Goal............

Good Morning, I do hope today is going to be better weatherwise than yesterday, it was so wet and windy that  it blew loads of the new branches down off the tree in our front garden, such a shame as it was covered in lovely new buds.  Well today being Monday we have a new challenge at Ooh La La and this week it is:

 "Make it Manly" 

so we would like to see cards for the men in your life.   For my card I used an image and papers from the Boys to Men CD, used a Quickutz photo corner die and added some card candy and a computer generated sentiment.  Do check out the challenge blog and see what the other Design Team Members have created.

Challenges entered:

That Craft Place - One for the Boys

Daring Cardmakers - Male card (Sportsman)

Sparkles Forum - Men Only

Good Afternoon,

I've had a very busy week this week, emptying and refilling kitchen cupboards as we have had new work tops fitted and we are waiting for the tiler now to retile, I will be glad when that has been done as there has been so much dust.  Anyway I decided that I would "chill out" today and make a card I followed the sketch on Lili's Little Fairies (can't remember the last time I used a sketch), the image is Summer Daydream by LOTV and the sentiment is also by LOTV, I coloured with Copics.  The papers are by Papermania, flowers from Wild Orchid and the leaves cut with a Memory Box die.

I would also like to enter this card for the following challenges:

Aud Sentiments - Anything Goes

Inky Impressions - Anything Goes

Simon Says - Anything Goes

One Stitch at a Time - Anything Goes

Orchard Love

Our challenge at Fab'n'Funky this week is brought to us by our lovely Lou and is on the theme of

  "No Designer Papers" 

 For my card I used the image Orchard Love by Krista Smith and coloured her with Copics, I tried to use some different colours that I don't normally use, but though they look good I couldn't get a very good photo because of all the white.  I put the image onto a piece of card embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder added a ticket sentiment, ribbon and some dew drops.  Our sponsor this week is:

I added lace, pearls, Martha Stewart punch for the edge under the lace, and used a Marianne die on the foliage behind the flowers.
