Off on your travels?

It's time for another challenge at Cards for Men and this time the theme is 'Transport'.  We are sponsored by Meljen's Designs and I got to work with Skiing Mouse which was really fun.

I've coloured the image with Promarkers.  The backing card and ink are Stampin Up (Baja Breeze) and the paper is from a new paper pad from Fancy Pants called Little Sport.

I hope you like my card and that you are encouraged to join in our challenge.  Hop on over to the main post where you'll find all the details together with more ideas from my team mates.

Atishoo!

This poor little chap from Meljens Designs needs to get well soon.

I've coloured him with my Promarkers.  The paper is from my stash, card candi from Craftwork Cards and cardstock from Stampin Up.

Animal Magic at Cards for Men

My card for the latest challenge at Cards for Men is for the birth of a baby boy.  The sentiment turned out a bit light to read well - it says "tiny yawns, sleepy sighs, nursery rhymes & lullabies".   The image is Cuddle Dragon from Meljen's Designs which I thought went really well with the sentiment.  The backing paper is from Stampin Up as is the twine.  The prize over at Cards for Men is 4 digi stamps of your choice so why not pop over and join in.  You'll get to see some great ideas from the rest of the team.

A new challenge starts today....

Well I have some great news!  There's a new challenge blog starting today which is dedicated to digistamps, Digi Galore, and I'm part of the Design Team.  The theme for the first challenge is 'Back to School' and here is my card.  I have used 'Easy as 123' which was a freebie from Meljens Designs.  The background papers are from my stash and I've coloured the image with Prismacolours.

Please pop over and join in with the first challenge at Digi Galore.  You'll find lots of fabulous ideas from my teammates.

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

'Let's Party' over at Cards for Men

Here's my DT card for the second challenge (this year) over at Cards for Men.  The theme is Let's Party and this image from our sponsor, Meljen's Designs, says it all.  If you haven't visited Meljen's before, please pop over there now.  You won't be disappointed.

The main image is coloured with Prismacolours and blended with Sansador.  I've made an envelope-type card with a pull out message at the side.  I used Bazzill Basics (Berrylicious) for the base card and for the matting.  The design paper is Dovecraft - Birthday which I must have had for about two years and never used.  I can't believe it!  I've made a pull-out tag which you can see in the picture at the bottom of the post.  Again I've used my Prismas to colour in.  The Ribbon is a fab one from Crafty Ribbons.  I think this will really suit a young boy for a birthday (I might keep it for my youngest's birthday in March - he'll be 3!)

Pop over to the main post where you'll find out more about our wonderful sponsor and get to see more ideas from the rest of the Design Team.
