Hobbies or Pastimes at Cardz 4 Guyz

I chose the theme for this week's challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz, which is Hobbies or Pastimes, please pop over to see the wonderful cards made by the Design Team. I know many will think firstly of sport related hobbies or pastimes, but I think this is an opportunity to share the less commented upon interests. As an example I have made a folded card showing Bird Watching or as it is known - Twitching. The papers and image are from The Great Outdoors which is a whimsical CD from The Card Hut/ Card Creations Plus. I hope you enjoy the theme and can find something relevant for a man or boy in your life. 

Zentangle It!

This week at My Time To Craft (MTTC) we are challenging you to Zentangle It!. Now don't panic, as you will find looking at the blog, the Design Team are not all tanglers, so you need only attempt a small amount or you can even use a CD with Zentangles if you own one. The idea is to either allow you to demonstrate your tangling or to practice a new skill, it can be very relaxing and therapeutic.

I have kept my card simple not to detracat from the Woodware Camelia stamp which I have filled with tangles. Have fun, check out on You Tube, Pinterest or other media sources. 

B- is for Beautiful Babies

We are starting for the next two weeks with the letter B for Beauiful Babies at Alphabet Challenges.  

I have made a few baby cards recently all for boys so it's time for the girls this week. The adorable image is from LOTV called Cosy Pram. I used Promarkers to colour. The flowers, lace and ribbon added from my stash. The bunting is from the CD -  Halycon Days. I look forward to visiting all of your babies for our challenge. Have fun everyone. 

Anything but a Card

For the next two weeks at Ruby's Rainbow we have for our challenge Anything BUT a Card. I am so pleased that I have recently re-kindled my interest in scrapbooking. First please check out what the Design Team have made to inspire you. I have distressed my paper edges to add more interest. I added to embellish a few nautical stamped images, the ship, the seagulls on posts and in the top right corner an anchor. Have fun everyone, I look forward to visiting you.

Sailing

For the next week at Cardz 4 Guyz  our challenge, SAILING  was chosen by Joan, this is her first choice and she is excited and looking forward to seeing the creations to be entered. The Design Team as usual have presented a fabulous selection for your inspiration. We also have two wonderful Guest Designers for the month of March, so please do pop over and welcome them. For my card, I really had to use one of my newest purchases - the lovely Woodware sailing boat.  The papers are from a pad  in my stash, the boat was coloured with Promarkers. I coloured white card candi with a yellow Promarker. I have left space for a number to be added for a young child. Have fun. 

Going Green

It's the 1st of the month so here we are with the challenge for Sparkles Monthly Christmas Challenge, which for March is Going Green, two rules which are necessary, it must be a Christmas project and be predominately Green. Otherwise have fun and get yourself another Christmas card put aside. Please take a peek at the Design Team's inspiration. For my card, I have used dark green co-ordinations card for the background, striped red and Green paper. The image is one of my favourites from  Tall Tails form Katy Sue Designs, drawn by House of Zandra, coloured with Promarkers. Embellishments are Green mirri card die cut greeting, red and green flower, green card candy. Have fun everyone.

Mum's The Word

Hello again, for the next two weeks at Fantasy Stampers our challenge is Mum's the Word, we would like to see a suitable project to give for Mother's Day, or for a Special Lady in your life. We may no longer be fortunate to have our Mum's in our life but we will hopefully have a special lady we can share this day with. the Design Team have made some lovely designs for you to see.  For my card, I do like the combination of Kraft card and the colour blue. My background paper is left over from a previous challenge, it originated from a CD but I can no longer rememebr which. The stamped image is French Rose from Inkylicious, I love this stamp, it is so versatile. I coloured it with Promarkers. The butterfly is from Do -Crafts. I added lace, pearls, gems and glitter to embellish. Have fun, I look forward to visiting you.
