Manly Monday Woodgrain Happy Birthday card

I used the wood grain paper by The Paper Studio and orange textured cardstock by Coredinations. I bought the sentiment die cut off of eBay and I hated the color so I grunge it up with distress ink. The brads are by Bo Bunny.

I’ve been trying to use my brads and eyelets lately. I have so many of them and they’re taking up space. Plus I have a bunch of nice ones that I should use. Do you have brads and eyelets? Do you use them?
