Hm, bit of a manly day...

Ooer!

No, I mean the cards I've made today are all rather manly looking and not a sign of pink or glitter or cuteness, well, except maybe the Mr Campy caravans!

I'm now completely up-to-date with my Card a Day activities, but definitely craving some girly prettiness now.

Here's the first one using Cosmo Cricket's Wanted again.

Papers: Cosmo Cricket
Stamps: Sassafras Lass
Die cut accents: Cosmo Cricket
Brads: Making Memories

This card is actually pretty huge as it was made to fit a blank unused envelope I recycled and the inside and back are fully covered in Wanted papers (the perfect way to use up stash in a no-fuss fashion - just cover your entire card blank with it!), mind you it weighs a bit what with that and the screw eyelets. Yep, using up those eyelets too!

And then the Mr Campy came out!

Papers: Cosmo Cricket
Die cut accents: Cosmo Cricket

I think this would work as a Bon Voyage card, or even something quirky for Father's Day - since I am sure there are many dads out there who got harassed with this question from the backseat on long car journeys!

And finally, more Mr Campy:

Papers: Cosmo Cricket
Stamps: Papertrey Ink
Die cut accents: Cosmo Cricket
Rub-ons: Doodlebug
Stickers: KI Memories
Ribbon: May Arts

And at last, I have used up what remained of that May Arts ribbon (purchased ca. 2004) - the relief!

Now, I had hoped to be more productive this afternoon - but I put on a DVD while I was crafting, and ended up forgetting the stash and concentrating on the movie. It was one of the best films I've seen in ages, absolutely beautiful to look at and totally engrossing. Definitely see The Fall if you have the chance. :o)

Great cards Nat. I find it so hard to make cards for men but these are fab. But... how can you be relieved about using up your last bit of ribbon!!!! I'd be freaking out. Mind you ar least you can now buy some more :)

Ha, it's not my last bit of ribbon ever - quite the contrary... {clears throat}

Nope, just the last of that brown stripey ribbon - yay! One day I will be able to close the ribbon box!
