abandon: noun

 a thorough yielding to natural impulses; especially : enthusiasm, exuberance
( not to be confused with the verb abandon...huh? No wonder they say that English is a very confusing language. It confuses me! )

This is my introduction post over at Frosted Designs, would love for you to go over there and leave the "Monday ladies" a warm welcome....and me too while you're there! ♥
 I also hope you play along with us!
 

It's time for one of the hottest trends out there over at Frosted Designs - CHEVRONS

( But not one of my favorite trends, I don't really like busy patterns, so after I lifted my head off the desk from moaning and groaning that my first post just had to be something I don't do well... and searched for a chevron paper...I discovered I had a couple of different ones... which surprised the heck out of me! )
 

Nevertheless, in for a penny, in for a pound...I made 4 banners, alternating with the chevrons and red and layered them on each other. Cut a blue strip and made a topper with the sentiment with 2 gemstone brads. Decided to put the banners over hounds tooth paper ( I mean as long as I am using one busy paper, I might as well use another busy pattern, lol ) as this will go into the masculine birthday section over at the Art MoB. The finishing touch is a thin red strip on the top and bottom of the card.

While I might not love chevrons, I do love having a sense of humor  :)
and hope who ever receives this also has one!!
