Let's go surfing....

It's time for another challenge over at Cards for Men and here's my DT card.

The sponsor is That Craft Place which is a fabulous shop based in Eastbourne.  Please take a visit, I'm sure you'll find lots of goodies.

The challenge theme is 'Sports'.  Please pop over to Cards For Men to see the ideas from the rest of the Design Team.

I've used The Greeting Farm's 'Surfer Ian' which has been coloured with my promarkers.  The paper was a freebie from a magazine and the other bits are from my stash.  I'd like to enter this card into the  following challenges:

Sisterhood of Crafters - 2W, 3E - Masculine (2nd week)
Pollycraft Challenges - 2W, 3E - #1 Anything goes

Let's play ball

This is my card for the challenge over at Cards for Men.  It should have been on here last week, but I've been swamped, so although the card was made on time, my post wasn't.  The challenge still has a week to run, though and there's a great prize from The Paper Shelter.

The image I used is Happy Times - Baseball.  The nice thing about the images at The Paper Shelter is that you also get a pre-coloured version and a background page.  So if you are in a rush you can 'cheat'.I've coloured my image using promarkers.  The backing paper is from Fancy Pants.

Please pop on over to the main challenge post to get the full details and to see the rest of the cards made by my team mates.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Let's hear it for DAD at Cards for Men

So, I've not been the best blogger of late - I've had very little mojo.  Hopefully, I can get back on track now, and I'll start with my latest DT card for Cards for Men.

The challenge is sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and there are two digis for one lucky winner.  The image I've used is Gardening Gus which I've coloured with my promarkers.  The sentiment is computer generated and the backing card is from Stampin Up (probably Chocolate Chip but can't be sure).  The backing paper is from October Afternoon which I love.

Take a look at the main challenge post over at Cards for Men for all the details and to get a look at the wonderful work from my team-mates.

DT call over at Cards for Men

It's time again for a new challenge at Cards for Men and this time it's an 'Anything Goes' challenge sponsored by a new Digi Stamp Shop, Squidgi Digi.  The prize is 4 Digi Stamps.  We were lucky enough to be given some images to use and here's my card:

I've used the image, Docs, and since I've had zero time of late, I changed the line colour to a chocolate brown and left the image simply printed and mounted.  I like it when images are good enough to be left uncoloured.

Please pop across to the main post and see what my team mates have come up with and to get all the details of the prize.   I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Digistamps 4 Joy - 2W, SIO - #64 Anything Goes (2nd week)

A new challenge in one colour

Here's my card for the latest challenge at Cards for Men, where the theme is Monochrome.  I cheated a bit and altered the colour of my digi image to match my colour.  I think it's quite effective though.

The image is from Digital Delights who are also sponsoring the challenge.  Pop over to the main post and see what my team-mates came up with.

Be My Valentine!

This is my DT card for Cards for Men where the challenge starting today is 'All My Love'.  The prize is 5 digis from Kenny K which is worth entering for, isn't it?  Pop over to the main post to see all the details and to see the wonderful cards from the rest of the team.

My image is called 'Hug' which I've coloured with promarkers and backed with Stampin Up cardstock (Real Red).  The backing paper is from Love Notes by Fancy Pants and the sentiments are from My Heart stamp set from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.

Off on your travels?

It's time for another challenge at Cards for Men and this time the theme is 'Transport'.  We are sponsored by Meljen's Designs and I got to work with Skiing Mouse which was really fun.

I've coloured the image with Promarkers.  The backing card and ink are Stampin Up (Baja Breeze) and the paper is from a new paper pad from Fancy Pants called Little Sport.

I hope you like my card and that you are encouraged to join in our challenge.  Hop on over to the main post where you'll find all the details together with more ideas from my team mates.

When I grow up I want to be a ....

builder.  The little chap in my card does anyway.

This is my DT card for the first challenge of 2013 at Cards for Men which is sponsored by Stampin Up, courtesy of Carole Bryson Wood at Heartfully Yours.  The prize is 2 full size ink pads (winners choice of subtles, brights or regals).  Pop over to Cards for Men where you'll find out more information and also get some wonderful inspiration from my team-mates.

My image is from The Stamping Boutique, who have sadly closed their doors now.  I printed out a number of their 'AJ' images with a view to doing a series of 'When I grow up' type birthday cards so you'll see a few more over the next few weeks.  It's coloured with promarkers.  The cardstock is 'More Mustard' from Stampin Up and the background pattern is from 'Cuddly Buddly' which I've had for ages.
