Let's go on an Adventure

 Morning all.  I hope you are all well and looking forward to a new 'Cardz4guyz theme.  We couldn't get more perfect for the men this month with 'Epic Adventure' for a subject.  I have some more fabulous paper scavenged by Howard from the recycling shed.  I couldn't believe my luck with this set as I knew this challenge was coming up.

I won't be short of ideas for the fellas for a while.  I think the papers are Stamperia.  They are certainly fun and full of ideas for adventures.

Please pop over and join the fun.

Is it still snowing where you are.

 Well, we've had some very seasonal weather this week.  The water in the marina is frozen and the ducks are walking.  We've also had some snow - much to the delight of our dog, Ava.  She loves it and reverts to a puppy.  I'm not so keen.  I prefer paper snowflakes, which is good as that's just the theme of this months challenge over at Sparkles Monthly.

I'm so pleased with how this one turned out.  The pink and silver glitter card looks lovely layered together.

Patterned Paper - You mean I have to break into my stash!

 Morning all.  Today we have the 1st Make My Monday challenge of the year.  We have the challenge 'Use Patterned Paper'.  If you are anything like me you will have more paper than you can use in a lifetime.  I chose to use some of the paper that Howard brought for me from the re-cycling shed. It's a Heartfelt Creations pad and has some lovely toppers too.

I did use scraps from my previous card but I broke into a new sheet as well.  I may have to go for a lie down now.  Breaking into a new sheet! I must be mad.

Thanks for reading.

Let's be Square

 Morning all.  It's my theme over at The Alphabet Challenge and I've picked 'S for Square'.  You can make a square card or project or use squares on it.  I'm pleased with mine as I was able to use some of my scraps again.

I used part of an old Memory Box die for this one.  I have done something similar using textured card behind the die cut panels and put them down the centre of a DL card.  It works well either way.

Please join in the fun so I can visit and leave comments on your creations.

In the country

 Morning all.  For the first Cardz4galz challenge of the year we would like a 'country scape' on your projects please. I had a dig through some ancient decoupage papers and found a lovely country cottage garden.  I've framed it using some of the pretty papers I was given recently.  We have a recycling shed on the Marina and Howard, a fellow boater, found these papers in the shed and picked them up for me.  Bless him.

I hope you like what I've done for this challenge.  Please join in the fun so I can see your inspiration.

Thanks for reading.

Getting ready for Christmas

 Happy New Year to you all.  I hope 2025 was happy and healthy for you and I hope 2026 will be more so.  So, for the first challenge of the new year we start with next years Christmas Cards. Over at Sparkles Christmas Challenge we have 'Animal and Tree' as a theme for you this month.  I dug out some old favourite dies for this one.

I'm not making any resolutions but I do hope to use up some of my scraps this year.  I'm please that this one has been made purely from my scrap drawer. I dobbed some texture paste on the trees to make it look like snow and my stag must have been sniffing as he's got some on his nose.
