I did warn you that I'd be back so here I am! We've been so lucky with the weather this half term and I've been out and about with the boys making the most of it. In fact, I've taken some photos at the nature reserve near our house and have shared one later on in this post.
Before that I better tell you about the latest Daring Cardmakers challege. Kathy has trouble with male cards and wants to see your inspiration to help her! The only addition is that the card shouldn't be for a child.
I'm a fan of personalised cards (although I can't actually remember ever receiving one but that could be due to the fact that my name is rather long!) and I send them often as who doesnt like to see their name in print? This was a simple card for a football fan - not that all men like sports but this one happened to. You could of course substitute the football for something else that your repicient likes.
My favourite part of the card is the stamped sentiment using the Ranger Letter It Birthday set. I just love that scripty font and until I can write like that I'm happy to use this set! You'll be able to see a lot more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and I hope you'll join in and share your inspiration with us!
Here is the nature reserve with all the ducks! I used to take the boys regularly and as babies in the buggy and it would be a daily walk. The boys may be older but they still really enjoy going there.
This weekend I will be preparing for a demo at The Range in St Albans that opens next week so lots of beautiful papers are on my desk ready!
Have a wonderful weekend whatever you do!

A fab male card, love the font on the sentiment. I used to love taking my boys to feed the ducks - they are 48 and 44 now! lol

I love this those stamps are great x Jan
ReplyDeleteWhat I really love about this is that you could use the same kind of layout at add personalised elements to suit the recipient - a musical instrument/wine bottle/camera etc instead of the football for instance - such a great idea for a 'man' card, thank you!
