We just came back yesterday from a couple of days in Whitby stayed at a lovely place called The Marine on the harbour and this is a photo I took yesterday morning from our small balcony what a view we just wished it was warmer to sit out with a glass of wine. Never mind the reason we went was for the Jazz night and we had a great evening. I'm sure this will be added to our return list for the future.

My card today is one I made a few weeks ago at my craft group. We had planned to do encaustic art that day but it was cancelled so we made things from the stash in the Craft Group cupboard. I selected this decoupage image and some matching papers and made this man card. I only realised when I got home that the image is actually St Mary's Lighthouse at Whitley Bay not far from me and a place I visited a lot as a child searching for winkles with my Dad very happy days!!
I think its turned out Ok as men cards go never my favourites.

A brilliant male card, I always struggle embellishing male cards so I really love your charm! The view from your balcony looks beautiful, I'm glad you had a great time at the Jazz night.

Great male card Carole! I love Whitby it always brings back memories of my Dad and especially the winkles LOL we used to go to Runswick Bay and the climb back up was horrendous with a bucket full of them but so much fun have a great weekend huggles Sue xxx
ReplyDeleteLovely view from your room! I'm happy you both had a fab time in Whitby.
ReplyDeleteGreat guy card! The image is really nice and the charm and chain is a great addition. I don't do men's cards very often either. Have a great weekend. Debra x
This is a great male card. Love the details and design.
ReplyDeleteYour photo of seaside is beautiful. Thank you for letting me to follow your blog.
I am looking forward to your next project.
Happy crafting! Have a lovely weekend! Natalia xx
Hello Carole. Thank you for the lovely comments on my princess card. Glad to hear you both had a nice break at Whitby, it looks lovely. We tried to get there last summer but had car troubles & had to come back. Hopefully we will get there this year. I think you did a great job on this men's card, just shows that sometimes it does us good to make cards on a whim & not planned. Have a creative weekend.
