How do I go about making a male birthday card? I need one for my dad in the beginning of March. I don't have any stamps or anything (well I do but I doubt he'd appreaciate a Tinkerbell on his card!) so could you guide me colourwise etc?

I tend to go for red/blues when I do male cards. Have a wee look on my blog for my most recent ones.

Look for free digi stamps if you've got a printer, you might get good male ones there. I'm not amazing at them tbh...!

So far I have:

Tomsmom (Love that LOTV image!)
Artydoll (Very impressed with all you're doing from the magazines, I usually grab my freebies then leave them unloved on a shelf )
Lindseyandmatthew (Lovely V-day card!)
Julie03 (Love that Penny Black image!)

as my challenge entrants.

The challenge will close on the 25th at midnight. I might be away that weekend, so will do the draw as soon as I can when I get back

Glittermum.....sorry I cut your quote off ,I thought I would show another seeing as you liked the dog,lol.
I have blobbed another as well .cant put all my makes on here or it would soon be full,cant seem to stop making them at the moment.

Had my first fleabay card sale today woooooooooooo only 99p .but its a great feeling to sell one on there at last, and it was a male one
I,ve been putting them on for ages.but usually pretty ones,got a few Mum cards on at the mo.
Hope your all fine today,its quite sunny down here in South Wales ,but it sure aint warm out.

Artydoll - is the magazine you are recommending the March issue please? I'm guessing it is 'cos you're a subscriber my local Sainsbugs only had the Feb issue. I'm loving your cards.

TomsMum - I'm another who uses the SU punches with craftwork oval sentiments.

Willow - if you can print Crafty Emma's store has some fairly neutral digi male images in aid of charity (Yorkshire Air Ambulance) which are quite useful.

Bit stressed (again!!) so apologies if I appear terse.

I can't print anything or I'd be sorted

Hello everyone,

Happy birthday to everyone I have missed, I had such good intentions as well this year to keep up with the list, Not a lot new down south, we had no snow which was gutting as I brought the children a sledge each for christmas, Half term is finally here and it could not come a moment to soon, I spent most of last week ill the worst I have felt in years and so need the break,

Flyin there is a card on my blog for your challenge,
Arty doll glad the mojo is back your cards are lovley
Wifey hope your recovering well, and I'm dead jealous of Kitty I have to make do with me old 1970's kenwood which I love
Rainmac hope the hand is better,
Good to see you both Marg and Tomsmum
and hello to all the newbies enjoy

Take care

Hello The-Wife

Thanks so much for that, much appreciated.

I'm ok thanks, just been working away, not a lot different really. My Mum died a wee while before Xmas, so just been taking it easy after organising funeral etc, it wasn't easy!

How are you?

Hi! Sal, it's Paper Mill Direct here If you get on their mailing list there maybe a special at the weekend, that's if you don't need it in a hurry, like tomorrow. How's things by the way?

LindseyandMatthew nice card and sentiment, have you put it in for any challenges if you have a blog?

Has anyone tried the Lea'bilities dies like these ??
