Welcome to the Control Freaks October 2012 Tour (officially starts October 20th). We are thrilled to have you join us today. Our tour is nice and short and features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from freaky friend, Barb Mullikin's Blog
Our theme for this month is: "For the Men in Our Lives". The first thing I thought of was my grandsons, Max and Sam. They are men...right?
So first up is a Dinoroar Coloring Cards & Matching Bookmarks
Max is into both coloring and dinosoars these days. So, I'm thinking his friends are probably into them too. Won't these be fun birthday cards and bookmarks for his friends?

Then of course, I'll need a card for my husband, Gene. Need for Speed fits the bill!
Gene actually helped design this card. It started out being just gray and black, but it was missing something. He said, "the car has to be red". So red it is! I added the red strip of cardstock and the card came together much better. The inside completes the card.
