Good afternoon to all my lovely friends and followers and a special welcome to my new follower on Google + Emma. I've finally gotten round to doing this post the weekend seems to have passed me by and I did do a lot of crafting but some of it was commissions that I cannot post at present. The card I'm posting today is a man card yes a man card. I made it a few weeks ago not decided on a recipient yet but have a few male birthdays coming up. The stamp is a one I've used before but it does make a good man card especially if they like cars or have ever owned an old style mini.

Hi Carole, searched you out after you left your lovely comment on my blog so now I'm your latest follower too :) Congratulations on your 100th post! That's a great man card, though I can think of a few girls who would love a mini cooper too. My first car was a 1960s mini and I loved it. Elizabeth xx
