Man oh Man

 Morning all.  Over at Make My Monday this week we are looking for a 'Masculine' project. I know that Golf isn't just for men but I've used masculine papers with my topper.  It's a simple design but I like how it turned out.


I've had the decoupage topper sheet forever.  I'm trying very hard to use up what I have.

Please pop over and join in the fun.

Home is where you moor it

 Hello all.  Once again I am late posting this one and, shame on me, it's my theme over at The Alphabet Challlenge.  I am determined that next week I will get my proper days off.  Yes, I know I've been saying it all month but...

Anyway, over to the theme of 'H is for Home'.  I was so tempted to do a narrowboat for this one as that's exactly what my home is.  However, I figured it would be a bit niche for a new home card.  I opted for simplicity instead.


I used a digital stamp from Rachel Vass Designs on Etsy and just added a paper strip and some gems.  I am so pleased with it.  CAS isn't always easy for me so when it works I'm so chuffed.

Please join in my theme and I promise I will comment on all the entries.

Thanks for reading.

Having fun with fun folds

 Morning all.  It's time for a new challenge over at Cardz4galz.  We are looking for Fun Folds. I'm really enjoying fun folds at the moment so this was just up my street. I think this sort of thing really makes an impact for a special occasion. A friend asked for a special card for her mum so here it is.


I'm so pleased with this one.  Please pop over and join in the fun.

Thanks for reading.

Confused! Sorry

 OK, so things have changed a little over at Cardz4guyz.  We are now a monthly challenge (the third Tuesday in the month) instead of bi-weekly.  And I managed to forget this for our first monthly challange.  'Summer Holidays' is our theme for this month.  I've used another one of my beach clipart images as I do love a beach in summer.


I hope you will support us by joining in now we've gone monthly.  It gives you plenty of time to get inspired.

Thanks for reading.

Summer Daze

 Morning all.  I'm a couple of days late for this month's Sparkles Monthly Challenge.  Sorry, I've been doing extra at work. We have the theme of 'Summer Days' for you this time.  I have some sweet clipart images from Pixel Popsicles on Etsy.  It's a full set of more 'mature' beach bodies.  I think they are so much fun.




The real tragedy is they've all got better beach bodies than I have!

Please pop over and show us your 'summer days'.

Thanks for reading.

So simple

 Morning all.  Over at Make My Monday we would like 'embossing - wet or dry' on your projects please.  I chose to dig out a small strip embossing folder and emboss it three times on my panel.  I then added three different coloured gems to the flower centre.  I do think it will look better with a sentiment but I couldn't decide what to do so I will add that later.


I hope you like my project and will pop over to check out the challenge.

Thanks for reading.

Hey there Girlfriend!

 Morning all.  We are up to 'G for Girlfriend' over at The Alphabet Challenge.  I'm really into using clipart at the moment and I found the perfect set on Etsy from The Ink Pot Store.  I have had so much fun with these images I've made multiple cards with them.  




I really love how these have turned out and there are so many more images in the set.  

Please pop over and join in the fun.

Thanks for reading.
