ONE FOR THE GUYS
we had Girly Girls a few weeks back so we can't forgot the guys...and with Father's Day just a week away...a chance to get your card made in plenty of time and if that isn't appropriate...I'm sure there will be men in your lives who would appreciate a card.

It's up to you what you make...just have fun, the only RULE being that you use at least ONE PENNY BLACK IMAGE, SENTIMENT or STICKEROO, there have been quite a few folks recently who obviously chose to ignore this, so if your entry does not include a Penny Black Image, it will be removed from the entries...sorry folks but rules are rules.

All you need to do to enter is leave your name and a direct link to your entry with Mr Linky so that we can come visit you and if you don't have a blog, just e-mail your entry to Kath or Beth and we will pop it on the blog for you and yes you will qualify for the prize draw.
Speaking of which...we have a yummy prize this week for one lucky winner who will be chosen at random and announced next Saturday
