Hello everyone,

Do you, like me, struggle to make male cards?  Well today its my youngest daughters partners birthday and as always I stuggled with the card. So I got my thinking head on and made him this card using the Sale Away stamp.

 I wanted to use some colours I don't usually use so decieded on black, soft suede and cajun craze as the colour theme and I think they work very well together for a male card.  I stamped the image in Cajun Craze on Whisper White card and, using a blender pen, added some "sea" to the card with Baja Breeze by picking the ink up from the lid.  I then did faux stiching on the black card around the soft suede.  Once I had stamped the sentiment from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes I thought that something was missing so I added the buttons which I feel go well on this card.

I've got to pull my finger out as I need another 7 cards for the weekend as its my sisters birthday on Sunday and my youngests on Monday and I've been tasked to make all the cards from us all...the joy...lol.  So I'll be back soon to show you what I've done.

Hello everyone,

What a scorching day we're having, the English weather goes from one extreme to the other.  Still best make the most of it as not sure how long its here to stay...lol. Earlier in the week Nikki, who only has 23 days to go before baby is born, asked if we would take the cotbed and chest of drawers down as they have finished painting the nursery.  She also asked if we would like to have lunch.  Great, I thought, no cooking Sunday lunch for a change....wrong.  She is so flustered in this heat it took her all her time to go up the stairs so I ended up doing it with a little supervision from madam...haha.  Still it was very tasty.

Well it was brother-in-laws birthday on Friday and I made this card for mum to give to him. 

Its using the Sail Away stamp from the mini, which Victoria kindly loaned me, and the colour scheme is Real Red, Whisper White and Not Quite Navy. The buttons are from the subtles collection and the sentiment from Curly Cute.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs
