Alphabet Challenge Blog - M for Men

Can you believe a week has gone by already and time for my (pre)post for Alphabet Challenge Blog - this week the theme is M for Men so I thought I would get a head start on Father's Day woop (5 months in advance how organised am I?!?)

I've had these stamps for a good while now (I think I may have bought them in the sale last year) but they'll definitely be coming out again cos I really liked colouring it up. The papers were just perfect for this gardening stamp, and the raffia carried on the theme. I did think it needed a bit of sparkle though so out came my nail heads - love them - these are brown ones which toned in perfectly with the colours.

And a close-up to show the off the nice veggies

Supplies: Stamps by Buzzcraft, Nailheads by Ladybug Crafts Ink, Papers by Helz Cuppleditch
Extras: Raffia, White Card, Beige Ink Pad, Glossy Accents, Copics, Promarkers

Hope you all have fun with the challenge... I'm off to bed now, yay Friday by the time you read this - off out for tea too (postponed from last weekend cos we were both still ill) can't wait :) XOX

Queues Queues Queues

Wow what a 'busy' day it's been today. We were up at silly o'clock - I know during a week off :o( but I was bribed with a McDonalds Breakfast lol. Anyways everything took longer than should today and am knackered now.

And what was worse was I came home with no new toys to play with (Ian has a new phone to play with), had been looking at Netbooks but couldn't find one that fitted the right balance of price and computer-y stuff, and was also pretty lol. So will have to keep looking on that one. But my stamps from Kerry (Ladybug Crafts Ink) arrived this morning :) got some of the Magnum cat ones - they are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute, can't wait to get some cards made with them. But in the meantime here is the card I made for Father's Day....

Supplies: Card Kit free with Magazine, including the papers and the 'Hot Diggity Dog' by Andrea Jayne chipboard images

I was going to do one of my double-fold cards (anyone else make them like I do??? think most I've seen have been easel cards but I haven't managed to make one of them and have them work and look OK) but anyway thought that the double-fold type would confuse him and he'd likely manage to pull half of it off - bless him lol.

Anyways thinking that I deserve an early night now... XOX
