Pile it On-DT Card-Oh Boy!

Morning everyone! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. It's operation clearout here this weekend, we've been getting rid of loads of old stuff and since I'm scheduling this but writing it last night (does that makes sense? hehe) I'll be at a car boot sale trying to sell said stuff! The money will be going in the stamp fund jar:) Anyways....

Since it is Sunday, that means it's Pile it On day and it's a fab challenge again! This week is also my last design team project. The theme this week is called Oh Boy! I know most people struggle a bit with cards for the boys but I do find them quite fun to make, nice change and all. Plus...Sugar Nellie does some fantastic boys stamps so you'll never be stuck for the 'right' image:) I've used one of the new Mary Hall stamps that you can buy as a single or as part of the full collection and there's some fab ones in there. I don't go mad with the combining this week, and I think it's cos I actually had done quite a few earlier in the week I started to run out of challenges! But, I've used the sketch at Friday Sketchers, and of course PIO and ABC challenge which this week is A is for Anything.

Stuff: Sugarnellie stamp by Mary Hall, BasicGrey boxer papers, distress inks in weathered wood and peeled paint, buttons from stash, inkadinkado sentiment, raffia from stash, cosmo cricket ribbon, brads from stash, sewing machine

Make sure you pop by the PIO challenge blog to check out the dt creations and there's a handy list of pretty much all the challenges in blogland to give you a helping hand:) Look forward to seeing your creations! Thanks so much for stopping by and any comments you might leave-they make my day!
