In The Male Room Again!

By

  Hello - it’s a long time since I last posted but I was asked to be a Guest Designer in  The Male Room  and I jumped at the chance. I set up the challenge blog a long time ago but had to give it up due to personal reasons. Since then it has carried on splendidly and today is their 200th challenge - how cool is that? So here is the challenge brief: Now to be totally honest with you I am a cat person and I very nearly did a cat card however, a dog is man's best friend and after all this is a male card so.................. Here we have a very excited trio of woofers out in the forest on their walkies! I used Stampin' Up sets for this card: Trees For Sale, Campology and Grassy Grove. Don't forget to pop over and take a look at all the other fab cards from the DT and leave some love. J xx

On your marks

 So - I have a drawer and it’s full of scraps of decorative paper, card stock off cuts and unfinished projects. I was mooching through said drawer and found - right at the bottom - some stamped images and I thought hmmmmm - I could use these to make a card. And hey presto - here is is  We’re getting plenty of April showers at the moment so this card is very appropriate! The images I found were not coloured so I coloured them with my alcohol markers. I fussy cut the flowers and added them with 3D foam pads - a few sparkles added the finishing touch, I would like to enter this card into the challenge over at  Addicted to Stamps and More Thanks for taking the time to read my post today - see you soon xx

Stamps I haven’t Used Yet!

 I am ashamed to say that these days I have many stamps and stamp sets that I am yet to use! Gone are the days when new stash was used within 5 minutes of being delivered - time was taken up caring for family members. But now I have precious time to spend crafting and I am rediscovering all my favourites and new ones too. Today Peekaboo Farm makes it’s debut - take a look  All the elements for this card were stamped and coloured with my markers and then fussy cut. Each piece was attached with 3D foam pads. Don’t you think he’s a cute little piggy? Well this little piggy is going wee wee all the way into the following two challenges!! NBUS Challenge CAS Colours and Sketches Hope you like today’s card - see you soon xx

Anyone for Coffee?

 Over in The Male Room they want cards with embossing on. Now I could have used an embossing folder but my Big Shot is deep in a cupboard and it would prove too much of a faff to drag it out! Instead I took a piece of card stock and with my score board I embossed lines to create a grid. I used this as my background for the card adding my coffee cups and coffee beans. The images are from the Stampin’ Up online exclusives - Latte Love. The Male Room Thanks for stopping by today - see you soon xx

Spring Birds

 The sun is starting to shine a bit more and the days are getting longer - Spring is finally here!! It’s lovely to hear all the birds singing too and watching them building their nests. Today’s card is very spring like and has lots of birds. It’s an easel card which is one of my favourites to make and they do look quite stunning. I am entering this card into the challenge over at  Make My Monday #223 National Picture of a Bird  I’m off to sit in the garden for 5 minutes with a cup of coffee and enjoy the sunshine - hope you’re having a good day too - see you soon xx
