Finally another Card!


Ok ... before I show you all the cardage - yes I have actually got a card to share with you all!!! I wanna say sorry!! Boy has it been a long time since i posted on here, I wish that I could say that I have been crafting and just not found the time to blog, but truth be told, I just haven't found the energy to craft ... and even when Im not feeling too peaky I just haven't had the mojo. My lil bumpy has been playing up, for a while I was seriously worried about her .... yes ... its a girl - yay for all things pink and princessy!!!, but a few scans later and for now, I have no need to worry!!! - i dunno .... still in the womb and she a lil Diva already!!

Buuuut ... thats enough waffle about me ..... here is a card I made for my uncle for his birthday. I didnt really wanna make a card, but can you believe in my 'rather full' stash for cards I have built up not ONE of them was for a man or even a boy!! Eeeeeeeeeek - maybe its a good thing i got another lil pink one on the way after all!!! Soooo I HAD to make him a card, and I am really glad that I did ... I really enjoyed making it and it has reminded me just how much i do enjoy crafting!!


The lil cutie image is of course by Lili of the Valley and has been coloured in with copics, I have a few more male images I am gonna have to work my way through .... big stock of masculine cards coming up I think! I have used my scrummy Fiskars scallop border punch - love the simplicity of it - perfect for male cards. The papers are MME Stella Rose Hattie, and the stars are cut using MFT Die-namics Stacking Stars, I have been looking for a die or something to help me embellish my male cards and this lil beauty is perfect. Linked items are available from My Mums Craft Shop run by my dear friend Kitty. Its a fairly new online store but BOY has she filled it quickly ... there is serious lushness going on over there with reasonable prices and cheap p&p too .... go check it out!

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
LOTV - Punch it (use punches or die cuts)
2 Sisters - Furry Friends
Creative Belli - Animals

Hi Zoe...
Pleased to hear that you are well...Congrats on the girly news.
A lovely card as always...Yes my mens stash is pitiful too! But I just don't shift them...they sit in the basket for ages...I swear I have a card that's about 10 years old in there! Are you still doing Wild Rose Studio cards? I must send some off fairly soon...take care...hope you don't leave it so long next time...xxx
