 Have you joined in yet? 

As always its everyone's favourite Anything goes. 

This weeks card was one I made recently for my son's birthday.  I was really stumped thinking about what I was going to put on his card.  I then just thought about all the things he likes.. Well that lead me to gathering up all these stamps that I had of the things he liked.  Darts, beer, games on the Xbox and then the tyres well that's for the 4 wheel driving.. I just stamped all the related stamps on to a sheet of white cardstock and made my own background paper.  I then stamped the tires going over the top, backing it with the black cardstock and popped that up with dimension pop dots. He liked the card, I find cards for men the hardest to make. All the stamps where free ones I had from stamping magazines.  The Happy Birthday was from Stampin'up.

I am going to enter this at the following,

Well 2 weeks has rolled around and its time for a new challenge at Challenges 4 Everybody This week we are sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  Have you joined in yet? As always its everyone's favourite Anything goes. 

This week I made a card using a stamp set that I brought from the paper crafting expo I went too.. Its from Design Objectives and just knew that it was going to be perfect for those cards that we make for the men in our lives.. It has all the essential male elements gears, pocket watch, globe of the world and even the old fashioned telephone.. I popped the brads on to look a little like nails and layered with lots of chocolate chip paper..

Challenges 4 Everybody #18 DT

We have a wonderful brand new sponsor this week at Challenges 4 Everybody its Lacy Sunshine Stamps.  First place gets a $20 gift voucher to spend at Lacy sunshine stamps and second place gets to choose 2 digis.. What wonderful prizes as its chosen by random generator everyone has a equal chance of winning. As always its anything goes, so come on and join in on the fun.

I chose this beautiful pre colored image by Heather Valatin isn't she just adorable.  The image is called Birthday Cake Girl and I had a lot of fun playing with this image that was so different for me to work with..  I so loved the bright colors and I chose this lovely Mpress embossing folder for the background as I really liked how it had spots and splashes, so that's when I decided to make a square card.  I love brads and ribbon  and this ribbon that I found in my stash I thought matched the colors so well.

I would like to say a big welcome to a new follower to my blog Evalila.. Welcome and thanks to everyone for all the wonderful comments I have been receiving on my blog. I really appreciate the time it takes.

Have a great day

Challenges 4 Everybody #17 DT

Well its time for a new challenge over at Challenges 4 Everybody We have as our sponsor this week  Bugaboo stamps  If you link up with your entry and you are randomly picked, you get to pick 7 free digis of your choice. So come on and join in the fun as always, its Anything goes..

This week I chose to make an easel card.. I had not made one of these for a while and so like the way they look opened up.. I had a hard choice again with all the lovely Bugaboo images but kept coming back to this Butterfly Silhouette I used some new die cuts for the circles so that was fun to see how they looked.. I cut the butterflies wings out with a craft knife but left the centre attached.. Then I lifted the wings so it looks like it is sitting on there about to take off. Well that's what I was going for, added some sparkle with some stickles.  The wording stamp is one from Kaszass its a favourite of mine so pretty.. The swirl is from Tim Holtz a movers and shapers die. Happy birthday stamp and punch are both Stampin'up.

Saying a big HI and welcome to 2 new followers to my blog Mekofosho and Linda.
