Morning readers,
Hope you all enjoyed your weekend but, since it's a Bank Holiday for much of the UK .... it's not quite over yet ... for most of us. That must explain the wind, rain and a surprisingly chilly start to yesterday too!
I've a make to share with you today ....... I recently sold a number of my masculine themed birthday cards so, today, I've been working on replenishing stocks!

Still going out for a walk but, sometimes, I like to ring the changes so .... yesterday I took the car!!! I know, RIGHT? How can you exercise if you take the car? We are lucky enough to have some nice walks around where I live but sometimes you just want a change .... this park has a nice parking lot, a well laid out perimeter path and (though I didn't use it) a nice coffee shop too.

Yes, there certainly is a chill in the air, could be forgiven for thinking it's November this last week.
The All and Create stamps really do lend themselves to masculine cards, many thanks for joining in with our 'Circles' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

Lovely masculine card Kathy, super grungy design. Great use of your snippets on your beautiful little ATC too. I love seeing photos of the local(ish) places you've visited and trying to work out where they are. xx
Oh I am loving the grungy card with your new stamp set. Fabulous.
Cute little ATC too.
I was lazy and didn't go for a walk yesterday . . . My excuse was the high winds we were still experiencing. I'll be out and about today tho.

I love the card with your new Aall and Create set Kathy and perfect for this masculine make, and love the pretty foliage stamped and glittered on to a snippet of leftover card for this ATC and a great green stencilled background too. Another super walk, and good to take the car occasionally to go a little further afield. x
Fabulous male card. Thank you for joining us at Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog
