Merry Christmas.....

.....at Cards for Men.  That's the theme this time so I hope we'll see lots of entries.  The prize is 3 digi images from Scribbled Kidz, which some of you may know is close to my heart.  Here's my DT card which uses Dear Santa.  I've coloured it using my promarkers.  The designer paper is from my stash and is a Basic Grey design.  The backing card is from Stampin Up, the ribbon form my stash and the sentiment a magazine freebie.

Why not pop over to the main challenge post and see what the rest of the team came up with.

Cards for Men Challenge 1

So here we are in 2011!  Happy New Year to you all.  Here's my card for the latest challenge over at Cards for Men which is being sponsored by the wonderful 'Stamping Boutique'.  The prize is 5 digi stamps and you'll find out all about this brilliant shop and get some more ideas from the main post over at Cards for Men.

For my card I used two images from The Stamping Boutique - Prince Gael and Scroll Journal.  Prince Gael actually comes on a castle background, but I wanted him on his own for this card.  I've used the scroll (in a bigger form) on the inside as well.  That's the versatility of  digital images.  The base card is Bazill Basics and the Design Papers are just oddments out of my stash.  The only one I know for sure is the slate graph paper which is from Basic Grey - Origins.  I've coloured the image with my Promarkers.  I got a few new ones over Christmas so think I should be ok for a while now, lol.

I'm going to enter this into the following challenges:

Digi Doodle Shop's Best - Anything Goes

Cards for Men Challenge - No. 15

This week over on Cards for Men we have a recipe challenge for you.  You must use 1 image, 2 papers and 3 embellishments.  Easy huh?

I used Popcorn Bear Men's CD to make my card and it was quite a quick and easy card to put together.  I printed out an image sheet and trimmed close to my main image.  The sheet still has about a dozen images on it (of differing sizes) so plenty of scope for more cards.  I also printed out two backing papers.  The other ingredients are Bazzill Basics card for the base card and for layering together with three brads from Basic Grey (Archaic, I think).

I hope you like my card.  Please take a look over at Cards for Men to see the rest of the DT cards and for details of the challenge.  I'd love to see your entries.

Cards for Men Challenge - No. 13

 The challenge this time on Cards for Men is to follow a sketch.  The sponsor of our challenge is the wonderful Meljen's Designs and she kindly gave us some images to play with.  I've coloured my image with Prismacolours and the rest of the card is Basic Grey Archaic range.

Please pop over to Cards for Men and join in.  We love to see your creations.
