Allsorts Challenge 632 - Masculine

It is the turn of our lovely Lynn to host the challenge this week, well I have to say that it is definitely not my cup of tea and under normal circumstances I would have really panicked about this challenge but fortunately I have found an image which I though just might be the one to use.

The image is Penny Black and called 'A winner'.

Well there are now lots and lots of super male chefs, three lived across the road from me years ago, Dad was a chef, and three of the Sons were too, Mother was a pretty mean cook as well.

I must be pretty good too as both my Daughters and family come for Sunday  Lunch and any other meals they can. My Grandsons have been brain washed by their Mum as they say I am the best cook in the world but the biggest praise that I do get is from my Son-in-Law, who's job has some of the best chefs in the world, no expense spared, and still says my cooking is the best, especially my curries.

July challenge at We Love Chocolate Baroque - Beautiful Blooms

 Good Morning a new challenge over  at We Love Chocolate Baroque.

Beautiful Blooms

For my card I have used Chocolate Baroque - Poppy Ledger.

This is just about a first for me as it is the first time I have used this stamp and the first time for ages that I have not paper pieced an image. I have no idea why not.

Please do pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely creations from the rest of the team.

Challenge 631 at Allsorts

 It is the turn of our lovely  Lynn to choose the theme at Allsorts for this weeks challenge and she has chosen...

Sun, Sea, Sand or Summer.

Our lovely sponsor again this week is Chocolate Baroque.

Chocolate Baroque are back on TV The Craft Store on Friday 9th July at 9am and 1pm, with a collection of Summery stamps including three beautiful new sets.

The stamp is from Chocolate Baroque - Ammonite (UK winner)

Three craft stencils (designs will vary)

For my card I have chosen to use an old Lily of the Valley image, well to be honest I didn't have much choice.


 For once I was pretty pleased with my colouring

The papers are also quite old and I think that they are also from LOTV.

Please do pop over to the challenge blog to see the lovely creations from the team.

Thanks for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave and I am looking forward to seeing your entries.

 These Rudolph days are really sneaking up on me, can't believe this month has gone so quickly.

So it is time for me to pop over to ScrappyMo's with my entry for June.

Three cards using the Woodware - Snowman Family, quite an old stamp but one that never dates. I love stamps like that.

On a personal note, I saw a new, youngish Dr on Thursday and it looks like there may be some movement, pity about the mask though as he seem pretty good looking and intelligent. Really concerned, which is a bit worrying. I have been thinking about these 'Old Wives sayings" and one of them has come to my mind.

I am at the end of my tether, What the heck is a tether?  

Thanks for popping by and any comments you are kind enough to leave. 

Happy Rudolph Day.
