Good morning again to all, can't believe it's been two weeks already since my last blog, hopefully the weather is getting better for everybody. What a washout it has been eh?

Well done to everybody who entered the Tag challenge, loads of great entries. Congratulations to the winner, Sam Whisper No 4, fantastic entry.

 So who's up for another challenge from the Here Come The Boys blog, the theme for this fortnight's challenge is Jungle. 


I have used Jungle Edwin this time 

The leaves are cut with a Cheery Lynn die from scraps in my stash

Edwin has been coloured with copics, but like an idiot I have since tidied my craft room and haven't noted them for you. My cloud background was done from a brilliant tutorial which can be found here by the talented Hazel

These banners are also cut from my stash and are very easy to do but so effective for a boys card

Anyway, thanks for popping by, please leave a comment as I love to know you have been and good luck in the Jungle challenge
Luv & Hugs

A first time for everything!

Good morning and thank you for taking the time to visit me in my little crafty corner. It has certainly been a week of firsts for me , I won my first challenge, I am doing my first design team card and this is my first ever blog post. Earlier this week I was given the fab opportunity to have a Guest Designer spot with Here Come The Boys, my first ever. Once I had gotten over the OMG's and the Aaaargh what am I gonna do?'s, I scuttled up to my little craft room and here's what I came up with. The challenge this time is to create a male card with a tag on it. I would love to know you stopped by, so please leave a comment and good luck with the challenge

Luv & hugs

I don't really know where the inspiration for this card came from, what I do know is when I was making it, the weather was doing what it does best ................... raining, so this card has a Autumnal feel even though we are in July. 

I have used my favourite boy on my tag, Edwin with Stolen Heart, although the heart  is missing. The background paper was from my stash. I cut the fence from a Cheery Lynn die and the tree is a Memory box die. The leaves across the top are from a  Spellbinders die set, Floral Flourishes.

Edwin is coloured with Copic markers
