For Men

Good morning to you all and thank for dropping by.  My cards are definitely like buses aren't they?  None for ages then three in a row!!

Please scroll down if you are looking for my Christmas Card Club card.

Today's card is my DT card for International Art & Soul and the theme is "For Men". I've gone to the younger end of the male spectrum because my card is for my great nephew who has just turned 13 so he is officially a teenager.

My Card

Recipe

7" square base card - Anna Marie Designs

backing papers - LOTV 

image - Kenny K

star die - Spellbinders

sentiment - computer generated

Just a fun easy card and ideal for a new teenager.  Harry liked it - but I have it on good authority that his 8 year old sister thought it "very cool"!! You've got to smile haven't you? I think Kenny K made some great boys images so it's a shame they have stopped trading now.

Why not pop over to the blog and see the creations from my teamies and maybe join in the challenge? We are a Just For Fun challenge but we do have great badges for your side bar - or perhaps I should say "cool" badges ... lol!

Hope everybody is well and getting lots of crafting done.  

Take care.

Musical Birthday

Good morning and I hope this finds you all warm and well. It's definitely autumnal now - in fact some morning it feels very wintry. This morning it's bitterly cold a with an extremely hard frost. Looks like it might be a long winter.

This was an extremely quick card because I suddenly realised I didn't have a card ready for my great nephew's birthday. I was dashing so much that I only realised later that I had taken the photo before adding the musical notes to the top of the sentiment - which is why I had typed it in the lower part of the die cut. Luckily I was able to pop them on before posting it.  Happy birthday Sébastien!

blue card stock - Lime Tree Crafts

houndstooth e/f - Papermania

Thank goodness for toppers when you are in a hurry! I wanted to post the card when I went to the dentist in town rather than in the coutry post box.  Mind you, our postman is brilliant and is always willing to take things from me to post if I need to get them off.

Well that's all for today.

Tkae care!

Hi friends and fellow bloggers. Today I have a card for a little boy - and I'm not good at boy's cards!

Sorry my picture is rather wonky! I have used a topper from The Hobby House featuring a Kenny K image.

The backing papers are  Papermania Capsule Collection "Burleigh Blue". I cut the stripey paper into a pennant shape. A few pearls finished it off and it is nice and flat for posting. 

Another good day weather-wise and this means that I am of out on my bike again very soon. John is still working on the roof so I'll be on my own but in fact I actually quite like cycling alone. It means I don't have to worry about trying to keep up with John on the hills - I don't stand a chance! But I am much better on the level and going down hill! Ha ha ha! Actually the different gearing on our bikes does mean that  I do actually need to change down and slow down to allow him to keep up with me on the level otherwise I fly miles ahead of him. If only I could do it on the hills! I do manage to cycle up them but I am so much slower than him.  

Have a good day. Love and hugs from Christine xx
