Boys will be boys!

Hellloooooo!
 
Long time, no see!  I cannot begin to tell you how busy I am.  I am now fortunate to be doing work for Cardmaking and Papercraft, Making Cards and Crafts Beautiful magazines so the majority of what I've been making I can't share with you yet but I don't want you to think that I fell off the planet or anything!  As I have been snowed under I made the difficult decision to stand down from the La Pashe DT.  I have enjoyed my time with Jak and the other girlies on the DT but as I am now going back to work in September (boooooo) I decided I needed to trim back what I have on my plate which is still rather a lot.

Anyhoo, back to the matter at hand which is my new DT card for the Joanna Sheen challenge blog.  The theme this time is "Boys will be boys" so any male themed cards.  I have used this fab Gruffies stamp called "Ride of your life" which you can get here.  I have coloured the image in with my promarkers and it's the first Gruffie I've coloured in for ages.  The papers are from a Bo Bunny "Welcome home" paperstack.  It was the only paperstack that I had to hand that looked particular masculine and I was kinda running late making my card the night before!  Apologies for the naff piccie but It was 12.30am and one of my bulbs had gone!  I think I'll take another piccie tomorrow when the light is better.

I hope that you'll join me and the rest of the DT with all of your masculine cards over at the Joanne Sheen Challenge blog.
 
Thanks for looking!

Wild Rose Studio DT card

Hiya everyone, 

Quick post from me as I've just realised that today is the 15th (thought it was tomorrow! Lol) which means it's time for the mid-way reminder for the A little bit crafty "Die-ing for it!" challenge.

My card is also one of my recent Wild rose Studio DT cards which I made a few weeks back.  The stamp is called "Teddy with Gerbera" and is so cute.  It's only coloured in dead with with promarkers as I was rushing to get as many samples made as I could as Dulcie and Mathew needed them for a trade fair.  The paper pad is also from Wild Rose Studio called Strawberry picnic and is nice and bright without being gawdy.  The bunting is cut from one of the petterned paper sheets and the flowers are from a Joy crafts flower die.  I think this floral oval nestie is my
 
I though I'd use this sample as I've used several die cuts on it and I've been so busy recently I've not really had chance to make anything else specially.  I have several lots of DT work in the pipeline for Cardmaking and Papercraft, Making Cards and Crafts Beautiful magazines so I've never been busier which means I haven't had as much time to blog!  I have just finished my DT card for the next A little bit crafty challenge which starts on the 1st August so am just about where I need to be although it's not easy with my 2 babies!  I actually made the front cover of Making Cards magzine in June with one of my Wild Rose Studio cards! Yay! 

As I have been so busy I made the difficult decision to step down from the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge as it was hard finding enough hours in a day.  I really love my House Mouse and it was hard to leave such a fab team but I was struggling and I can still use my mousies for the Joanna Sheen Challenge and my own A little bit crafty challenge!
Thanks so much for looking and any comments are most appreciated!
