Crunch, Crunch

This is for my husband, whose picture is at the bottom of this blog. He's a dear man, who puts up with me and all my shenanigans. I wanted to have "bite" marks on the card -- to create the impression that the alligator is up to no good! -- and after much pondering, finally thought of using a scalloped punch. I'm not sure it works without the explanation, but I think it's kind of cute. By the way, this picture makes it look like the bottom corners of the card are cut out. They are not -- it is the card holder that is in the way, and frankly, I'm too tired/lazy to re-shoot the picture. Materials Used: Old Olive and Night of Navy cardstock (SU); Brilliant Blue Classic Ink; Wild About You and Definition background, both by SU. The saying is from a TAC set. Hodgepodge Hardware and Navy ribbon complete the ensemble!
