but I did color a racing stripe.
I put some twine on the side of the card and a couple of brads on the "par-tee" sentiment.  Everyone wants to party when they retired.  (Better retire young then :o))

Here's the inside.  Yes, I have a little OCD.
Hope to see you at The Male Room !!

thanks for looking and reading :o)

This really made me giggle! I'm not good with puns, but this is great! I know my uncle started golf when he retired, but he soon gave up the green for the bar!!
