Zoology

Hello All
It's time once again for another new challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz. The theme this week is 'Something Beginning With Z'.
I must admit I really struggled with this, and in the end I have just used a downloadable decoupage from Crafts U Print, which I have simply matted onto a backing once I'd done the decoupage.
I do hope you like my cute little zoo card.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Man's Best Friend

Hello Everyone
Here I am again with my next DT card for Cardz 4 Guyz. This week we would like to see your 'Man's Best Friend' male orientated creations.
This was quite tricky for me, as I  must admit  I am much more of a cat person than a dog person.
I looked through my stamp collection, and was struggling to find any that fitted the theme and inspired me, so instead I thought I'd do a punch art creation, inspired from Pintrest.
All the stamps used are from Stampin' Up, and I have used a stamp from the Glorious Grunge set to add the spots. I hope you like my little doggie, and he inspires you to join in the main challenge.
I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;
Ike's World - embossing
Tuesday Throwdown - embossing
Craft-Dee Bowz - anything goes with a handmade bow
Creatures and Critters - anything goes with a creature
Incy Wincy - texture
Creatalicious - anything goes with no DP
Paradise Of Stamps - a touch of Kraft
Alphabet Challenge - F for furry friends
Crafty Catz - dies and punches
and
Crafty Ribbons - it's a mans world
Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Dig It

Hello All
Well it's a very busy week this week - my youngest son turned 13 at the weekend, and my eldest is 18 on Wednesday, so it's all been a bit hectic at the ranch.
Hence I have done a very quick card for this weeks challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, where we would like to see your 'Dig It' themed cards. This could be gardening or 60's/70's dig it saying or digging for treasure or however you wish to interrupt it.
I have used a very old DoCrafts backing sheet for my card, with some PaperNation decoupage and a simply sentiment to finish. Considering how quick this card was to make, I was quite pleased with the outcome.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Creative Card Crew - anything goes
Lemon Shortbread - anything goes
Crafting From The Heart - anything goes
Our Crafty Corner - anything goes
Amusing - anything goes
and
Crafty Friends - in the garden
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you will jump on over to the main blog and join in the fun,
See you again soon.
