Cards for Chaps

The Theme of the challenge at Less is More this week is Masculine!  
So I guess it could be for a chap, or an image of a chap...whatever link one's mind can conjure up!
Here are a few of mine!

This is a really simple one. I downloaded the image from the internet and added the sentiment, then stamped with a variety of splatty stamps in a variety of colours. I think I used Paper Artsy and Stamplorations!
Job done.
This is another CASE of Anita's fab card. I think her design is just ace! We are so lucky to have her on the DT at "Less is More" The 'happy' is Wplus 9 and the birthday from PTI.

I made this at the same time as one I blogged yesterday, but with the wording reversed...ie the happy is computer generated and the birthday die cut! I'm not sure which way around I prefer it.

This image, which I coloured some time ago, has been sculling around my craft room for ages so I thought it was about time it was utilised. It's from LOTV with a Penny Black die-cut sentiment!

I shall be going to stay with a friend from Sunday for a few days. She is a widow who lives alone and has just undergone surgery for bowel cancer, so she will be having me as a little friend and helper from when she comes out of hospital until she feels ready to cope on her own! She has done really well and has a really positive attitude which I'm sure will aid her recovery! My husband is happy to cater for himself whilst I'm away, bless him!

    Fab cards, Chrissie, and all so different too. I don't know why I struggle with masculine so much! Thanks again for the lovely shout out and for CASEing my card again, I think it looks great in the earthy colours for a guy. Love the text one too, such a great design for making multiples...may have to CASE yours now! :) xx

    All unique and fabulous Chrissie! Fun and right on trend with the first, another brilliant CAS case of Anita's card on the second, obviously those vibrant colours appeal to me in the third one and yikes you just can't beat that vintage little fella ... I almost used him too! Phew!

    Gorgeous cards, Chrissie! Love the splatters and silhouettes on the you rock card - my boys would love that! The cute little boy is a lovely image too. A great range of guy cards to get us going :)

    Great cards, Chrissie - I particularly like the "You Rock" one - those bright splatters are fab. Enjoy your time with your friend - I hope she makes a quick and complete recovery.
