You'll see their work over the next couple of challenges and I'm sure you'll love their work as much as we do.  Congratulations to you all.

Winners and Top 3 (challenges 20 & 21)

So, I'm back with winners and top3 awards to give away.

For Challenge 20, we had a $25 gift certificate from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I used random.org to generate the winning number and it chose #1 - Salma.  Please email me on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll pass your info on to the sponsor.

The top 3 for challenge 20 were:


Well done girls.  Grab our top 3 blinkie from the sidebar and add it to your own.

For Challenge 21, we had 3 digistamps of choice from Fresh Brewed Designs.  Again I used random.org and the winner was #6 - Hazel.  Take a look over at Fresh Brewed Designs and let me know which 3 images you'd like.  Email me your choices on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk

The top 3 for challenge 21 were:

Finally, I'd like to thank everyone who made an entry for our DT call.   After much deliberation, we have managed to whittle it down and I will be emailing the winners over the next few days.  We really appreciate the efforts you all put in, but we (unfortunately) couldn't take you all.

That's it for now!

Challenge 21 - Make Us Laugh (and a DT call!)

Good morning everyone,

I'm a little late with this today - I normally schedule the night before but didn't have time.  Well done with all the entries for the last challenge.  Keep an eye out for the winners post and top 3 later on.

The challenge this time is to 'Make Us Laugh' and we have a wonderful sponsor, Fresh Brewed Designs.




HI! I am Heather, a christian, homeschooling mommy of two. I started cardmaking in 2007 and have not been able to stop! 
I love creating with pretty papers, ribbons and sparkle. I am also the artist and owner of my own rubber stamp and digi shop: Fresh Brewed Designs. Fresh Brewed designs is an online shop that opened in November 2010 selling a wide variety of rubber and digital stamps as well as specializes in many coffee themed images. It started with a dream and with the prodding of a very supportive husband, family and friends, with a lot of help and a lot of headaches:) and a lot of lessons and prayers turned into something bigger.
Fresh Brewed Designs has become a place to share, create, laugh and build lasting friendships.
Our motto is:
Fresh Brewed Designs... where creativity is brewed fresh daily.
We always have a pot brewing, so stop by and join us for a cuppa whenever you want!!!


Heather has donated a prize of 3 digi stamps so get along and have a look at what she's got!  The design team got some great images to play with.  Here's some of our ideas:








I hope they've given you some ideas - we can't wait to see what you come up with.  It says in the title that we're having a DT call.  We're looking for 2-4 new team members to join us from November.  You need to be able to make a card each fortnight (using sponsor images if we get them), comment on entries on a rota basis and generally just join in our happy team.  Making Cards for Men each time is not always easy, but the challenge is rewarding and you end up with a great stockpile of cards for those unexpected occasions.  If you're interested, then enter the challenge and put 'DT' after your name.  Good Luck.

Here's some rules:

1. Your card must be new for this challenge and must follow the theme set.
2. There must be a link in your post back to Cards for Men
3. Your card must be for a boy/man.

The challenge will run until midnight BST (British Summer Time) on 23 October 2011.  Leave a link to your card (not just your blog) in the link list below.  If it's not there for some reason, leave a comment and I'll add it in before the draw.
