Boys and Their Toys

Morning All.

Well it's Sunday again, and I thought I'd better do my post early, before I go and collect my eldest from a week long Scout camp - guess I'll send the rest of the week washing clothes and trying to fumigate a child, but I hope he's had a fab time. His little brother has missed him big time, even though he won't admit it - Mum is just not that good at football or shooting things on the Wii.

Today also see'e the start of a very appropriate new challenge at Here Come The Boys. We would like to see your male orientated creations on the theme of 'Boys and Their Toys'. I love this image by Mo Manning, as it suits so many of my childrens friends, so couldn't resist using it here. I hope you will come on over and join in the fun as the other DT cards are amazing - as always.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Alphabet challenge - M men only

Bronte and Bella's challenge - anything goes with a Mo image

Crafty Ribbons - spots and dots

and

Party Time Tuesday - anything goes

Thanks for looking, and hopefully I'll be back soon.

Sketch Time

Sorry once again for the late posting, but I've been re-landscaping my front garden with the help of a husband and builder friend, and today we have moved 4 tonnes of stone, so now I'm a bit cream crackered, but am sure it will be well worth it when we've finished.

Deep In The Jungle

Afternoon All.

Well the kids have now broken up, summer holidays have begun, and still no arguments - yipppeee, hey, but it's only day 2 :o). Plus, the sun is out, so I can play in my garden now as well - I tackled the lawn yesterday, so at least the view out the window now looks like a garden rather than a wild flower meadow (does that sound better than yellow with dandelions lol).

Anyhow, today see's the start of a new challenge over at Here Come The Boys, and I loved this one, it's a 'Jungle' themed male orientated creation. I thought I'd do some decoupage for a change, so I hope you like my creation. Check out the other DT cards as well because they are awesome xx Our prize this time is from our very own Woo, and she is offering a paper stack of 50 lovely papers and a card tag pack, so as the saying goes 'you have to be in it to win it', why not hop on over and join us.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Well today sees the launch of a new challenge over at CRAFT, and this week we would like to see you use a playing card on your creation.

Summer Garden

Evening All.

Sorry I'm late with todays posting, but it's just been one of 'Those' days. Small person had a PJ day at school, and I spent ages trying to convince him he really ought to put pants on under the pyjama bottoms as there were a bit loose, and I didn't fancy any flashing incidents at school. But at least they raised lots of money for Great Ormond Street Hospital. After dropping him at school I came home to find the cupboard under the sink had flooded - and so the day goes on.......

Anyhow, todays card is ready for the new challenge at CRAFT, where this week we would like to see your summer themed creations - think I should have done a rainy card, think it would have been more appropriate.

I would like to enter my creation in the following challenges;

Incy Wincy Designs - summertime

Stamps + Fun = Creativity - summer

and

Secret Crafter - use pastel colours

Thanks for looking, and I hope you don't get too wet this summer lol
