Down Time!

It has just been utter madness this week - lots of dummies being spat out (all by the same person I might add) and so those left have had to turn to and get stuck in to sort it all out! Never rains etc etc!! LOL
So that explains my absence - will have a visit to you all hopefully either today or tomorrow too - need some down time and blog trawling is VERY therapeutic!
Onto today's offering -

Those who know us know that Dear Husband is a lunatic gamer (Friday night is Game Night - Do Not Disturb under Pain Of Death) and this is just HIM... although sometimes the red mug is replaced with the bottle of beer....
Image was coloured with promarkers, a little DI added round the edges and mounted onto a scrap of card.
All the papers were from my stash and popped on a couple of metal brads.

Whilst rummaging about for something else in a never used box I found a plastic container packed with these Scrabble Tiles - purchased a long time ago and hardly ever used - come to think of it, I really don't know why I bought them in the first place and probably now I've used them on this card they'll just get stuffed away again for the next 5 years.
Away now to get the papers sorted for yet another meeting- hopefully the last one in the sorry saga- then all can just go back to normal! (Or as normal as my life ever was! LOL)

Challenges
Fab n Funky - Masculine
The Male Room - Letters
Paper Shelter - For the Boys
SOS - Lost and Found
Crafting Musketeers - Mans World  
Creative Card Crew - Sentiment

Thanks for paying me a visit today - appreciate it. 'See' you all soon. x

You know, I have scrabble tiles stashed away somewhere, too. WHY do we buy this stuff? The tiles totally work on this card, though, so congratulations for using them. :) Thanks for joining us at Shopping Our Stash!

Internet is a bit of a sore point in our house at present.! Come to think of it the house is a sore point too. Hope you get the meeting settled as you want. Hugs Mrs A.

I think this image is just perfect for a guy card. Love the way you've used the scrabble letters. Thanks so much for playing along with The Male Room this week!

Some things never change. Back in the 1970s in my days as a Scouter and on several committees, there was always someone throwing there rattles out of their prams, and the faithful few of us having to clean the mess up!!!
Wonderful card :o)

Hi Viv
your card is just perfect.
I also have some of those scrabble tiles somewhere - unused!! They are probably with my unused peel-offs - remember them!?

Heidi Weaver said...

Wonderful card! The Scrabble tiles are perfect with this image and really have an impact.

Pia S said...

It sounds good that hubby has a gaming hobby, it gives you some extra time to spend on your own as well:) I know quite a few men this image would be perfect for. Great colors and I like the scrabble letter design too.

Susan Powell said...

My husband's a bit of a gamer too - I need to get that image. Your card is perfect - love the added scrabble tiles!

I love your masculine card. Would you let me showcase your card and share a link to your blog post in what I call Manly Monday? It's a post on my blog where I share masculine cards (of all ages) as inspiration for my readers. If you are interested, please email me a direct link to your card so I can find it at grohcm at gmail dot com and I will add you to the lineup for the following Monday. I hope to hear from you.
