On or at The Ball - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's been a while I know but lots going on with the boys back at school.  In fact we were out late at a school event last night.

The Daring Cardmakers have a fun challenge this week using a ball on your card or going to the ball!  I just happened to have a football themed order to make so this worked out very well for me!

I used a decoupage football set from Katy Sue Designs but didn't decoupage the main picture.  You can see the decoupage on the smaller square though.

I added patterned paper to brighten it up and some very old Kanban sentiments to finish.

You can join in and see more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE.

Have a lovely weekend,

Fun & Games - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

It's getting a little chillier now and definitely darker in the mornings going to school.  

The Daring Cardmakers have a Fun & Games themed challenge and luckily I had not 1 but 2 football themed commissions and I am sharing this one.

It was made with a mixture of new and old products from my stash (mostly old)!  I hadn't made a football themed card in ages so it was fun to do.

You can see lots more inspiration from the rest of the Design Team HERE and you'll see lots of variations on the theme.

Have a lovely weekend and see you again next week,

Oh Man! - Daring Cardmakers DT

Happy Friday!

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!
