A challenge

HI THERE .
Great to see you here . Welcome to my room .
Had a fabulous  craft morning with Fran and Sandy .Would have been happier if our coffee machine was behaving itself . it was telling me that the water reservoir needed filling , but I think that the float was sticking cause it was already  full . But we all got our cuppacinos  in the end .
I had made 3 cards and kits to share . My paper stash does not seem to be getting any smaller so many of my makes,  lately ,  are a challenge in themselves to make , as I try to use parts of 12"x12" sheets .
Had a go at making a man's card for a challenge .Except for the card base of SU Chocolate Chip and the Very Vanilla ,   everything else is from my ancient stash .
I actually enjoyed making this even though it is out of my comfort zone . That is , it is not CAS .


Congratulations and Happy Retirement are from  SU set Teeny Tiny Sentiments

The background paper and postcard, stamps , stickers and " typed Letters are from my stash . The men image is a vintage  freebie found on internet, while the clock face is from Stamp-It
I would like to enter this into

My thought for today ..
 There is nothing in a caterpillar
  that tells you
 it is going to be a butterfly .

                                         Catch you again soon , cheers for now , Shirley-Anne.

  2. Shirley-Anne, it's magnificent. I do think you have a definite flair for vintage and masculine cards as all these elements combined are fantastic!! I must also add that I am beyond impressed that you made such a splendid card whilst fighting with the coffee maker. Had it been me, that project would have been scrapped! :D

  16. Hi Shirley-Anne, this card is like a good cup of coffee. What a flair you have with vintage and men's card and such a lot of ease as well. LOVE this creation.
    So glad to have you visit and read those lovely comments... Blogging makes my world more beautiful. I was so sad when my hands and neck were bad - almost heartbroken was I!!! So relieved that I am healing thanks to all the love I received from my blog buddies.

    Hugs,
