Cards for Men challenge....

Morning,
Well that's another weekend gone to quickly...Got a busy week this week,flying out in a minute as I have to be at my Mum & Dad's soon,they have some new chairs being delivered another thing that comes with old age they can't get up out of the chairs they have so we have the super duper ones coming to make it easier...Hairdressers tomorrow,Wednesday is a busy day,Thursday a funeral and Friday Doctors,not much time for crafting but keeping my fingers crossed I might find time,I miss my me time so much....
Anyway today it's time for a new challenge over at Cards for Men and this time we have the theme of......

"Make us Laugh"....

We also have a DT call as well.... We're looking for 2-4 new team members to join us from November.  You need to be able to make a card each fortnight (using sponsor images if we get them), comment on entries on a rota basis and generally just join in our happy team.  Making Cards for Men each time is not always easy, but the challenge is rewarding and you end up with a great stockpile of cards for those unexpected occasions.  If you're interested, then enter the challenge and put 'DT' after your name.  Good Luck.

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



HI! I am Heather, a christian, homeschooling mommy of two. I started cardmaking in 2007 and have not been able to stop! 
I love creating with pretty papers, ribbons and sparkle. I am also the artist and owner of my own rubber stamp and digi shop: Fresh Brewed Designs. Fresh Brewed designs is an online shop that opened in November 2010 selling a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps as well as specializes in many coffee themed images. It started with a dream and with the prodding of a very supportive husband, family and friends, with a lot of help and a lot of headaches:) and a lot of lessons and prayers turned into something bigger.
Fresh Brewed Designs has become a place to share, create, laugh and build lasting friendships.
Our motto is:
Fresh Brewed Designs... where creativity is brewed fresh daily.
We always have a pot brewing, so stop by and join us for a cuppa whenever you want!!!


Prize: 3 digi images of choice

The team were given some images to play with so here's my card......


I got Candy Corn Monster to play with,he's coloured with promarkers and cut out with my nesties....The card,ribbon and glass gems are from my stash...The paper is also from my stash and is by MME......


I've used some Go-Kreate dies to cut the two mats,for the spotty paper.....The sentiment is a stamp that I've had for ages,don't know who it's by sorry.....
Please go and take a look at the fabulous cards the rest of the team have made,and checkout the challenge,also don't forget the DT call...
