The challenge on Cards for Men is for a Multi Fold Card On My Time to Craft its Quick Quotes I think this sort of card is called a shutter card I found the instruction on a free craft site through google It looks complicated but was quite easy to make The paper is from a bargain pad of Quickutz Papers in the local shop Its mounted on Mira card The quote is one I have saved on my PC and I cannot remember were it came from but it says: 'Wisdom does not come with age.. .. sometimes age just shows up all by itself!'

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

As some of you may be aware I am being made redundant at the end of June, I have worked there for 15 years and have never had to have a CV in my life! So sorry I have not done much crafting this week but I have been writing my CV I cannot believe how long it has taken me - but its done now and I have sent it off to some company's. So fingers crossed I will hear something Hopefully I will have another card to share soon.

The challenge on Cards For Men is Humour (well I think this is funny!) The sketch I have followed is from Sketch & Stash My new stash is the image of Gus from Bugaboo and this has been coloured with my new pro markers I printed two of him out and cut the car and his arm as one so that I could give him some dimension The sentiment is one I done in word The little clouds are a speech bubble from word Finished with a few gems

Adele set the challenge on Dotties World and its to make your own flowers On Secret Crafter they wanted to see 'In the Garden' This card is very simple the Tulips and Stems have been cut on my craft robo using a lovely template from the UK Scrapper site The image is Holly in the Garden I have coloured her using my new Pro Markers She is mounted onto the same green card the stem were cut from.
