COOL DUDE

Hi Everyone

Wow!!!  This is early for me!!!  I have hardly wiped the sleep out of my eyes!!!  LOL!!!

Today it is my turn to post a project to the Get Funky Challenge Blog .. .. .. where as a DT we all post on different days throughout the month so that we are constantly sharing some inspiration as to what can be done with Anice's gorgeous products.  There was a fabby freebie again this month too!!!

The challenge for this month has been set by my lovely teamie Ruth .. .. and she chose the theme of "boys, boys, boys".

I wanted to do something other than a card (and fancied a play with my sewing machine) and this is what I came up with.  It was one of those rare occasions where you get a vision in your head and it actually turns out how you imagined it LOL!!!

So here it  is:







Everything I have used has come from Funky Hand with the exception of the Hot Fix studs and the Fivers!!!.  Some elements have been taken from the free paper Anice provided and some from the Papercraft Factory CD "Colour Me Happy" (Jovial Man Section).

The £5 notes are not part of a download or from the CD and not a rubber stamp either .. .. they are the result of hard work!!! 

I hope you have time to pop along to the challenge blog to see what else my other teamies have been making this month .. .. and if you have time to join in with us then so much the better.

So now I am round to putting lots of you out of your misery.  It would appear my heart was a little tricky to find last night .. .. tee hee .. .. it was a little pale (in fact nearly as pale as my little chappies cheeks!!).   I even had a few emails asking me if I had forgotten to add one.

I must admit I did make it tricky on purpose as I decided my hearts have been a bit obvious of late .. .. but torture over .. ..  here it is .. .. ...



easy when you know where to look!!!  So cancel those eye check ups everyone!!!

I was quite chuffed to think that people still bother to look for the hearts.

Even when I give a card away to people they look straight away for the heart .. .. and if it is too easy to find they actually look quite disappointed!!!   LOL!!!

Anyway, have a good day everyone.  It feels quite "close" here today and I don't think we are forecast any sunshine .. .. shame!!!

Love

    Just for the record, Jules, I ALWAYS look for the heart on your creations!! It's kind of like a treasure hunt sometimes--such FUN!! :-)

    I love your money holder too. The colors are just wonderful for a boy. And such a clever idea! Well done!!

    Ohhhhh ... now that is very awesome. What a wonderful way to give money or even a gift card.

    Well done on hiding the heart in plain sight on yesterday project. I was so busy admiring your coloring that I forgot to look.

    Hugs,

    What a great idea and just so perfect for this months freebie. You've done a great job making this look like the real thing and the stitching adds just the right touch.

    Wow! Fantastic, Jules! Love it! Great idea for a boy, but with suitable papers/embellishments, it could work just as well for a girl.

    Pretty dull and dismal here today too, but the weekend's looking a bit more promising...

    Hugs, Lynne xx

    Fabulous idea Jules and so realistic.

    Well hidden heart yesterday. I didn't manage to visit yesterday so went to have a good search as soon as I noticed you'd had to point everyone in the right direction. Guess what? I still didn't find it even though I knew which area to look in, lol!

    I'm another one who always has a little treasure hunt when I drop by.

    Hugs
