Cards for Men challenge....

I still say one of you is taking my weekend,because I'm sure I'm not getting one.....Today is my daughter's 16th Birthday she's all grown up now and I can't believe where the time has gone,yesterday was lovely as it seemed to be open house for us with friends and family dropping in with pressies for her for today......Anyway enough whittering from me,today is time for a new challenge over at Cards for Men and our theme is......

BOYS & TOYS......

We are sponsored this time by....




"I'm a SAHM with three young children. I trained in Textile Design at the Glasgw School of Art and I love all things handmade, but especially papercrafts.  I love to doodle ... and my doodles are available to purchase as digital images through Stitchy Bear Stamps" 


Prize:  3 digi stamps


The team were lucky to get some images to use and for my card I've used "Rafe Robot"...he's coloured with promarkers.....


The paper is both sides of a piece of October Afternoon paper....The card,screw brads and ribbon are all from my stash.....


I've used a woodware punch for my sentiment tag and a Happy Birthday stamp from a  Woodware set.....
The corrugated card is a piece from a box and I've used an EK success punch for the edge of the red card....I've also done some faux stitching around the edges....


Just a little peek of the inside..

Right that's me done off to town to get some bits for dinner tonight,Katy has some friends coming and then they are going out next weekend to celebrate properly......
Please checkout the rest of the teams fabulous cards...
