Two male cards in the same week...and no doodling!!

Good morning Saturday bloggers and my scheduled post. Today over at Sweet Stampin' we have a new challenge for you...yes you guessed it "masculine"...can't believe that's 2 masculine cards I have posted in the same week!!

and of course there is the monthly sponsor Joanna sheen who is also offering a £10 voucher.



for my card I have used papers from MME - Stella and Rose Hattie collection which are great man colours...The funky scallop border has been cut with my MFT scallop die. The stamp is Chester from Kraftin Kimmie which I have coloured with copics. I added some twine and a button and then finished with a message.

Back to work tomorrow....

Happy Sunday everybody...well I did intend to get more cards made this week whilst I have been on holiday but you know how it is when the schools are off....Holly had me traipsing all over and spending money. although she got bored and fed up once she had eveything she wanted!! Went shopping to Glasgow one day too....I thought it was bad enough shopping with Holly but my mother and Holly on the same day...love them both dearly but omg!! Holly likes to go to Primark, Repbulic, New Look and then you go to the other extreme...the Edinburgh Woollen Mill, which confused Holly as we were in Glasgow. What did I buy....roasting bags from Lakeland, that was me so I think a little bit of internet shopping may be in order later today.

So for my card I have followed the sketch over at A Gem of a challenge although I have tilted it round, I have used papers from Fancy Pants - Summers End, I have layered each of the papers onto bazill card and distressed the edges, the stamp is from Lili of the Valley which I have coloured with copics. I have cut out some felt flowers with my MFT flower trio die which has to be my most favourite die but then you may know that!! I added a ribbon and a bigger bow than I would normally use but I think it looks ok.

I hope to be back shortly with another creation.

I think it's time for Pippi to make an appearance....

Good morning bloggers, and it's a lovely day. So I have got some housework done, the washing is on with a batch ready to hang out, then I will sort lunch and dinner but first a wee post...when I saw the challenge over at I-copic was BG then I had to make a card...I think the blue/greens are my favourite copics.

For my card I have used papers from MME - Be Amazing and Fancy Pants - Summer's End. The stamp os of course Pippi Longsocks from sugar Nellie which has been coloured with copics, the BG colours I have used is BG09, BG72 and BG000, the flowers has been cut using my MFT flower trio die, I threaded some twine to the button and added a message a couple of pearls.

Happy Birthday Dad...

Well good afternoon bloggers, thought I would post this just now as I don't have anything else to show you but it will be fine as my dad doesn't look at my blog. It's my dad's birthday next week and this is the card I have made for him. The stamp is Sail Away from Stampin' Up, I coloured the sails with polychromos, there is actually white and a very pale blue in there!! The paper is from Jillybean Soup - Apple cheddar soup and all layered onto kraft. I doodled around the edges too...I quite like that look. I cut those little flags out with my MFT pennants die. The message is from LOTV...oops nearly forgot...I added a charm too.

I have given my blog a makeover yesterday as I had a few followers say they couldn't read the text on my other one, I think when it was on a go slow and the page took a while to load, so this is my first post on my new look blog.
