I was delighted to be asked by Donna, (creator of Cards for Men),
to return to the design team and I had great pleasure in accepting!
CFM has kicked off the first New Year challenge with the theme, 'Men at Work'.
This challenge is sponsored by Donna's friend, SU! demo Carole Bryson Wood of He[art]fully Yours.
Here Carole tells us a little about herself.....
'I am an Independent Stampin Up! Demonstrator in Lancashire & surrounding areas. I teach large and small scrapbooking and craft classes. I can arrange parties in your home for crafting and non-crafting friends to suit your requirements, and where everyone is guaranteed to have a great time ! I also run a crop in the Rochdale area. Please contact me for more details at carole.bryson@gmail.com xx'
Here's my take on the challenge ......
I've taken a SLIGHT liberty with the theme, as it's a retirement card.
BUT!! To retire, you have to have WORKED right!
AND!! Gardening in retirement is WORK isn't it!
Hee Hee. So I'm not naughty after all!
I coloured my image with Copics, which is from the DVD 'The Best Of JustINKlined'.
The DP is from a pad by MME, 'A Mother's Love'.
The little sentiment is from Papermania.
Please visit the Cards for Men blog to see the amazing samples done by the other DT members
(and play along of course). There is a smashing prize up for grabs...
2 Full Size Stampin Up! Ink Pads
(winner can choose from Subtles, Brights or Regals)
Thank you Carole!
Male cards are always a challenge aren't they, so why not have a go!
The challenge is open until the 20th Jan, so you have bags of time to play along.
