Little Boy Blue ..

Evening Folks!

I'm running very late today, have been in the garden since this morning trying to tame the jungle and completely forgot about my post for Here Come the Boys.. oops very red face!!

This time we'd like to see your 

LITTLE BOY BLUE CARDS

i.e. cards for little boys with a monochromatic blue theme - you can use skin and hair tones but the papers and the remainder of the card must stick to the blue theme. 

Here's my card using a sadly neglected LOTV image, coloured with promarkers. The papers are a recent bargain purchase from the local garden centre (!) and I think they are papermania . The sentiment and card candi are from Craftwork Cards.

Here's a closer look 

I hope you can join us at Here Come the Boys this fortnight, please check out the rest of the design team inspiration on the main blog and we also have this fab prize of a bag of charms on offer:

Hello Peeps! Finally managed to grab a bit of crafting time this morning and managed to get my entry for the BIG competition over at The Crafty Pad finished!!

I've used Shelley the Sheep on my card - isn't she cute!! Coloured with promarkers, papers are Papermania Capsule collection and DCVW; ribbon, flowers and buttons are also from the capsule collection. I thought the yellow was quite jolly on such a dull day!

I'd also like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge : #86 great sketch

Simon says : Recipe: 1 image , 2 papers (gingham and stitched effect) and 3 embellishments

(ribbon, buttons and flowers)

See you soon!!

Relax.....

Morning All, Hope you are having a nice relaxing Sunday!!

I'm flying by the seat of my pants again to get my card into a few challenges before they close! I finished this last night but had to wait until this morning to get some piccys. This is my first attempt at a Joy Fold card. I'd never heard of them until I read the challenge on Squigglefly this week. The tutorial here on Split coast stampers is great, tricky bit is trying to get decent pics!! The digi stamp is called 'Forgiven' by Crissy Armstrong at Squigglefly. I like the way the card has come out & I am also impressed that I managed to find the right pawprint button in my disaster zone of a crafting area ...lol. Papers are Basic Grey Archaic.

I think I might send this one to my Dad for Father's day, he doesn't 'do' football, golf, gardening etc so I think this might fit the bill. I'd like to enter him in the following challenges:

Squigglefly : Joy fold card

Sundays with Crissy: Layers

Stamp something: Use a digi

Totally Papercrafts: More than 1 fold
Simon Says Stamp: Father's Day / male card

The Creative cottage Challenge: Father's day

I love digi challenge: For my Dad

Crafts and me: Distressed ( I Sponged the cream card backgound nestie

behind the image and also the edges of the papers)

Thanks for looking - think I had better go and tidy up a bit!!
