Boys Only Card team challenge!

This week's card team challenge was brought to us by Rusha!  The challenge was to create a boy themed card (for any occasion) and we could not use flowers.  This was a tough one for me as I love to use flowers on my cards.  This card I made for my student teacher who is all finished his internship this week.  Be sure to pop over to the LCOM blog to see what the rest of the team created!
