Alf

Good Morning Everyone, 
I hope you all had a good weekend. Our was very busy. Paul ran the 'Great North Run' yesterday in 2hours 18mis and so far has raised almost £800 for Macmillans Cancer Support. His legs are aching a little this morning but it's all for a good cause. One of our Son's friends is receiving treatment for cancer at the minute, he's only 8 years old but he's a little fighter. He was the mascot for Manchester United at their game on Saturday this weekend and it really gave him a boost!
I've just got a quick card to share today. I need to build up my stock of mens cards before my next fair.
This is Alf from Digistamp Boutique. (Sorry - wonky photo!!)
I've coloured him with promarkers and the background papers are from DCWV - LaCreme Stack.

I've used a Die namics Fishtail stax die and the sentiment is from a Crafter's Companion set.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-
Digi Stamp Boutique - September Challenge
The Squirrel and the Fox - It's Raining Men Totally Papercrafts - Birthday Boys
My Mums Craft Shop - Boys Only
Whimsey Stamps Challenge - Masculine Cards
Crafty Catz - Men/Boys

After doing so well in the run and feeling very happy with himself, Paul came home to find out that he has won the Lumix/Panasonic Photographer of the Year 2013!! Talk about getting big headed!! lol...and I struggle to take a straight photo of my card!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit me and for all your lovely comments.
