# 20 Favourite Song

Happy Sunday
Wow do we have snow here in Essex!!! Yipppeeeee........ about 17cms.

Another new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS starts today. The theme is Favourite Song, so I have chosen Born To Be Wild by Stephon Wolf


This gorgeous image is a digi from Mo Manning called Biker Babe and I thought it was so fitting to my choise of song. I kept the sketch simple and used my promarkers to colour him in.
Hop on over to the blog and see what great cards the rest of the team have created. In the meantime I hope you like mine. xxx

#18 Dinosaurs

Hiya,
Today we have a new challenge over at the HERE COME THE BOYS blog. This week it's Dinosaurs. I used a very cute imge from Teddy Bo.


I used Basic Grey designer papers and Promarker pens (pastel blue and denim).The flags were stamped with an old set from the Hero Arts alphabets. I used distress inks to add some depth around the image and on the flags. I would like to enter these challenges

Cards for men #2 - Boys and their Toys
Basic Grey #61 - Favourite Things




 I hope you like my card. Also I used a distressing tool on the edge of the DP for effect too. Hop over to the blog and see what fun ideas the rest of the DT have come up with...then please join the fun and enter yourself.

#18 Sketch

Hi,
and a happy Sunday to you all. I hope you all had a good christmas and are ready to start crafting again. Today we have a fresh new challenge for you over at    HERE COME THE BOYS
for this challenge we have a brilliant sketch

and here is what I have created using a great little Mo Manning image which reminds me of my 4 year old nephew.


I coloured the images with Promarkers and used Basic Grey papers from a pad called Oliver, brought from the lovely Lynne from her website CRAFTS 4 YOU. The sentiment is an old rubber stamp that I had tucked in a draw. Hop on over to HERE COME THE BOYS and see all the fab cards the rest of the design team girlies have created, then please have a go your self and enter to win some fab prizes. xxx

Rock and Roll

Hello,
Sorry I haven't posted for a bit... Iv'e been busy working, shopping and trying but not gettting any xmas pressies and trying to start making my xmas cards! I love this time of year but it is soooo crazy isn't it?

Anyway today we have a new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. It's challenge #17 and the title is   ROCK AND ROLL.


The image is a very old stamp that I had to blow away the cobwebs in order to use...ha..ha..ha. It's from and old company called Diamond Stamps and dated 1997, unfortunately not going anymore. It brings back memories and reminds me just how long Iv'e been stamping for (15yrs +) OMG!!! I wonder what's your oldest stamp?
I coloured this image with Promarkers and added a little vintage photo to the edges. Then mounted it up and seated it on a folded circle to create that "Rock and Roll" feeling! 
I kept it quite simple as that's all it needed!
I hope you like

Man in your Life

Hiya,
Well today we have another new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. Thanks to everyone who played last time, we had some brilliant entries again. So on to todays and we have a theme of The Man in Your Life. Here is my DT card.

This was such a fun card to make as my niece and her boyfriend have just brought their first home together...... and he is sooo excited about doing it up and moving in.... so I thought I would make a fun birthday card to make him smile!
I found this great digi image on Mo Mannings blog and had to have it. I used my Promarkers to colour it and made the ladder out of some scraps of card. I just made the sentiment up as I didn't have the right words. I can't believe I made this card in time too as I am normally running late. I just hope my nieces boyfriend likes it now!
Why not hop over to the blog and join in the fun with us DT girls.
I hope you like.
