Ooh! So many lovely images on here today! :T:T:T and may I also add my congratulations to Rainmac for doing her fab run! Hope your legs feel better soon.

At the last minute I've finally got my challenge card done. Had to wait for my hubby to take my two kid's swimming so I could secretly put it on here! :shhh:

It was made in a CD case, I'm not sure its his sort of thing really but I loved creating all the distressing and swirls and stuff. :

I have made a card for my son's best friends bday and want to enter it for the male challenge as not got round to doing Father's day card yet!

I made this from the football papers on a site that someone here recommended sorry can't remember who! My son and his friend are both Chelsea mad so this was perfect and I am planning a similar one for my son's bday on Wednesday!

This was also my first go at decoupage!!!

How did you do the swirls and things and where did you get the You Rock lettering ? Really sets it off.

Thanks mary, the swirls are from a stamp and the writing is hand-written (but copied from a gothic script) - I was a calligrapher in a former life (bk - before kids! )

I even stamped on the plastic case, I LOVE swirls!
