It's time for a new challenge at Cards for Men...

It's time for a brand new challenge at Cards for Men and we have a fab theme for you - 'Use a Key' (n.b. card must be for a male). Our fab sponsor this time is Prairie Fairy Designs...

"
Hello! I am Roberta from Prairie Fairy Designs. I am a new digital stamp company featuring artwork not only created by me but also my two kids, ages 9 and 12. They are featured on the site as the Fairy Princess and the Prairie Prince. I have been an artist for as long as I can remember and have always loved to create. Two years ago my sister-in-law invited me to a rubber stamp party. I laughed and said 'Maybe I will buy something if I can use it to stamp on canvases'. Needless to say, I was hooked! Two years later and a lot of learning about computers, I have finally accomplished my goal. While digital stamping is relatively new in the papercrafting scene, it is what I believe to be such an amazing tool. Printed images have such clarity and vibrancy and gone is the need to re stamp an image because you didn't press hard enough or maybe you pressed too hard! They are also a lot easier to store and they can be reprinted over and over again. The fact that you can rotate and flip files, print them off the size of a postage stamp or as large as a scrapbook page makes them such a versatile medium. It is my sincere hope that I can help anyone who has hesitations about using digital images to embrace these amazing creative tools. If you have any questions about going digital, check out the site and the blog for more information. So head on over to http://www.prairiefairydesigns.com/ and check it out!"

Please pop over to the CFM challenge blog to check out the details of our new challenge. As always the DT have made some wonderful cards, please do pop across and have a peek and have a go at the challenge while you're there. So onto my DT card, I have used a fab digi image from Prairie Fairy Designs called Man O Man, you can purchase him here. I teamed him with my fave papers at the moment (Echo Park For The Record) and a sentiment I found online. The card is for my clever brother (shhh, don't tell him I think he is clever!) who has recently been offered a new job.

Papers - For the Record by Echo Park from My Mum's Craft Shop
