Stamp with fun #59 – DT card

It’s Monday morning so time for another challenge over at stamp with fun challenge.  Our challenge this week is a nice easy one for you “stripes”.  You can make anything as long as it has some stripes on it somewhere!!  Here is what I came up with:

I had to make a rugby themed card for an order I had so I decided to combine the two.  I have stripes on my paper and also on my little boys shirt – cool ‘eh!!  The finished card is A5 in size. 

Please check out the rest of the DT cards, as they are beautiful as always. 

I can also enter my card into the following challenges:

Papertake challenge – shiny/sparkly and special

ABC challenge – U is for unused stash (the papers are very old)

Cute card Thursday challenge – someone special

Crafty Ann’s challenge – anything goes

DU2DS challenge – anything goes

Stamp something challenge – celebrate something

Stamping for the weekend challenge – a card for a male

Allsorts challenge – birthday

Our creative corner challenge – masculine birthday

Stamp, scrap & doodle challenge – masculine

Stamp with fun #58 – DT card

Morning everyone!  There is a new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge this week and we have a wonderful sketch by Andrea/Emmi41 to work with.

This is what I came up with:

It was my son’s 16th birthday on Saturday and this was the card I made for his brother to give to him.  He thought it was very funny!  We had a lovely day out as a family.  We went to the cinema to see Iron Man 2, which was good but not as good as the first one and we went for lunch to pizza hut, which was delicious :) 

My father is still in hospital.  His knee replacement went well and he was recovering from the operation when they found a blood clot in his lung!  He is now on treatment for that but to top it all off he has now got a problem with his prostate :)  Hopefully he can come home tomorrow (before they find anything else wrong with him) and just have a follow up as an out-patient.  I will be glad to have him home as visiting every night is so time consuming and the night is gone before you know it!! 

My card also fits in with the following challenges:

A spoonfull of sugar challenge – furry friends

Lili of the valley challenge – here comes summer (paper reminds me of a deck chair lol)

Cute card Thursday challenge – boyz to men

Crafty Ann’s challenge – anything goes

DU2DS challenge – anything goes

Stamp something challenge – birthday somethings

Stampin’ for the weekend challenge – a card for a male

Pile it on challenge – cute and cuddly

Anyway I hope you have a chance to pop over and see the rest of the DT cards, as they are stunning and I look forward to seeing what you create this week.
