Welcome to my Corner of the World

It is exactly one year ago today that we arrived back to live in the UK after 23 years in the US! That time has simply flown by and I am sincerely thankful that we have been able to keep in contact with our friends in the US as well as settling in our new lives back here and spending time with family which was our principle reason for returning. Although Thanksgiving is not recognised here in the UK we are cooking our Thanksgiving Lunch as I write this!

Today I am sharing a masculine themed card ~ always a challenge for me, but I have invested in some new stamp sets that are more ‘fella’ oriented and was quite chuffed with the result!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

I have used this lazy Z fancy fold on so many occasions, it brings a little extra fun to the card by simply adding an extra score line!

Campology ~ a card for the guys in our lives

Welcome to my Corner of the World

My posts have been a little tardy this last week due to a bad case of allergies and asthma that landed me in urgent care yesterday morning when I should have been writing my post!! Well I am now dosed up with antibiotics and steroids (one of which was in my ‘sit-upon’ ) and ready to go again 🙂 I like to write my posts within 24 hours of posting them so I know I am including the most up to date information -so I don’t prepare them days or weeks in advance.

I have shared before that masculine cards have always been a bit of a challenge for me – well for someone who loves flowers and sparkles that is understandable I guess, but the Campology Stamp Set is a great one for the guys and that is what I am showcasing today!

Welcome to my Corner of the World

Cajun Craze is a color I seem to forget until Autumn, but it is a great color for masculine cards, especially if you pair it with Sahara Sand and Early Expresso! If you are regular reader of my blog you will know that I struggle with guy themed card but it you have the right stamp set and the right colors they are a lot easier to make. 🙂

I shall be so sorry to see the Soar Confidently Stamp Set retire but it will be available until June 30th – so you can still add it to your order!
