It's a man thing

Morning all. Here I am, again, this time with my DT contribution for

Oldie But A Goodie

Our theme this fortnight, chosen by Helen  is

Fathers Day/Masculine.


I decided to go with the "Masculine" and used a Meljen digi coloured with Pro/Flexmarkers to compliment the,quite frankly, fabulous papers. This is my first attempt at a Dutch Fold Card and was surprised at how easy it was to make. The "old" items used,  in addition to the digi, were my sentiment stamps.

I am joining in here

Good morning Sarah, just doing catch up, loving all your makes since I have been away on holiday, had a great time but of course it's back to the job that pays for these trips, but the girls were pleased to see me yesterday morning - so I can't be the bad a Nanny. Must have a look at this fold as I love the idea of it. Hazel xx
