Challenge # 818 - MASCULINE

 Hello everyone,

Chrissy here with you this week as your hostess and my theme for this challenge is MASCULINE..

What? did I here a moan or two, ha ha, masculine is not hard, think of anything like colours, moody grungy, boats, most men like boats, hunting, fishing, flying, car racing, lots of options, make it simple or hard..tags are good for our blokes.

Here is what I did..

I used just papers and handmade ephemera and made a long arch card booklet.

See..joined it up with washi tape..

So there you go, come on, you can do it..can't wait to see your projects this week..

Link up below and have FUN!!

Challenge #816 - Honky Cat

It’s time for a new challenge! This week, the theme is Honky Cat (another one of Elton John’s hits which I am using as inspiration for my challenge themes this year). I’m opening the theme up to any sort of household pet though - so cats are certainly welcome but so are dogs, rodents, fish, birds and exotic pets as well!

I created my card of a pup with three little kittens. 

We’d love for you to join the fun by linking up your project below. Be sure to check out the Girlfriends’ (DT) creations below!

I'm really looking forward to seeing through your creations this week.  If you need a little jump start for your creativity, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.  They never cease to amaze me.

Have fun,
