Vehicles Or Transport TMR

Hi Everyone my second DT card today is for

 The Male Room

 Still without mojo, when will it return? I have too many family cards to get made, it's going to be hard at this rate. I had already die cut a car, but it didn't go anywhere, even after a few attempts!  So off to my files again and found this image. My brother sent it to me many years ago, so I don't know where the original came from, I was under the impression, he added the ivy etc to an old car in Photoshop, but I may be wrong. He used to be a photographer, so very experienced.

Anyhow, I took it and added it to a scalloped half, in Silhouette, found some quotes to suit the men whose birthdays were in March. The scalloped image, and the background with a quote, were print and cut, then added to the base card, the scalloped shape was 3D'd onto the card. I used a landscaped 5 x 7. Next I found some gears and cut them out in Silhouette with rose mirror card to match the rust of the car. Then they were added.

I was happy to have 2 cards with one sitting.

 What will your mode of transport be?

Spring has sprung!

 Hello Everyone, I hope you have all recovered from the 3 recent storms to hit the UK and no one had damage. 

It's a while since I showed you some garden photos, so I thought it's time to bore you again! We have Spring coming into the garden like crazy, I even read yesterday it could be the earliest Spring ever! Anyhow, I thought I would show you our daffodils and crocus that I took in between showers last week, they stood up to the wind and lashing rain and still give me joy. The rest of the daffodils in the garden are either coming up later or have disappeared below ground, however our tulips are are certainly putting on a splurge of growth, so many, I wonder where they came from, I hope they flower!

Now on to why you are here, here's a card I did for my Carpenter Great Nephew a few months ago and forgot to show you. 

I was in a complete lack of mojo mindset before making this card, when I'm like that, I go through my digital items and see what I've got to suit, then mojo comes to life slightly, enabling me to make a card. 

 I had all the elements on this card from a digi kit "I'm his Garage" by Sherwood Studio at DigiChick in 2012. I am going back and using older schtuff that I haven't used enough of. This kit came in very handy with lots of tools and elements that my GNephew uses. I gathered lots of the elements and designed the card to suit him, the sentiment was found on the web 

this is the insert, again, I found the joke on the web.

the blur is my greeting to him, I didn't think you would be interested in that!

Tools and thanks

Hi Everyone my card today is for the

This is a GREAT challenge for 

those mens card that you may find tricky,

 I hope you'll pay a visit and play with us.

Lots of ideas on this but in the end I decided to go with a thank you for the fitters here. I'll even do a few the same!!! so they have one each. I hate batch making, I rarely do more than one card the same, but I like this card and I think they may appreciate it. I have a few days to do it before they are finished, so maybe one or two a day or more, we'll see.

the prize is 2 digital stamps

My card today is using the fabulous "Land Ho"  image, I thought it appropriate for hubby for Father's Day, (I know a little early for the UK, but at least then I won't forget) his Grandfather was Norwegian and the story goes that he got shipwrecked and was washed up on the East coast of Britain!  I don't know if it's true! but I thought I would do a play on the story and use this wonderful Viking image.

Strong Floral Lady

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Dragons Lair Designs FB progressive challenge, the image we were given to play with is just beautiful and I had ideas how to colour her, but it didn't go that way.

I was looking for dp's in my files and came across a blog hop set of files, from DigiChick named "Playful" in it was a paint splatter and my card was born! This card is going to a friend who always has bad things happen to her big and small, but thankfully with lots of prayers, always comes out on top.

Hippie Birthday

Hi Everyone, while I am able to get into Blogger, I am scheduling a post or 2!

My card for you today, just in time for a friend of ours, is something that came to me after seeing the sentiment, all I had to do is get an image and voilà.  This was that easy! UNTIL it came to colouring, then it was what colours to choose.

I found some digi paper and went with the colours from that, which I think are very 60's / 70's and yes, I am old enough to remember them LOL, I am a frustrated hippie, Mum wouldn't allow me to be like that, I always had to be "classic" style, now I have problems in what style I am, even at my age. I do have a couple of what is called gypsy skirts, that's the closest I get to "hippie" style.

Anyhow here are the details of my card.

sentiment - Create with TLC

Hippie - Dearie Dolls, digitally coloured, print and cut on the Cameo, then 3D'd
