Challenge 180 - Cards for Men

Firstly I must say Happy Thanksgiving one and all

So last week we had Thanskgiving this week we have MEN - should we be giving thanks for them then????

Thanks for all your lovely entries last week... all super and very different.
We love to look at them so keep your entries coming

This week as I said the challenge is CARDS FOR MEN.... a lot of folks find them difficult to make... luckily I don't have that problem as I can always find something suitable.


As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours just make sure you include your THANKS. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.

Obviously if you wish to do so you can combine Men with Christmas and make a card for the men in your life - one less card to make.

Now check out the fab DT cards and also welcome Lesley back.... she was ill but now much better.... good to see you again my friend. Thanks DT for your sterling work once again.

Challenge 179 - Thanksgiving

Thanks for the lovely pink and green creations last week... they were  super and we enjoyed looking at them all. If I missed a comment or two please forgive me as working overseas from a tablet not always easy lol
This week the United States celebrate Thanksgiving...we in the UK don't but maybe we should.
So I would like to see your turkeys and pumpkins and puddings and THANKS for all the good things in our lives. Don't forget the boys and girls who have served  and are still serving their countries. Let's get them all home soon.

I was over in Miami with my husband last week for a party and the day after 'the do' the family invited us to an early Thanksgiving.. what a surprise and what a fabulous dinner we had.
The house was decorated for the occasion and the food - well what a lot there was - turkey, home cooked ham, pumpkin tart delicious, the most fabulous sweet potatoes made with brown sugar, molasses and marshmallows on top... so yummy and sooo fattening. There was creamed spinach, cranberry sauce and relish, spiced apples, salads and breads and for pudding the fabulous pumpkin pie - I am sure I have forgotten something but you get the picture.
It was our first Thanksgiving and we did really enjoy it and we got invited back on the proper date next year lol. So this challenge is even more relevant to us this week... thanks so much to all involved last week and for making our Miami stay superb.



As usual you may create whatever you fancy be it atc, card, scrapbook layout, tag, inchie, 4 x 4 - the choice is yours just make sure you include your THANKS. As always add your creation to your blog or email me direct with the picture if you don't have a blog. Leave me a comment with a direct link to your work of art and I will pop over to have a look. Please include a link to my challenge site on your blog. Thanks and enjoy the challenge.



Now check out the DT blogs and their super creations.. thanks gang.

Congratulations....  Yogi

My challenge this week is to create something inspired by the plant below

It is a Princettia..... I bought it from QVC where it had been especially bred for the Breast Cancer Care night a couple of weeks ago.... a pink poinsettia..... I have never seen one before and it is truly amazing. Also all the money for the plant went to a good cause so I was happy to purchase it and now it sits on our dining room table in all its glory... I wonder how long it will live????
