Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

Good morning! It's Monday again (groan) but to cheer you up we have a new challenge at Dream Valley . (Yay!!!!!) Our lovely sponsor is Di's Digi Designs , do go and see her fab designs! The challenge is One for the Boys and is a chance to make something for the blokes in your life. Remember, it doesn't have to be a card! Though I did make a card myself. I made this for a friend's 60th birthday, luckily he liked the image and sentiment as much as I do! I made something using them for my Dad some years ago and even though he enjoyed it my sister disapproved rather loudly!!! You have to be careful sometimes! Anyway, back to the card. The image is Gus Birthday - Optional by the always-entertaining Bugaboo Stamps. I added Glossy Accents to his glasses and the car, then fussy cut him and popped him up on foam pads. The mat is cut using a Spellbinders die. The papers are from an old Cosmo Cricket pad, Joy Ride, which sadly is out of print. The stars are from...

Happy Saturday, everyone! Our new Challenge at My Time to Craft! this week is a topical one, with Father's Day rapidly approaching: For a Male . Cards for a bloke can be difficult, since you can't smother them with flowers, lace, ribbons and gems! For this card, my inspiration came from the paper, an old stack by DCWV called 'Rock Star.' The background papers and the label came from the DCWV set, I added a narrow strip of gold card to each side of the central paper to give a good finish. the gems and stars are from stash. The Zombie guitarist is an old digi by Bugaboo Stamps , sadly he no longer seems to be available, and he is coloured in Copics. If you need to make a card for your bloke or your Dad for Father's Day, go and be inspired by my teamies' cards! Thanks for looking! love Mags B x
