Mens cards are always hard to do, so I hope you can take inspiration from the DT this week. We used the fab Not For Girls CD plus 3 brads and some doodling. Scooters were my theme and lots of men in my family love their bikes.

Materials used – White square cardblank, Papers and elements from the Not for Girls CD, Polkadoodles Everyday stamps, Black chalk ink, White gel pen and Brads.
Set myself a challenge to make some flowers from ribbon. I used my Cuttlebug to cut of the flowers, but I would love to have some bigger dies, so bigger flowers.

All things spooky for this weeks challenge. I must admit that I'm not a big fan of Halloween, but did enjoy making the hanging spiders web. Checkout the other creations on the Polkadoodles blog, they are just fantastic.

I don’t seem to be getting much done between the Polkadoodles challenges and everything else and another week has flown by. Another fabby sketch from Nikky this week, plus we could use any CD and any stamps. Check out the new double CD Not for Girls which has gone really well on Create & Craft. It contains so much inspiration for making cards for men, something that is always so hard to do. One of the elements are these birds with attitude, they are sooooo cool. Just perfect for the dude in your house.
