Over at <a href="https://cardz4guyz.blogspot.com/">Cardz4guyz</a> today we are looking for 'no ball sports'. This is such a good theme for the guyz in your life so I'm expecting a large number of entrants (that means you). This one was so easy for me as my nephew, Charlie, is now old enough to be allowed his first fight. He's been training as a boxer since he was very young. We aren't keen on the idea of him fighting to be honest, but the training keeps him fit and disciplined. It also helped with his appalling eating habits as diet is very important to his fitness. He literally ate nothing but plain chicken and pasta, no sauce, before.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibjTodzjCP3DwVMndMDnWZ2eBJ4So3YyQsafbBUXLL0V1q3vVl294cLISiLBxG0CZYmaksGAARUwXm_KphaSFXjCWg3pLLhd119AtyXvczAnXK21Abs1SmC8mFeYOg1Kvgwtn_b4RGSdRAwZmS9BK_iJyck1hF-ka3EgZC4uFjbM2k8pzBx7vMJMZjTHfc/s563/ap24006.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="392" data-original-width="563" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibjTodzjCP3DwVMndMDnWZ2eBJ4So3YyQsafbBUXLL0V1q3vVl294cLISiLBxG0CZYmaksGAARUwXm_KphaSFXjCWg3pLLhd119AtyXvczAnXK21Abs1SmC8mFeYOg1Kvgwtn_b4RGSdRAwZmS9BK_iJyck1hF-ka3EgZC4uFjbM2k8pzBx7vMJMZjTHfc/w574-h400/ap24006.jpg" width="574" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although we are trying to be supportive of him as he loves the sport, we were a bit relieved when his first opponent backed out of a match.

At <a href="https://sparklesforumchallenges.blogspot.com/">Sparkles Monthly Challenge</a> we have the theme of 'New'. Think new baby, new job, new home etc. Last year I bought a lovely set of digital stamps from Rachel Vass Designs on Etsy (her shop only has one item in it at the moment so I think she may be taking a break). My set was perfect for new home cards and I've made several. Well, now I've made another.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7DjKtSgxxaogdsVECNZGcfFI69E4vcim8NSgUNHr7AyR52vbRgU1jj0lL-gHSMN5_5kRT07TXrdEqL6C931cQQmAwA7nb7dt0lFYZ2CyJwk2GDgcvU06a7VIrvewQEWpC1k2yQKmhvHJOVNtCp3CAAHeC5jPJ81ZylT6dKMnLOb4KL57QcQzsG3qaRNh/s752/ap24005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="564" height="685" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW7DjKtSgxxaogdsVECNZGcfFI69E4vcim8NSgUNHr7AyR52vbRgU1jj0lL-gHSMN5_5kRT07TXrdEqL6C931cQQmAwA7nb7dt0lFYZ2CyJwk2GDgcvU06a7VIrvewQEWpC1k2yQKmhvHJOVNtCp3CAAHeC5jPJ81ZylT6dKMnLOb4KL57QcQzsG3qaRNh/w514-h685/ap24005.jpg" width="514" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I love the simplicity of the design and just added a little colour and a heart brad.

Not exactly new but definitely unused so new in a way. Here's what I created with it.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0AFAukQvwfUFAhp2MfYtPSHWJ5rKaILZYauSgV9RjzaiMXtikWrYlqrBnT76aO1eUbS3Abe92lW4W1iRNF9U7vqjXr8qSIqi3WA4S28kielKCXFD90VyUHQ8ZId-NrJgYRgglKQ_hjvWauoDb1aK5FIAEMqZPqfOxwnMCLskczI4TVciMp1SpqqE5_Kl/s736/ap24002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="683" data-original-width="736" height="502" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN0AFAukQvwfUFAhp2MfYtPSHWJ5rKaILZYauSgV9RjzaiMXtikWrYlqrBnT76aO1eUbS3Abe92lW4W1iRNF9U7vqjXr8qSIqi3WA4S28kielKCXFD90VyUHQ8ZId-NrJgYRgglKQ_hjvWauoDb1aK5FIAEMqZPqfOxwnMCLskczI4TVciMp1SpqqE5_Kl/w541-h502/ap24002.jpg" width="541" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I already had the sentiment printed out. I think it came from Baer Designs on Etsy but I'm not sure (apologies if I've got that wrong). I just added a die cut and some card candy to finish it off. It's a pity this image has a tea pot on. If it was a coffee pot it would be ideal for my coffee addict husband.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ok, let's see all your new stuff.

Really...we've just had Christmas<p> <span style="font-size: large;">Morning all. Over at <a href="https://cardz4galz.blogspot.com/">Cardz4galz</a> we are looking for a 'DL or Slimline with flowers' card. As we've just had Christmas and we're still eating up the goodies in the fridge this is bound to be the only thing slimline around here. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ4oWNjMpi33kt5xzHTZLJxeTbF1yTYybSRKT7NsH2diV-9BocrM8xRft8kKDAQFsvwvwdZhxdPTaTS9dR-D0OnDZcb-EzbgJmA9UnTjj8_n6Gk2MYa5ITeWHRT6RGZyrHYVQDYO7awDbpfifzn0KfJxGRwJcxDV04XbzMteZHNvV1W8uQXg7TCoF2RwQ/s734/ap23069.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="359" data-original-width="734" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGQ4oWNjMpi33kt5xzHTZLJxeTbF1yTYybSRKT7NsH2diV-9BocrM8xRft8kKDAQFsvwvwdZhxdPTaTS9dR-D0OnDZcb-EzbgJmA9UnTjj8_n6Gk2MYa5ITeWHRT6RGZyrHYVQDYO7awDbpfifzn0KfJxGRwJcxDV04XbzMteZHNvV1W8uQXg7TCoF2RwQ/w661-h324/ap23069.jpg" width="661" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">I used some pretty paper and pearlised card for my project and chose a stamp that looked similar to the paper. I stamped onto some spotty paper and ink blended them before I cut them out. I did add a little sparkle pen and some gems to finish them off.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all had a good festive season and are ready to join in the fun.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for reading.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Love Dawn x</span></p>Dawn Phillipshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15780898356638776637noreply@blogger.com1
