Pink Gem Designs - "Boys Birthday"

Good Morning Gemsters another fortnight has flown and this time its the Pink Teams turn to host the Challenge and this time for a "Boys Birthday" theme and I know it can be a struggle for us to create a suitable card for a boy, Janet has some fabulous young boy images and I hope you will like my choice for my card.
But before I jump ahead of myself I must tell you we are so lucky to be able to choose any image to play with and you will find lots of pick from over on Janet's "Pink Gem Designs" website

And now for the reveal of my own card

This young man is called "Gaming Andy" you will find him here, and Im sure you can relate to him very easily if your own son is addicted to playing his gaming machine. I printed him onto white card
then coloured him with my copic pens, afterwards I used the Little B's Square die to cut him out and a larger fancy one for the mount out of blue card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of blue card, the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and this set is titled "Boys Toys" and you will find them here. I have used two papers the first a polka dot one with a blue background and the second a yellow backed zig zag design which was placed on a piece of blue card and placed down the left hand side. I used a papercraft die to cut out the sentiment which was placed at the bottom on the right hand side.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a vist to the Pink Gem Designs Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Boys Birthday" Challenge.

A Card for Sundays with Santa "A Card for a Child"

Good Morning Crafters, well I dont know if you heard it in your neck of the woods but at 1.30 am this morning there was a torrential downpour of rain yet again and it woke both hubby and myself up, its getting like a jungle in my garden as the grass and everything else is growing so fast, even the Forest is already over grown with ferns, I dont think theres enough sheep to chomp it down, the wild boar dont even touch that just turns over the grass instead, and of course its causing a lot of trouble when it gets into playing fields and gardens as you can image they do terrible damage. Now they want to cull them, not sure how they got dumped but theyve certainly reciprocated since they were dropped of on the side of the road a number of years ago.
Anyway Ive getting of the subject this weeks theme on Sundays with Santa is making a card for a child and I used this sweet Sugar Nellie image and printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her. Afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card the papers are from Trimcrafts "Santa's Workshop" and I have used two papers the first is a white background with houses on and the second is a stripped one and I have placed that across the center and a mesh ribbon around the center was then attached to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed in the center and the diecut sentiment down the right hand side.
