#26 Hobbies

We want to see all your fab creations to do with Hobbies for men/boys. Here is my little card for the DT.

The background paper is a Basic Grey and the Life Bouy is one I made myself by cutting circles then using Promarkers Cool Grey 1,3 and 4 to shade also a bit of Antique Linen. The Fisherman was stamped with an old stamp from Diamond Stamps (discontinued), and coloured with Pro's. So now it's your turn to go create something for a boy/ man and enter it at HERE COME THE BOYS.

#25 Tiddley Peeps

Happy Sunday!

Today we have the new challenge starting over at HERE COME THE BOYS. Thanks to everyone who entered our last challenge especially as it was over Easter and I know lots of you were super busy while the kids were off school! Hopefully they are back to school next week so you can all get back to crafting. So on to this new challenge and our theme is cards for Tiddley Peeps (male of course!) So here is my card with a great little image from Mo Manning coloured with my trustied Promarkers. See what you think.

#24 Anything but A Card

Hiya,

Well thanks to everyone who played along to the last challenge...we had some great entries. Now onto this fortnights challenge from HERE COME THE BOYS and it's sponsored by Wendy.

#24 Anything But A Card

 This time we need to see your wonderful creations but NOT A CARD and still be for a man or boy!. It was a tough challenge for a moment because I was so tuned into making cards that I couldn't think of anything else. Then I remembered about scrap bookpages. So here is my page of my boys when they were little.

I was quite pleased with the outcome as I don't really scrap.....it took me a good 4 to 5 hours as I played around alot and chatted with friends whilst on a crop.  LOL!!!

Anyways hop on over to our blog see what the team have come up with then have a go yourself. You could make a bookmark, a door hanger an altered tin or even a scrap page like me!

    

# 23 D.I.Y

Morning to all,

It's sunny here at the mo and a warmish 5 degrees at this time in thew morning. I will be shortly going off to the Ideal Home Show at Earls Court in London with my Mum, two sisters and niece for a lovely treat. Anyway onto this weeks challenge.

Well done to the winners of the last challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. Comic book Hero's fantastic cards made by all. This fortnights challenge No 23 is D.I.Y image or Embellishment. We would love to see all your creations surrounding the theme of DIY. As always there is a great prize up for grabs if you enter in the next two weeks but remember your entry has to be for a man or boy!

Here is my DT card for the challenge.

The background paper is from Personal Impressions and using a DIY man stamp from Diamond Stamps (very old company) coloured with my Promarkers and then I stamped the frame with a StampsAway clear stamp coloured it and cut it out. Finally I punched 3 little silver circles and scored them to look like screws. A card worthy of giving to my Dad!

So don't waste any time and hop over to HERE COME THE BOYS and have a look at the other DT members cards. Then have a go and enter yours.

#22 Super/ Comic/Cartoon Hero

Well thanks to everyone who entered the last challenge and well done to the winner and top 3/4. Now on to this fortnights challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS.

The theme is Super / Comic/ Cartoon Hero  and don't forget it has to be for a boy or man! Here is my DT card.

What do you think ? Ha Ha......  isn't he cute! This little guy is another of Mo Mannings digi images and I coloured him with my Promarkers. The Hero was cut using my cricut machine and stuck onto a mount that was embossed using a cuttlebug folder.

#21 Vintage Feel

Helloooo...

Well it's that time again and we have another new challenge over at HERE COME THE BOYS. The theme this time around is VINTAGE FEEL. So we are asking all you lovely card makers to create a card for a man or boy in mind using a Vintage/ Antique or distressed feel to it. Here is my interpretation.

I had a fab time while I was making this card as I was spending the day with my dear friend at a crop day. We were crafting to our hearts content!! The image is an Edwin stamp that I have had for some time. I coloured him with wax pencils and odourless spirit then cut and mounted him on a nestie shaded with vintage photo ink. The DP was distressed with a tool and vintage ink. I then stamped the sentiment using one of Lynnes ticket stamps and distressed some of her twine, all available from Crafts 4 You.

I hope you like and have a go at this challenge your self. Check out what the rest of the team have created too. xxx



# 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
