Hello To You All
And a great big "HOWDY" to my new Followers. Thank you ever so much for choosing to come and follow me, I am very flattered and I do appreciate it.
Is it me or has it turned REALLY COLD this week - brrrrrrr - it's freezing - let's hope the white stuff stays away.
It's Saturday again so it's challenge time over at Totally Gorjuss where the theme this week is "Spotty". Our lovely new sponsor for this week is Bunny Zoe, so to be in with a chance to win £10 to spend on their web-site then get your entries in.
As always, make sure you check out that the lovely DT girlies over at Totally Gorjuss have made to inspire you.
Here is my card:
I was asked to make a 60th Husband Birthday Card with a Garden Theme and as you can see I have used some 'Spotty' paper, there are some 'Spots' around the blue flowers in the top right-hand corner and of course there are 'Spots' on his handkerchief! ;o)

You did a great job on this male card Hazel, they are always so difficult to make.
And I'm glad to read that I'm not the only one that hopes the white stuff stays away (I love it on cards and photo's, but not on the streets).
Have a good weekend,

Another fabulous card Hazel...and a guy's card always deserves a medal in my opinion since I am soooo bad at making them myself! Obviously you have no problems with them.
Perfect image and colouring, great choice of papers and spot on with the embellies. The recipient will treasure it :)
Big hugs

I love this card. I love the colors you chose for his card and the way you colored him. I have to go to Mo's and get this before summer, perfect image for my hubby. You made a fantastic card for a male.
I'm always on the look out for inspiration for male cards, and I'm not above stealin' good ideas, so you might see a "twin" poppin' up on me blog...hahaa! Spot on, Hazel!
Hi Hazel, what a fantastic card! I love the layout. Love the way the inside coordinates with the front...brilliant. The image is great and the colouring amazing!

This is just fabulous, love the image and the total make up of the card, brilliant.
Strange but round here it seems to be the women who are the gardeners. I hate my Hubby going in the garden as he just cuts everything down, or hoe's new shoots out.
Enjoy what's left of your weekend and thanks for your lovely comment.
