Fix it

It may be dank outside but I have a nice warm glow from getting lovely comments about my cards and also another crafty pal. My card today may look so simple but it took me ages to work out how not to cover the background lol. I also had a play with my few copics which are lovely to use but like everything else takes practice. That said this was a great image to play with and use lots of different colours. I almost forget that I can use my spellbinders to create frames but I think it was just what I needed here. I made the sentiment on the computer and used the same die cutter to give it the shape.

A Gem of a Challenge #54 - A Boys Thing

Dare to Fly

I don't think I've posted twice before in one day, I wonder if my blog will get confused, I suppose if it does it will be just like me. It is a bit damp here now so in thinking of blue skies I popped together a little boy card although hopefully it will be fine for any age.

Wee Fairy 1

No complaints about this last week weather wise but my only crafting was one family card. A couple of months ago I bought a magazine, my only one this year so far, with the aim of having a good read while in hospital, an event subsequently canceled but will happen one day. Anyway that resulted in my getting a set of free Wee stamps so I played with one this morning. And yes I am to be nudged back to creating my boy cards which I have enjoyed making.

My Boat

After a bad night and dozing on the settee from 4am I woke to a drizzle day and pottered about with this card and now I am pleased to come on here and read the comments left by my crafty visitors.
Yet another little boy card on here today but my next card will have to be an adult one for a 65 year old male so I shall have to put my thinking cap on.  I was so please to find the twine I had mislaid I was determined to use it so I hope it looks ok. I do wish I didn't mislay stuff lol.

Rope Swing

A bit of a day yesterday as the memory slipped out of focus (so frustrating asking myself , did I finish my coffee, where did I put my cup, why did I come into this room etc, etc), so to stop from annoying everyone around I went off to the allotment to talk to the weeds, boy these weeds have grown.
So it will come as no surprise to anyone that I made my first upside down card in a while - (also fondly known as an Australian card) , I have rescued it this morning so now it is a topper sitting on a blue card and with a matched tag.
It is also another little boy card although I enjoyed one of those swings myself a few decades ago. I'm not sure if "Cool" is still in use,

Yellow Belt

Love this feeling of crafty pals leaving such friendly comments on my blog. I do so enjoy reading them.
I have been double good this week, my only purchase has been my canvas paper and this is boy card number two.  I will have to stretch my memory back to growing up with three brothers to get my imagination going. I will admit that this image took a minimum of colouring in but hopefully that yellow belt covers the important element.

Well I need a talking to, I have about two boy cards left in my box so if my crafty pals should see me straying towards girl cards and pink or purple in the next week please feel free to nudge me back on track.
I decided to follow a sketch to kick off this boy card and apart from forgetting to mount my dotty paper onto the blue card to leave a small outline I was happy enough. I have used this image before and it always brings a smile.
