Mish mash Father's Day card.

Got a hectic week at work this week so, as today was my day off, I ignored the housework and paperwork and hibernated in my craft room for a few hours. I shuffled around some more of my unmounted stamps then I set down to "actually craft!"

The next cards I needed in my diary were Father's Day Cards , I have 3 to make and this afternoon I made two of them. How organised am I? LOL, makes a change from the lastminute.com attitude I usually adopt.

A total mish mash of stamps and styles but hopefully they all work together. I did enjoy working with these colours, once again I used a snippet of recycled ribbon of of some packaging.

My card meets the criteria over at;

Crafts by Carolyn - Time to Create, something for a man.
ABC Challenge - L is for lots of layers
Rhedd and Rosie - No flowers/nothing floral
Open Minded crafting - Use some ribbon
CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge - May
Crafting at the weekend - #1 Anything Goes

It's been a long time since I have really crafted so today was a real treat and some much needed me time.

Bye for now.

Dottie's World - Father's Day

Over at Dottie's World this week, the Challenge is to make a card for Father's Day. It's as simple as that, all you need to do is use on of the many downloads available from Charmed.

I chose to use "Green Fingers George" from the George at Work collection.

So if you still have your Father's Day card to make...grab a download and get over to Dottie's World for some inspiration from the rest of the Design Team.

Cricket George!

Decided to use George for my dad's Father's Day card-he is cricket mad....amongst other sports.

I really enjoyed making this card up-very little colouring to do either! I printed out 2 copies, cut out and layered the first and used the second to add more dimension to his cricket pads.

Monday blues.

Goodness, doesn't the weekend fly by and yet another dull, drizzly Monday starts off the week. Kiddies have this week at school before half term-let's hope the weather improves a bit.

Managed to finish off the men's toppers I started yesterday but I need to make a card for one of Amelia's friends before I can start on any more CBC challenges!!! Will have a look and see what one I fancy trying next!

Slowly but surely!

In a very feeble attempt at joining in the challenges on CBC today I have made a few toppers. One of the challenges was to make 3 different cards for men!! Not really making many cards at the moment because of lack of space and everything needing to be packed away when the work eventually starts on the extension...so instead I made mostly toppers. I have only made 2 different one so far....the third design is still in pieces on my table.

Hopefully I can plod my way through a few more challenges as the week goes on...I have loads of ideas but will I get the time.....hmmmmm.
