Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning folks....hope you are all enjoying your weekend and finding time to fit in a bit of crafting.....as per usual I am off out to my cubbyhole......hubby is getting ready to start painting...a tad grumpy today he is....and after my expensive faux pas with the car.....I can't afford a visit to the divorce lawyers as well.....so best I stay out of the way....no grumpiness allowed in the cubby and what a glorious morning....the sun has got his hat on today......hope he is visiting where you are too.
The challenge this week on Daring Cardmakers has been set by Rein and boy....excuse the pun...did I enjoy this one.

GAMES AND TOYS FOR BOYS

I knew what I was going to do the minute I saw it and reached for
My Nitwit Collections....Little Men
I love this collection and it is just perfect for cards for boys of all ages.
A nice quick and easy card apart from the bit where I had to cut
out the spokes on the bicycle wheels....
let me tell you that would try the patience of a saint....
I have got some super cute cards to share with you tomorrow.....from two extra special little gentlemen.......and I had a little play yesterday....made a card....not for a challenge...not for any DT....not for anybody in particular.....just for me and that doesn't happen very often.  Now you know me...I have never been into Magnolias....Tildas or Sugar Nellies....and I can just hear you thinking "wash your mouth out woman"....but I must admit when I see them on other folks' blogs.....they are beginning to grow on me...so inspired by three very special ladies.....I decided to bite the bullet and have a go....just hope that I haven't shot myself in the foot.......you can be the judge tomorrow.....that is if I don't chicken out and not show it at all......catch you all later..............Hugs Kath xxxxxx

  21. I hope that OH is a bit happier by now Kath and that the sun has made him smile too.

    I can’t say I’ve seen that Little Men collection before but I think having seen what you’ve done with it I may just have to go shopping.

    Your card is just fab!
