Oh no...time for a masculine card!

Hello there,

Happy Saturday! I hope you are well and haven't caught any of these nasty cold bugs that are doing the rounds at the moment. I can report that I have finally manage to catch a head cold and I'm feeling rather sorry for myself....it's that or I am rather allergic to all this work lark!

So, you may have noticed in the blog post title that this week I have a masculine card for you today.....and some of you might know how this theme is not my favourite! I find it really hard to get excited about masculine cards. However, with this new challenge at Sweet Stampin I decided to put my best foot forward and try and enjoy the experience.

I actually surprised myself with this creation and enjoyed being challenged....

I went with a green and brown colour combo to go with my golf themed card....I even got a bit creative with a toothpick to make my sentiment! My image is coloured with my Promarkers and I have added a little faux stitching. I am really pleased with the end results and actually enjoyed making this masculine card! Maybe its all those polka dots (they look a bit like golf balls I think!)

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Papertake Weekly - It's All New - the sentiment is new to me

For more inspiration for our masculine challenge this week pop by the Sweet Stampin challenge blog and take a peek at all the fab DT cards. While you're there you can also take a peek at our fab sponsor this week....

Show us your balls....

....or any other kind of sporting equipment that you fancy! In fact...there doesn't have to be any equipment at all if you don't fancy it...just some sport!

Hello there....I hope you are well today and have had a lovely week!

This week we have a fab new challenge for you at My Time to Craft...this week as you can probably tell we have a themed challenge - we want to see some kind of sport on your creations! Whatever takes your fancy as long as its a sport!

 

Now my card this week has come about from a request from a work colleague. He needed a thank you card for his housemates....who happen to love golf! My cute little golfing couple have been coloured with my Promarkers and then I have fixed them onto a collection of green and brown papers. I think all those little white polka dots almost look like mini golf balls!

 

Pop by the My Time to Craft challenge blog to see all the gorgeous DT cards that have been created this week!

 

I'd also like to enter this card in the following challenges:

Catching Up on some challenges!

Morning All!

I'm lucky enough to have today off work as its my best friend Becca's Birthday tomorrow and I am meeting her later for a girlie afternoon.....a bit of lunch and some shopping are in order! So, this morning I decided to do some baking....no surpries there.....and make some cards. I haven't really had that much time to make cards recently, so I decided to get stuck in on some challenges.

First off I have a dinky little card for my two favourite weekend challenges.....Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge and Allsorts....

I love making little cards, this one measures 4inches by 4 inches - so cute! The challenge over at SCSC is "clean and simple".....I think this fits the bill perfectly....a cute little image, a sentiment and a little colour. The Allsorts challenge is "Things with Wings", I hope they like my bee! Pop over to both blogs and check out all the gorgeous DT cards, be quick though because there will be new challenges tomorrow!

My second card is a masculine card to fit in with the challenge over at Simon Says Samp...which this week is either Father's Day or Masculine. After loosing my dad so recently I don't think I'll be making any father's day cards this year, so I opted for "masculine". I've also decided to enter this card in the challenge over at Passion for Promarkers which has a sports theme this week. This is the first time I've entered a challenge there, but I've practised with my promarkers for a couple of months now and decided to give it a go.....after all nothing ventured, nothing gained! The only thing I haven't used Promarkes to colour is my golfers face....I haven't got my skin tone pens yet and had to use a trusty pencil....I hope thats ok with the Promarker DT! Don't forget to pop over to both of these blogs, there are some gorgeous cards to be seen!

The white blob in the corner of the card is supposed to be a golf ball.....looking at it now I'm not so sure! And I hope you like the sentiment - I love play on words on cards, anything to make people smile!

One last thing I wanted to share with you today is a photo of my latest buy for the kitchen....I'm very sad, but these beautiful glass jars for my flour and sugar make me happy when I look in my baking cupboard! They are actually preserving jars, but hey I think they look fab anyway...they even have "home made" etched on them!

Thanks for popping by today, don't forget to pop back tomorrow when I'll tell you all about this week's challenge over at Sweet Stampin!
