Late entry for Cards for Men

I'm running behind this week and unfortunately, I'm late with my card for the current challenge over at Cards for Men.  Hopefully, you'll think it was worth the wait.  The sponsor for the current challenge is Digital Delights and we were lucky enough to get some images to work with.  I chose this one which is called 'Rodney Reindeer' and he is coloured with promarkers. Isn't he fab?  The cardstock is from Stampin Up and the rest is from my general stash.  Please pop over to the main post on Cards for Men for a look at my teammates ideas and to get all the details.

We're game for a laugh at Cards for Men

Here's the card I made for the current challenge over at Cards for Men where the theme this time is 'Make Us Laugh'.  The image is from the sponsor, Fresh Brewed Designs, and I got my hubby to think of a witty line.  There are other images of a similar theme at Fresh Brewed Designs and, I thought that they'd make smashing Christmas cards for work colleagues.  I coloured the image with promarkers and the base card is a premade card from DCWV.  One of my teammates, Jen, used a 3 dimensional pen to make snow which I thought I might try next time.

Check out the other ideas and all the rules over at Cards for Men.  Also, we're having a DT call to replace a couple of members who've left in recent months.  All you have to do is enter the challenge and put DT after your name.

Sport's Day

Sorry I'm late with my DT card, but better late than never.  The theme over at Cards for Men is 'Sports' and the sponsor this time is the fabulous, Peachy Keen Stamps.  Take a look over at the main post for full details and to see the great ideas that the rest of the team came up with.

I made this card for my middle son to take to his friends birthday party, this Saturday just gone.  The image is 'Harold and football' from Digistamp Boutique which I've coloured using my prismacolours.  The backing paper is from Basic Grey (Origins, I think).

The letters are cut using my Cricut from the cartridge 'Boys will be Boys'.  Joel really liked that his name was on the card which is why we do it, isn't it.

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

I Brake For Challenges - Fall
Digistamps 4 Joy - #28 anything goes
Crafting for all Seasons - #10 fall colors
Southern Girls - Anything Goes
House of Gilli - Fall/Autumn

Max's Birthday Card

The current theme over at Cards for Men is 'G is for...' which is pretty open as theme goes.  I've gone for 'G is for GOOOAAAL' with this card for my son's friend Max when he had his birthday recently.  The image is from Kenny K and the soccer background was cut on my Cricut.

I've coloured the image using my promarkers which (for those who don't know) are made by Letraset who are the sponsors of the challenge over at Cards for Men.  Take a look over on the main post for the full details and to get a look at the rest of the Design Team ideas.

Clean & Simple at Cards for Men

Oh my gosh, I've been an absent blogger.  Please forgive me but you know how it is, life just gets in the way sometimes.

This time over on Cards for Men we're looking for Clean & Simple cards and as you can see from my card, I took this very literally, lol.  This stamp was a recent second-hand purchase so I don't know if it's still current.  It's by Anita's if that helps though.  The gold matting was from my stash andthen it's just a plain pre-scored card from Craftwork Cards.  Inside I've written Merry Christmas in gold but my handwriting is not good enough so I'll probably print something else to go inside.

The sponsor this time for Cards for Men is One Stop Card Crafts and we have a wonderful prize of £10 voucher to spend how you like.  If you haven't visited One Stop Card Crafts before, take the opportunity now, it's a real 'Aladdin's  Cave'.
