All About the Boys at Lili's Little Fairies Challenge

Good Morning to you all my wonderful crafty friends.
I hope you are well and having a good week so far. Sending hugs to those in need of them.

Today is the start of a new Lili's Little Fairies Challenge
This week our theme is

All About the Boys

For this challenge we are offering a 2 week GDT spot to the lucky winner!

I used to struggle a bit with making male cards but just recently I have found that has changed and I did actually enjoy making this card, probably helped by using this adorable image which is from one of the LOTV sketch pads.


Items Used:
Image - from LOTV sketch pad Vintage Boys. Coloured with Promarkers
Papers - LOTV Country Gent
Sentiment - LOTV Everyday Grungy Messages 
Memory Box Honeysuckle Vine
Marianne Designs Bird on Branch small


If you take a look at the Lili's Little Fairies Challenge you will see the wonderful creations made by this week's design team and see who were the winners of the last challenge


I would like to enter my card into the following fabulous challenges:
Stamping Sensations - Wings and Things with a touch of vintage
Inky Impressions - Masculine
Penny's Challenge - dies and/or punches
C...is for Challenge - Animals
Lisa B Designs - Vintage

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and look at my blog today. I really do appreciate it and love to read any comments you may wish to make
bye for now
hugs

    My husband would LOVE receiving this card, Sue. Thank you for the inspiration. He and his german shepherd are inseparable. Makes me smile to see the "little boy and his dog" when they are outside. Your card, as always, looks so pretty and professional - just lovely in every way, but still perfect for a guy. hugs, de

    Sue, I'm so sorry I haven't been able to visit your blog for long time. You have been very busy in a while. You have shared so many gorgeous cards in this time. I even had to click "older posts" to see rest of them. I'm so embarrased of my self. I love all your card and I missed watching your blog. You always choose so beautiful designer papers on your card and they even look beautiful after putting them together. This is magic to me.
    Hugs,
    Eret
