Brrrrr ..........

My goodness, how cold is it in the UK at the moment, perfect weather for a nice cup of tea and a bit of crafting.
We had some fantastic entries for out last challenge at Here Come The Boys . Well done to our winner and top 3.
This fortnight's challenge is a Bingo Board, you can find the board at Here Come The Boys, you can use any line across, line down, diagonal or the four corners to make your card and it must be for a male.
I suppose the weather might have influenced my card for this challenge, it was snowing as I was making it and after making wintery cards for the last couple of months, I thought something summery would be nice for a change.
Here it is :



I have used Edwin with starfish this time, and my line is buttons, twine and image. I have created my own background of clouds for this card and continued that on my topper. This was edged with Salty Ocean distress ink. Again, I have coloured Edwin with my pencils.



I then tied a couple of buttons through my twine and a little tag sentiment to finish my card.


Thank you for popping by, I would love to know you have been and good luck with the challenge.
Hugs

Happy New Year to all..........

I would like to start by wishing everyone a very Happy, Healthy and prosperous New Year, I can't believe it is 6th January already. I had a few resolutions but sadly they have fallen by the wayside already. I always have good intentions at the beginning when I am not at work, but as soon as I go back, those old habits just creep right back in !!!

Anyway, let's get back to business, WOW, so many entries for the Here Come The Boys, well done to the winner and top 6. Also, well done to Lindy Lou, you won the Candy.

This fortnights challenge is a sketch challenge, this can be found here , this is what I came up with, I have used a Wellington bear stamp and backing papers from the Docrafts range, I love using these for male cards.





I distress inked around the edges, (Santa bought me lots of D.I's and other crafty stash) mat and layered all my squares and added some twine and a charm I found while tidying my desk. I hope you get what I mean.

Sorry for the briefness, of the post, gotta go shopping ready for school going back ,check the uniform is ironed and the usual mum stuff.

Take care everyone
Hugs
