Hello... good morning! I hope you are all doing ok... it's time for a brand new challenge over at


This week it's the turn of Team A... and the lovely Carole is our hostess.... she has chosen the fab theme of

'One for the Guys'

So we would like to see projects for men or boys!! it doesn't have to be a card... as long as you create something with a male theme...


Awww... isn't he adorable!!  I decided to make him a ginger-headed boy with freckles....


Image: 'Flutterby' - Mo Manning
Papers: Shery K Design - 'Himalayan Blue'
Butterfly: Prima Flutterbits - MCH
Sentiment: Polka Doodles Father's Day Kit (freebie couple of years ago)
Dew Drops, Buttons, Twine, Gems - Unused stash that I"ve had for oh so long!!


I've coloured this cute little fella with Copics and used a cloud template to create the sky background.... hopefully it looks like a lovely Spring Day... we can dream!.... LOL

We are sponsored this week by the fabulous Jo Channon at Let's Create

For more details of the challenge... I hope you can hop on over to MAWTT and you can also see my Teamies gorgeous creations....

I'm not feeling too good at the moment ... my stomach problems have flared up ... so I'm going to stay in bed for a couple of days and try and get myself better for the weekend! :-) 

 At least we had some sunshine yesterday... I can't believe we are into May... hopefully the weather will stay warm and dry and we can all enjoy a nice Bank Holiday Weekend!!
