Happy weekend everyone. It's been a bit cooler in the UK this week and oh my, the mornings are darker and the nights are drawing in too. Anyway, weather report over and the real reason for my post today.
We are Masculine at Allsorts Challenge this week, a genre that fills me with dread when the need arises. However LOTV came to the rescue by way of one of their little, once available, Sketch books that you colour in yourself. I coloured this little fellow and his dog with my Lyra pencils.
In my part of the UK lots of properties are built of hamstone which is quarried from Ham Hill about eight miles from where we live. It's honey coloured so I tried a hamstone wall which really hasn't photographed well!! I was,however, very happy with his flat cap!!
It's been a very long time since I've been happy with a man type card but I am happy with this one. I hope that you will join us and if, like me, you are not keen on cards for the fellas you can always opt for our Anything Goes.
As always, we have some fabulous sponsors and now that my laptop is behaving I can share a little teaser of what's up for grabs for this and the coming challenges and the links to our generous sponsors.

Many thanks, as always, for sharing your time with me xx

If I didn't know better I would think you knew one of our neighbouring farmers, I'm convinced this is him right down to the dog. Perfect for the guys.

A great masculine card Sarah, this LOTV image has been very useful for me over the years but you've got the dog colouring all wrong! ;)
The forecast is grim up north, no sign of any lengthy dry spells this week. :(

Great masculine card Sarah, cute image beautifully coloured. I don't like the way the evenings are drawing in so quickly either. Have a good weekend.
