Challenge #200 - All About Boys

Hello it's Alex here bringing you Challenge #200 which is All About Boys! I'm a loud and proud boy Mama so this is the perfect theme for me to present!

Masculine cards are often in short supply and we all have a male in our lives to document whether he be family, friend or furry!

Before we jump into all of the amazing inspiration from our design team, we would like to introduce our Guest Designer, Helen Nile and show her fantastic card she created for this challenge:

"I'm a card making addict and I love my stamps, digi stamps, patterned papers and Promarkers.  I'm lucky enough to be part of the Design Teams for several digi stamp companies, a craft shop and various challenge blogs.  I love to share what I make and challenges are a great way to see what everyone else in the crafting world is doing!  I work full time in a care home as an Activities Coordinator organizing activities and entertainment for our lovely residents."


"I used a Stampin' Up stamp set called 'Well Dressed' to make my card.  It's a new set that I've been waiting to use!  The card is typical of my style - CAS with layers

Thank you, Helen, for designing with us! To our readers, please take a few minutes to visit Helen on her social media accounts and say hello:




Today I'm sharing a scrapbook layout about my boy (along with a process video) and some examples of masculine cards too!

I created a boy themed card fit for any occasion!

I made this card for a friends son who is celebrating a birthday this week.

This is easy one for me with our new grandson!

CHALLENGE # 199 - Happy May Day Image Inspiration

Hope you all had a fun National Scrapbooking Day on the weekend! Happy May! Heather here, I found this amazing image for you as inspiration for today's project! It was perfect for the first start of May, especially since most of us are still going to be inside for awhile.


I created a super bright card using lots of florals and fun fonts just for this challenge. I couldn't resist adding in the little emoji heart faces as well.

I was inspired by the colors, hearts, and butterflies that can be found in the image.

I found these springy Die-cuts and I loved the record!  Celebrate spring!

The colors and flowers in the image made me think of this adorable Doodlebug Spring collection that I've been hanging onto for a while, just perfect for documenting my kiddos dying Easter eggs last month!
