Something For A Man
I find it difficult to make cards for men (and frequently end up in a shop instead, lol), so this was definitely a challenge for me, and I decided to make a little photo album with my Cinch:
Our challenge this fortnight is sponsored by:
who make some fabulous rubber and clear stamps
and are offering a prize to the winner of our random draw.
Apologies for this post being so short - both my little grandson and my daughter are both ill at the moment and I have been to the hospital three times over the last couple of days. I'm hoping they start to feel a little better tomorrow.
Also, my laptop decided it will work no more last week. I am now set up on another one for the time being but, needless to say, I am a little behind on my commenting but will catch up with my friends and new followers (a big hello!) during this week.
Please pop over and have a look at the fabulous inspiration the rest of the team have to show you - you will be impressed, I can assure you!
I hope you will find the time to join us.
Bye for now.

Hi Maria, lookin this,
oh I miss my BIA it's been at the cottage the whole winter!
Fabulous album, beautiful vintage touch and textures;-))m
Love it very much Maria and this time it is not a wall hanging! (lol)
So sorry to hear your daughter and grandson aren't feeling well Maria and wish them both a speedy recovery.
This project is gorgeous - you have some brilliant techniques up your sleeve! The 'stamped in the wet embossing enamel' title is great and I love the cracked image too.
Take care,

Good Grief Maria you are having a frightful time of it sending positve thoughts and wishes that everyone (machines included) are soon all OK. This wonderful little brag book for a man suggests that our Queen of Wall Hangings is becoming Queen of books! Love it XOXO Zoe

Hi my lovely friend Maz, hope everyone is feeling better today, you really are having a rotten time at the moment.
You have made this note book with your usual flair and talent, it's stunning with so much detail. Love the resin, I really think I might have to investigate this. Julia xxxxx
i just love this Maria- all the details are perfection! Debi x
Hi Maz - this is just lovely, great colours and image with those cool crackle and distress details...hope your daughter and Ethan are feeling better soon..Esther xx

This is sensational. What appeals so much is the use of textures, such as stamping into the embossing powder and the amazing use of UV resin.
Such a special project you created.
The poor souls, I sure hope today sees both of them feeling so much better. You must be exhausted.
Take good care and sending a bundle of wishes your way.

A fabulous project Maria and a great gift for a man.

Hi Maria, I hope that your daughter and Ethan are recovering ok and that all will be well with them very soon.
This is so brilliant as always Maria. Love all the wonderful techniques you have integrated - it looks fabulous. Will remember to try lemon juice!
