Cards for Sandy

It's my nephew's birthday later this month and I've made 2 cards for him, one from us and one from Gran and Grandad.  This first one will be from us.  I've used Greeting Farm Edward (as he really reminds me of Sandy), coloured with promarkers, 2 papers from my wonderful Costco scrapbook set and Cuttlebug Stars embossing folder with Gemstones card.
Challenges:
Our Creative Corner - It's Embossable
Sketch Saturday - Sketch (funnily enough!)

The second is for Gran to give him and I've managed to ink up the boy from the Hanglar set I won from Elaine.  He's rather cute, isn't he?  He's been coloured with promarkers in very boy colours, cut with Nesties label 2 (thanks Clare x), embossed with Swiss Dots folder and sanded and some Antique Linen and Frayed Burlap Distress Inks around the outside to try to toughen it up a bit.  The papers are a free download from Summer Driggs - They're called "Boy Oh Boy" and I love them - used them loads in the past!
Challenges:
Creative Inspirations - Recycle something (the rafia from flowers)
Papertake Weekly - Old, New (stamp), Borrowed (nesties), Blue
Fab 'n' Funky - Spotty, dotty & stripy

And finally, another male card using some of the scraps (and the circle that wasn't the right size!).
Challenges:
Secret Crafter - It's a man's world
Charisma Cardz - Teddy Bears
Cards for Men - Off on an adventure
