How could I forget the Guyz

 Sorry this is late.  Now Cardz4guyz is monthly I have to remember what date it's on.  This month we are looking for 'CAS' projects for the Guyz in your life.  I bought a fabulous set of clipart from Etsy for Patrick's birthday this year and I've used some of the images for this card as well.

I think the images from Tysartwork are brilliant for young males.  Most of my other stuff is snarky older men.  Sorry the picture isn't brilliant.  The camera on my phone is useless and keeps crashing.  I have to go with whatever it takes first.

Watch the Birdie

 Morning all.  I was thrilled with all the fabulous entries on my last choice for Make My Monday .  I hope we get as many entries for the new challenge of 'Birds and/or Eggs'.  I'm avoiding the subject of birds eggs at the moment.  There are 4 separate nesting geese on the little island next to our boat.  The arguements between them are driving us mad.  They keep trying to chase each other off.  I have gone for a species that I haven't seen around here - although I've heard a couple.

You may have noticed I'm trying to use up the scraps of this paper.  Whilst I had it out for the pastel challenge I made this card.    I'm much happier with this one.

Zzzzz!

 Morning all.  The end of another turn around the alphabet means we are up to 'Z for Zoology' at The Alphabet Challenge.  I have a fabulous set of Sporting Animal clipart from Pastel Kiddie on Etsy and could have pick any of them.  Here's the one I did chose:

I honestly think he makes a perfect rugby player.  I was so pleased with how he turned out.

Drip, drip, drop ...

 ...Little April Showers.  That's exactly what we are looking for on this weeks Cardz4galz blog.  We aren't just getting april showers at the moment.  We have had, over the last few days, early morning fog, frost, hail, high winds and (occasionally) a bit of sunshine.  

Here's my effort for the challenge.  I picked up some cute weather clipart from Digiwhimsies on Etsy and totally fell for this cute guy.

I am using a random number generator and a set of sketches to give me inspiration at the moment and this one turned out so well.  It's really helped my productivity and I'm getting down my scrap pile at the same time.

Please show us your 'April Shower' projects.

Thanks for reading.

Pastel bunnies

 Morning all.  It's time for the new monthly theme for Sparkles Monthly.  We would like 'Pastel Colours and Rabbits' please.  We are also looking for new DT members so, if you've ever thought of giving it a go, please let us know.  We are a friendly bunch and can help you through the process if you have never done it before.

It turns out I have very few pastel coloured papers.  I managed to find some scraps with soft shades of yellow and pink but not a lot else. I have got an animal die set that does make a rabbit though.  What do you think.

I wish the papers had been prettier but I do like the design.

Monotone Monday

 Morning all.  I hope you all had a better Easter than I did.  Whilst everyone else was eating their body weight in chocolate I was in bed with a stomach bug, hench Monday's blog now being Tuesday's blog.  I am, for now, upright and dressed. #Little Wins

OK, Make My Monday is my choice of theme this time.  I would like 'Monotone' projects please.  Here's mine.

I did cheat a bit with the flower centres but I hadn't any teal ones.

Please pop over and leave me something to comment on.

Thanks for reading.

More flowers

 OK, I have more flowers for you today, although not spring ones.  Over at The Alphabet Challenge we are at 'Y for Yellow Flowers'.  I've gone for some sunny yellow flowers in a basket.

I've used these flowers lots in a variety of colours but I've never made up the basket before.  I'm so pleased with how it came out.  I'd be so happy if I received a basket of flowers like these.

Thanks for reading.
