Chillin out Dude

I rarely make cards for men and almost never for teenage boys .Ive already entered one card into the challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers but thought I would have another go as I have quite a few images that have been sent to me by a friend .When I looked I thought this young man reminded me of Nicholas Lyndhurst ( Rodney in Only Fools and Horses).All the papers are Kaiser Craft.The letters I cut from an old calendar ,I just wanted the word CHILLIN without the G but that gave me an uneven number of letters .

Permission to come aboard

The inside has a compass to complete the nautical theme.



Sorry I haven't been around for a while ,I still haven't finished my inserts or the craft room (I seem to be having a few health problems).

I bought this little ship in pack of nautical bits n bobs about 8 years ago ,yes I did say 8 years.Not that I'm a hoarder but I thought I might use them one day.The card blank already had the apperture .

Crafty Cardmakers -Cards for Teenage boys - Australia is a great place if you love fishing ,out in your tinny .

Stamping Vacation -What a Guy -Boating theme .

Splish Splash

The legs on the bath have been heat embossed gold.The bubbles were printed out twice and raised on sticky pads. I'm not sure the tiled effect works but I would love a bath like this one.

365 Cards - Day 178- Imagine this - Sugar- So many things are made using sugar, in England we call it Candy floss , you may know it as Fairy Floss. It comes in the most lovely pink and that is the route I've taken for my card.

Stamping Vacation - Sentiment -Even sugar doesn't have you beatwhen it comes to being sweet.I have a feeling I may have missed the deadline for this one.

The Pink Elephant challenge 51 -Polka dots,a bow and the colour pink.

The image is from Pollycraft which I layered onto grey pearlised card.Her dress has been embellished with tiny sequins,lots of clear sparkles and pink glitter on her tiara.The pink spot paper was a magazine freebie and the pink strip is from a baby themed scrap pad.I've tried to keep it simple because the image is so big.
