Our new challenge for you over at Here Come the Boys is a nice easy one:

USE A DIGI STAMP 

but please remember your creation must be suitable for a male!!

I've used a digi which has been hiding in my collection for a long time, it's called Turtles Birthday from Bugaboo. There's something about this turtle or tortoise that just makes me smile! The stripey paper is from my scraps box, perhaps by crate paper & the sentiment is LOTV .

Morning Folks!

This time the challenge is to

ADD A CHARM

Here's my card which is a good luck card for someone special who is starting a new job today!

The stamp is another ebay purchase - not exactly a bargain but so worth it- it's called O Lucky Day

Here's a closer look at that cute little mousey face!! 

Another stamp where I was really glad of the fine nibs for the trusty promarkers!!

Hi Folks!

I'm running a bit late today !

Here's my card for the new challenge over at Here Come the Boys which is

LET'S GO DOTTY

We're looking forward to seeing your spotty creations!!

I've used quite an old Pollycraft digi on this card, he's called Spike and he's one of my favourites for masculine cards! I'm really pleased to see Pollycraft  re-opening, I love lots of Paula's designs, but it's probably not going to be good for my bank balance!! The photo anchors by Queen & Co are also nearly antique, from deep in my stash!! Not sure what's happened to the colour on the piccy, in real life the brads are chocolate brown. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned chocolate and cake - I'm getting peckish!!

Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

I'd also like to enter the following challenges:

Clear it out - Masculine and metal (brads, photo anchors)

Little Miss Muffet - Anything goes with Pollycraft image

A gem of a challenge - Father's day / male cards

A little bit crafty - Something sweet

Joanna Sheen - Father's day or masculine card

Exciting news!!

Afternoon Folks!!

I've had to keep this secret for a few days but I can know reveal that .....

drum roll please ...

I have been offered a DT position over at Ready Teddy Go!!

Just perfect for a Teddy fanatic like me!!

I've got a big smile on my face and am looking forward to working with all the team on some great Teddy Inspired projects!!

I'm off for a celebratory cup of tea!!

Just Snoozin'

Morning Folks!

Wish I was just able to snooze away in a hammock but sadly half term is over so it's back to work for me today! Still, it's not all bad, there's a new challenge starting over at House Mouse and friends and the theme is one of my favourites:

FOR A MALE

Here's my card for this fortnight ( I can't believe how quickly my guest DT time is going - sniff!), I've used a lovely Gruffies stamp called Hammock hibernation and teamed him up with papers from First Edition New leaf and Blank Canvas pads plus some Graphic 45 French Country papers which reminded me of the hammock pattern. You can also see another bit of the new trellis Memory Box die at the sides - my new favourite toy!! The relax sentiment is from a crafter's companion stamp set. 

 Thank goodness for fine tips on promarkers when colouring the hammock!!

I also decorated the inside :

Aloysius

Morning Folks!

Goodness me, where did the last fortnight go?? It hardly seems five minutes since I was posting for the last challenge at Here Come the Boys and now it's time for a new one!!

This fortnight is another nice and easy challenge:

USE RIBBONS

but please remember it must be a project for a male!!

I'd like you to meet my new favourite bear for this card - his name is Aloysius from Indigo Blu and I just love that face!! I kept this very simple because I wanted the emphasis to be on the image and used ribbon to add a few finishing touches. The sentiment is by Stampin Up and the backing paper is from Summer Driggs' Boy Oh Boy collection.
