Cards for Men challenge....

Morning Everyone,
Hope you've all had a great weekend,I've had a busy last few days....Took my Mum for Doctors appointments,she's now got another type of tablet to add to her collection,we are up to 16 a day now,hopefully this last one will help as well,then Hubby and myself cut a hedge at their house on Saturday,I couldn't do it on my own during the week and then yesterday being Father's Day had everyone to me for lunch,so time for a rest today..
.Anyway we have a new challenge over at Cards for Men and we have the theme of....

STARS...

We are sponsored for this challenge by.....



  I'm Tracey Malnofski, the artist and owner of The Stamping Boutique. My team and I are very happy to sponsor Cards for Men. My store has been open since September 2009.I am currently a stamp artist for UnityStampCo. and I've worked for InStyleStamps, Squigglefly, and TheDigiShack in the past. I'm a professional artist and an active member of the Artist' Guild in my community. I have quite a busy household with a husband, 3 teenagers, 5 mini-dachshunds and an Appaloosa mare. It's noisy, but I love them all. I'm truly blessed.


Here's my card........


I've coloured my image wit polychromos pencils blended with sansador then I've used my nesties to cut it out and the scalloped mat ....I've used a star embossing folder for the red card..the DP is from Magenta....I've used my woodware funky star punches for the stars.....I think my computer must have the Monday morning gremlins as I can't find the second picture of my card,I know it's in there somewhere,when I do find it I'll edit the post...The button's,gems and twine are from my stash..The sentiment is from the LOTV set....
Right off to do some jobs at Mum and Dad's,then I'm hoping to catch up with my comments's have done all my DT commenting so just my one's to do....
Have a great day..Take care....

One of these days I should invest in the star embossing folder. I've seen so many great cards that used it.

Family celebrations like birthdays, Mother and Father's days, etc make you think more about all your family. How are your cousins (?) that were in the hospital for cancer and stroke? I haven't seen an update for quite a while.
