Going Bowling

A good and easy sketch this time over on Cards for Men:
I've used a great image from Dude Time Doodles - Larry Lane, who has been coloured with Promarkers. The three little bowling pins I've had for ages; I'm a bit of a hoarder and don't like to throw anything away as it could come in useful one day! These are from a cracker and I knew they would be perfect for a bowling card one day!

The papers are from Funky Hand - Girls and Boys and again I'm using up my scraps! A bit of inking and faux stitching and the card is complete! You'll have to excuse the bit of glue that you can see under one of the pins - Jacob was much aggrieved that I'd used them and moved it!

Turkey Wishes

A quick card from me that actually took nearly 2 weeks to put together. Don't know why - probably everything else just got in the way! It's for the Cards For Men challenge which this fortnight is:

Animals

Ok, I'm pushing the theme a little here, but the turkey is an animal. Just a cooked one! I've used Turkey Lurkey from BoniBleaux Designs, coloured him with Promarkers and layered it onto some random offcuts of card I found in my stash.


The sentiment is part of a freebie set that I downloaded from GTC's Crafty Corner (I'd been after some of these tickets for ages so thank you!) The papers are Papermania 6x6 Home for Christmas stack that I must have bought but forgot about (oops!) as I found them in my stash!

And the string of mini lights? I've had these for absolutely ages and bought them years go and hardly ever used them! Just that the card needed something a bit butch to add to it, and although fairy lights are not that butch, I think they work well!

Rootin' Tootin' Birthday!

Samuel is off to a Birthday party for one of his school friends at weekend, and I could not resist making the card with this image from Bonibleaux Designs which I get to work with as I am part of the Dude Time Doodles Design Team!

I've used Cowpoke Cal, coloured him with Promarkers and added the star image badge and sentiment from the sentiments page.

I'm entering the card in the Cards for Men Challenge which is:

Anything Goes!


Papers are from Papermania 6x6 For Him paper stack. I've used my Nesties to frame the image, added string, card from my stash, a bit of inking and doodling and the card is complete! The boys thought the card was fab, lets hope the Birthday boy does too!

Super Birthday!

I found a new challenge site (well, new to me!) whilst blog hopping a while ago and the current Cards for Men challenge is:

Happy Birthday

Basically, the challenges are all male based, which, is no bad thing as sometimes these are the hardest cards to make!

I've used a Digi Sparkle image, coloured with Promarkers and printed my own sentiment. The backing papers are from Boys and Girls from Funky Hand which I found scraps of in my box and I am determined to use what I have hence the tall thin card blank!

The string is from my stash, along with the silver star. A nice quick card to make and such a fab image!
