Those tricky men that is!

Good morning blogland,

It's the first Saturday of the month (who would believe we are in June already!) and so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge and this month the challenge theme is 'All about the men or boys'.

As always we are a very easy going challenge - just follow the theme, don't backlink and a maximum entry of 3 per person.

This is my boy's card:


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Hopefully see you over at the challenge?

It's Summertime.....

 or is it?

Good morning blogland,

It's new challenge time over at Passion for Markers and the theme chosen this week by my Teamie Marie is 'Summertime'.  We are sponsored for this challenge by ColourofLove Digis with a lovely randomly drawn prize for one lucky winner.

As always to be in with a chance to win the prize we do ask that you follow the simple rules - use your markers (any brand), follow the theme and don't backlink.

Now even a few days ago this theme would have been very relevant - as most of the UK has been basking in an early heatwave - that broke for us today.  Currently it is pelting it down here in not so sunny Lincolnshire, so lets cheer ourselves up by looking at this nice summery card I made!


Supplies used:

Digital stamp:
ColourofLove - Rory's Summer Fun
coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:
Daisy Bucket Designs - Happy Thoughts

Dies:
un-branded stitched rectangle

Anything else:
spotty card to matt

And that's it folks - it was a lot of colouring for this digi image, so the actual card I kept it really simple and just layered onto a matt and done!

I definiately am not hoping that the overly hot weather comes back but I wouldn't mind a little less rain and a little more sun again!

Hope everyone everywhere has got the weather they enjoy - and that you all wander over to the challenge and, if colouring is your thing, pop an entry in! 

See you again soon,
Sarah
