Men Only!

Hello there! This is my second post for today....if you are looking for my Sweet Stampin DT card please scroll down!

 

Oh no!! Did you see those dreaded words?? They always make me shudder when I see them in a card challenge....."men only" or "masculine"....yuck!

 

Not that I'm a man hater or anything....Joe wouldn't be particulary pleased with me for being anti-men...especially as he proved himself to be really romantic this week...for Valentine's day I was cooked a three course meal, with matching wine. He also remembered a card (which featured cupcakes) and even a box of chocolates!

 

Noooo...I'm just a girlie kinda crafter...anything pink, cute or sparkly and I'm there! I struggle more when I have to make a card fit for a man!!

 

So, when I saw the challenge this week at My Time to Craft was "men only" I decided I would use one of my favourite manly stamps....I think I probably always get this stamp out for these challenges!!

 

 

Pop by the My Time to Craft Challenge blog to see how all the other DT members used the theme.

 

I've coloured my stamped image with my Promarkers and then I opted for a manly blue and brown colour combo. I was quite pleased with myself for finding that paper that looks a little bit like wood!

 

To be honest I'm not sure why I struggle with manly cards and I am pleased with how this one has turned out....I suppose practice makes perfect!

 

I'd also like to enter this card over at Tuesday Throwdown where they have an anything goes challenge for us this week!

Colour on Kraft

Hello there...Happy Saturday! Hope you've had a fab week!

We've had a little change over at My Time to Craft.....our challenges are now weekly and they will now take place on Saturday each week! I really hope you will be joining us each Saturday!

For our first Saturday challenge we'd like to see you colouring on Kraft paper......

 

I thought I might struggle a little bit with this challenge, but as soon as I got started I actually really enjoyed it! I stamped this cute image onto some Kraft paper and then I coloured it with my Promarkers. I then picked out a selection of blue and brown papers for the background.

Colour Combo Challenge!

Morning Folks!

Can you tell I'm off work at the moment....here I am with another card!! This mornings card is for the Allsorts Challenge thats been running over Christmas...its a colour combo challenge....our cards must be blue and brown. I love this colour combo, it always looks sooooo pretty!

I decided I wanted to make a pretty card to match the colour combo....so I got my little teacup stamps out. There is a little bit of sparkle in there, and some punched paper.

Pop by the Allsorts Blog for some more wonderful inspiration!

Don't forget to pop back tomorrow to see the new challenge from Sweet Stampin!

Thanks for popping by day,

PS - Forgot to say that the Cola Cupakes that I made yesterday were very tasty! I think I might use more cola syrup next time because the flavour was quite faint, but the sponge was amazingly soft......yummy!!
