Just for Men...

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! It's the weekend at long last! It's been a really busy week this week, which found me in Nottingham, Swindon and also London. I am shattered and really glad that it's the weekend!

I'm back with another challenge for you from Sweet Stampin and this week Team Abi have a challenge for you that normally leaves me feeling really rather cold! Yes, its that "just for men" theme that I dislike as it tends to mean I have to steer clear of the pinks and purples in my paper stash. However, this time I have to say that I am actually quite pleased with my card and I might even go as far as saying I enjoyed making it!

Shock horror!! Here it is....

As you can see I have gone with a brown and blue colour combo for my masculine card and I have stamped a hand of cards. I must admit I added a little faux stitching which I suppose is a little girly, but overall I think it's a very masculine looking card!

For more masculine inspiration (cards not men!!) pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at Team Abi's DT cards. While you are there you can also take a peek at our fab sponsor this week.....

Thanks for popping by today,

I'm back!

Hello folks.....well after a couple of days of successfully scheduled posts I am back! Thank you for everyones lovely comments that they've left me recently....its so nice to hear from everyone.

I've spent the weekend with Joe at the 2nd Round of the British Drifting Championships...he didn't qualify this time, but we had a good weekend. I got to go out in the car this time, which was good fun! Here is the proof....do you like my helmet??

Ha, ha!!

This is a photo of Joe drifting the track, his car is the white and black one......

As you can see the track was quite dusty and there was a lot of wind, not to mention the tyre rubber flying through the air!! I'm happy to report that I'm back, I'm clean and I've been crafting!! Inspired by the photo challenge at Chocolate, Coffee and Cards I decided to make a bright, cheerful card today, this is the photo...

Isn't that a fab cake?? I love the colours and decided they would make a fab card!

I've used a mixture of brightly coloured plain and patterned papers to match this cute LOTV image. I've added some faux white stitches and some cute little butterflies. I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:
