Welcome back to Quirky for another challenge. We had some great entries for our last challenge, I think it was very popular and our top three are published in the post below this one. I hope you like the new challenge as much.
The challenge for March is Quirky Masculine with ribbon or twine, let's see cards for a man or boy, cards with a digi of a man on them, and don't forget that ribbon or twine MUST be included if you want a chance of being in the top three!
We have three wonderful sponsors for this challenge and they are:
Who are providing our first place winner with a £10 voucher to spend on gorgeous ribbons.
and finally a new sponsor for this year, we would like to welcome the very Quirky:
Now some inspiration from the Design Team:
Pat using "akv boy sitter with dog" from Bugaboo on a digital birthday card. Her ribbon is tied ito bows and adorn the dog bones along the bottom.
Pat using Math Geek from SLS Lines on another birthday card. The inside reads: You can't be 29 AGAIN!! Ribbon is use as a strip behind her sentiment.

As you know a couple of our Design Team members have had to leave us already, and the rest are suffering from ailments but we have recruited a new team mate and we want to give a big welcome to Kelly Patricia! Unfortunately Kelly has dislocated her wrist (is Quirky cursed?) so will be unable to make anything this month, but you can look forward to seeing her work next month!
Kelly will introduce herself properly to you soon!
We are still looking for at least one person to join us on the Quirky side! If you think it could be you please contact me for details.
Now for some inspiration, first of all from our Guest Designers:
Hi, my name is Beate alias Stempelomi . I’m an “over fifty” Mum of 3 grown-up children, wife of a lovely husband and dog owner of 2 wonderful dogs. We live all together in our house in the west of Germany near the state border to the Netherlands. Since 2005, my hobby is to make/stamp cards and I love it! I’m proud to be a Guest Designer in this "Quirkycrafts challenge" and wish you good luck! Enjoy it! Hugs, Beate
For my card I used the Bugaboo stamp from my stock Jesse Bear Angel - stars.
Thank you Beate, I love your baby boy card!
Rae Ann used the very funny Gus Birthday - optional digi from Bugaboo, and used twine on her lovely card.

Phew, here at last. Sorry I'm late - I've had a lot to do.
This fierce chap caught my eye, and I keep thinking he is a Viking and I never noticed he was wearing modern boots until I got colouring! Anyway he isn't a Viking, so that is alright then! He is from SLS Lines and is a Dwarf Axe Warrior! My silver and gold ribbon was from one of the bargain £1 bags from Crafty Ribbons, I thought it picked out the gold and silver from the image (was still thinking Vikings and Viking gold I have to admit).
I hope to sneak back in with my Bugaboo project later on.
The ribbon essential is holding the metal skull charm on. The treasure map
was downloaded from Google and labeled for Reuse which is why I have used it.
The "Happy Birthday" sentiment, skull & backing card behind with the "ocean waves" on it are all from my own stash. I coloured the digi with Harmony alcoholic marker pens. I will be using this fun digi again for my grandsons/friends sons cards as its a wonderful image to colour and reminds me of Captain Pugwash!! (Of which some people will remember from the 1970's childrens tv shows).
and
who reminds me of both of my grandsons, but mainly the eldest one as he sits in a chair to play but the youngest one sits on the floor. Anyway, I used both a lace ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and pieces of unthreaded hessian from my own stash.
The digi, is amazing for any playstation/xbox lads birthday cards. I staged it on my card to be in his bedroom on the console, colouring with Harmony marker pens & Sakura Gelly Roll Metallic pens. Everything else on the card is from my own stash,inc the base card from Papermill Direct.
