Cap'n Jack He Aint!

But the papers are! Oooh Aargh!

He is in fact a Sugar Nellie ... the only one I possess ... have had it yonks ... only got it out of the bag this morning ... and discovered that he came with an adoption certificate ... I may send him back ... he does n't say much!

This is my first ever entry for the allsorts challenge which I found today via Shaz's fabulous blog ... and thought I would give the theme of 'Something for the boys' a go!

The papers, the ribbon, the chipboard shape are all Rusty Pickle. The Jolly Roger is a clearly defined stamp from Printworks ... and I have stamped a Penny Black greeting over the top of it. The map is an oldie from Hero Arts!

Ahoy me hearties ... a big Thank you to everyone who joined the big Tilda debate ... I had a good chuckle over many of the answers and I really appreciated your honesty.

Shiver me timbers is that the time? ... I have treasure to find!

Too Pink? Too Girly?

Indeed! Is there such a thing?

The jury is still out on that one for me! I was asked for a pink and girly card for a friend's sister and this is what I came up with!

The card was also designed to fit in with this week's Penny Black challenge which is buttons.

No prizes for guessing then that the stamp is indeed Penny Black! The stamped image and the cotton was coloured using Pro Markers [colouring cotton is a neat little trick and saves you a fortune on coloured cottons] The paper is from the Basic Grey 'Sultry' range.

I hope you are enjoying your Bank Holiday weekends - whatever you are doing!
