Crafting for all Seasons #104 "It's a Boy Thing"

Good morning all.

Plans here all took a change of direction last night when Gary decided he wasn't confident enough riding his motorbike to Iceland...unfortunately he's left the decision too late to get refunds on his ferry bookings! He's now going to fly out to Iceland tomorrow and rent a small car and just be away for about three weeks instead of five. It's a shame but problems with the bike mean he just hasn't had time to get any road experience and I'm glad he was sensible enough to make the decision himself.

Summer has arrived with a vengeance...it's been glorious here and it's set to continue until the weekend :)

A fortnight has passed and it's time for a new challenge at CFAS, our theme for this fortnight is "It's a Boy Thing"...so anything for a male will do. We're being sponsored by JustInklined who kindly gave the DT images to use.

I've used Football Crazy, coloured with promarkers and die cut with a circle nestie. All dies from Spellbinders. Sentiment from Imagination Crafts. Backing paper from Wild Rose Studio (I think!). Finished with some sequins...excuse the wet glue showing!

Do pop over to the challenge blog to see the inspiration from the other girls, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Christmas Challenge (with sketches) #7

Where are the weeks going to this year - our kids return to school today and it only seems five minutes since they broke up!! Any way it's time for another challenge over at CCWS and this time it was Janneke's turn to make the sketch and we're being sponsored by Crealies. Here is my card:

Using this gorgeous image from Just Inklined which I've coloured with promarkers then used up some leftover mix of white flowersoft and glitter to highlight the snow. The backing papers are from my bit box and I think they're from Joanna Sheen's Pam West CD. Lacy doiley is a Cheery Lyn die again found in my bit box. Finished with some raffia ribbon, sentiment and some pearls.

Do pop over to CCWS to see the sketch for yourself and find out how the rest of the Design Team have interpreted it. I do hope you can join us this challenge and get those Christmas cards made early.
