For a Man at MAWTT with very old stamps! - does anyone else have these!

Good morning all

Whoops sorry I'm late!

I didn't schedules it properly - it was set for 10 past 10 tonight lol

Anyway....

We have a new challenge over at 

Moving Along with the Times

our theme is

For a Man

This is a card I made for a good friend

it's not really that I forgot his birthday

just we always exchange cards by hand and it was after his birthday when it was given

and the inside

I used some stamps from Creative Expressions called Murray and Ethel

I've had them for years! - they're some of the first rubber stamps I ever bought

So much fun for cards for that certain age!!

Here's what I did .....

Images and sentiments - Murray and Ethel by Creative Expressions

Coloured with Spectrum Noir watercolour pencils

Papers - Just for Men from Crafters Comanion

Tag dies - MFT

Hope you'll join in our fun challenge this week

Winter (wonderland)Chaos and spring fever

Good morning all

We're up and running again over at 

Winter Wonderland

We found out that our lovely DT leader Eileen (Stars cards) is very poorly in hospital at the moment and we've been cast a drift a bit , firstly because we didn't know where she was , then we didn't know what to do without her!  In the meantime Helen has taken over temporarily and we are running the challenge without our sponsors at the moment as we're not really sure about things!!

I'm sure you all agree that we need  to thank Helen for taking on the task and  also send our love and prayers to Eileen, we are being updated by her friend as to how she is and hope we will hear some good news about her soon

Anyway......

the theme of the challenge is

Spring Fever

(flowers, romance, sunshine  etc)

(we don't run Christmas challenges for the first few weeks of the year - to give you all a break!!)

I decided just to go with a pretty floral scene - of what I would like it to be like - instead of miserable cold and damp!!

This is what i did
