Fore !!! . . . . . . . . . .


Good morning everyone. Phew, what scorchers we have had recently. 

Its been stifling at times at work. We have a fan but all it seems to do is shift the warm air around. Mr D was away for work overnight midweek and so I had the luxury of having our fan at home at full pelt in the bedroom. Even in this weather, he's in jim jams and snuggled under a duvet, not wanting the fan on or a window open!!!

So Tuesday night, there I was, on the bed, flat out with the fan wafting over me warm bits. . . . . . bliss!!!
That is until I had dropped off and it obviously built up a healthy gust which blew over a picture on my chest of drawers. The clatter resulted in my leaving a dent in the ceiling as I jumped with fright. That was that, fan off for the rest of the night.

Now, back to today's card. I've had to do a few guy ones of late and here is. Its a variation of a golfing one I have done before.
I got a few of these Docrafts toppers with sporty themes as I thought they would come in handy.
I tend to use this embossing folder for male cards too.


Ingredients
Cream card
Brown card (Lidl)
Green card (Lidl)
Papermania embossing folder
Docrafts topper
SB Matting Basics A & B
Peanut Butter Memento Dew Drop ink (to highlight the embossing)


Had a wonderful morning at Sue's demo on Thursday. The non crafting Nesta came along as well. I think it was out of curiosity as she has been on the end of "Can't chat, Sue Wilson is on the telly" so many times hahaha! 
The funny thing was, John had put her on the list as Nesta Vipers and Sue asked as she got things underway, who was Nesta Vipers? which left my poor pal, pink faced lol!!!
Still, it was lovely to see Anne, Joy, Pauline and Kathy again.

Learned a couple of new techniques and just enjoyed seeing the good lady do what she does best. Then had another spend in the shop. . . . . . . 3 embossing folders, a stamp (just had to get John's Twas the Night one), a distress ink dropper and a spatula (don't ask!).
Then a spot of lunch on the way home. . . . . . we went retro and had scampi hahaha!!!

It was a nice interlude in a very busy week. Thankfully, I'm off for a couple of days so I can finally chill. Obviously, today's chill will be in front of the British GP (yes, I did mention I wanted that day off at my interview hahaha!!!). Jacquie and Wendy, enjoy!
Kate's lucky son is at Silverstone and didn't take me as a stowaway (or should that be Stowe-away. . . . . . .sorry none GP fans who won't know, or in fact care, what I'm talking about lol!!!)

Good wishes for the week ahead.

  6. Good morning Ang, lovely card for a man. I have used this topper myself for a keen golfers birthday card. Funny enough, it's time to make his birthday card for this year and I was wondering what to do,as I've done a golfing themed card again this year or something different. I've gone with something different this time. Janice xxx http://createdbyjan.blogspot.com

  8. Morning Ang, A good card for a golfing male, and a layout easily used with any topper, thanks.
    Enjoy your day, I think I heard that Lewis was in poll position today.
    I had to laugh with your fan story. We have to have a fan running, not for us but for the dog. He's a long haired, black, german shepherd, and struggles in this heat. When the fan goes on he lies with his nose almost against the blades and lets the air blow right down him.
    Cheers

  9. Good morning Ang, well what a change a few hours make, didn't know what to do with myself yesterday morning and today it is pouring with rain. Supposed to stop mid morning but we will see, the garden needs it. Not planning anything as there is a special event this afternoon, just hope Jenson can enjoy himself. Anyway to business , male cards, always a problem but you have certainly cracked it with this card. Now we want to see what you make with your new goodies. Have a good day, love from Jackie

  13. Great guy card Ang. They are so hard to make for aren't they?

    I'm imagining the scene - or I will when I stop laughing! We have the window wide open - but with a net screen I devised so that there are no more unwelcome visits from bats!!! You certainly didn't want to be here when a bat got in through the bedroom window!!!! One day I will tell all. Hugs Christine x

  17. Hi Ang! This is such a fabulous card for a sports guy, great image I love that embossing folder!! You had me in stitches today with your story. Funny thing, the other day I was trying to enjoy a little down time and we had a lovely rain storm going on so I opened all the windows for a nice cross breeze. Unfortunately that lovely cross breeze blew the curtains up which hit a lamp on the side stand and it landed with a smash. So much for my nice breeze. Windows closed, down time over! Stupid mother nature! haha! have a great day. hugs :)

  18. hi Ang, fabulous male card, I love that EF, just perfect, I think I have one very similar.
    Your fan story is very funny, but I hope it wan't a valuable picture it blew off.
    Couldn't see Damian in the crowd, but had no text as yet so they must be relaxing about leaving the pets, my phone never stopped yesterday wanting to know if they were OK, anyway good result for the for LH, hugs Kate x

  24. It's a lovely card I love that EF! Glad you had a great day watching Sue - you lucky duck! Perhaps one day I'll get to CE. Your story re the fan did make me laugh. You have such a great way of describing things - you should write a book. Reminded me of the time when I tried to dismantle one to clean the blades and didn't replace the cover properly Switched fan on and after a couple of secs the cover spun across the room Frisbee stylee! Fortunately it didn't do any damage
