Wheely Nice.....Here Come The Boys DT

Good Morning

Wow mammoth journey yesterday for our trip to Chester, 6 hours to get down there, traffic was so heavy plus there was an accident, but we got back in just over 4. It was worth it though the campus is fab, its like a little town in itself!   I sat through an hour lecture on Geography, my chance I thought for a little snooze but no it was actually really interesting, I did not realise there was so much to this subject and so many opportunities too. There are some awesome field trips which include the Norwegian glaciers, New York, Valencia to name a few.  I really liked Chester too, so different from down here wouldn't mind  living there myself!   So we will see what happens, we have a few more closer to home to look at but I think this will be hard to beat and Jamie loved it!

Anyway enough rambling from me and onto the new challenge at Here Come The Boys which is

WHEELY NICE......................self explanatory me thinks, if it has wheels it counts, (remember to keep it masculine themed too!)

Our very own Sharon is heading up this one and is also our sponsor,she has put up a fab prize too!  You could bag yourself a  set of Flexmarkers plus she is offering 5% discount to all Here Come The Boys followers in her on-line craft Shop EWE 2 CAN CRAFT, check out the challenge post here for all the details and good luck and THANK YOU Sharon....

So here is my card, I chose an image by Mo Manning for this challenge.

Ingredients
Stamp - Skater Boy - Mo Manning
Colouring Medium - Copics
Papers - not sure using up scraps
Gel pen for faux stitching
Buttons Mix
Cardstock for matting - Stampin Up
Sentiment - Ticket LOTV, Stampin Up 4U Tiny Tag

 I would like to enter into:
One Stop Craft - Just for Men
Ruby's Rainbow - For the Boys

thanks for poppin in, I will try and catch up with everyone later today.
Have a great week
