For The Boys

Good morning everyone and Happy Wednesday! Today sees the start of a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme this week is "FOR THE BOYS" so we want to see your creations for the men/boys in your life.  I don't know about you but I can sometimes struggle with male cards as it means you have to hold off the embellishments really no flowers, glitter or bling - sigh! So I decided to go for a get well card and I must say I loved colouring up this cute little guy!


Items Used

Image:  Paper Shelter Dr. Pepe L'Souris available here
Markers: Copics
Papers: Bazzill Basics Red Devil
Dies: SB Squares and Scallop, SB Ribbon Banner, Cheery Lynn Expandable Tiny Borders, Dienamics Notebook Edge
Embellishments: Fired Brick DI, Glossy Accents

I'm sure he'd fix you up in no time at all lol! The sentiment is computer generated and I was so pleased that I actually managed to figure out how to curve writing so it would go in the banner die! I have written the instructions down so I don't forget next time! The prize for the lucky winner is:


You don't have to use a Paper Shelter image to enter but if you do then you would win a $30 voucher if you were the lucky winner, for other images the prize would be 3 Paper Shelter images of your choice.  Please go over to The Paper Shelter challenge and see what the rest of the fabulous Design Team have done!

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Ladybug, Crafts Ink - Red and White
Cards for Men - Anything Goes
Paper Makeup Stamps - Animal Friends
Eureka Stamps - Animal Catwalk
Love to Scrap - Cut it Out (Die Cuts/Punches)
Aud Sentiments - For a Guy
Charisma Cardz - Flag Colours (Trinidad and Tobago - went there on our cruise - yummy!)

Well that's all for me today! Hope you all have a good day, thank you so much for coming by! Take care xx

    Hi Susan, the card is brilliant, what a great image. I struggle with male cards too, often feel like I should make loads to get them into my system and then I might find them easier.

    Hey Sugar!! You always have the best papers and do dads to go with your designs. Love the two kinds of paper together with the loop-d-loops on the side. Your card should make anyone smile!

    Good Morning Susan,
    A far better buy than one of those "little" sewing machines would be to wait till Lidl or Aldi have their bargain "normal" sized machine in.
    I have a very big Husgvarna machine which I love but it is very heavy.
    My sister bought one from Lidl for £59.99 and it is great.
    Happy Crafting
