Hi everyone, a belated happy 4th July to all of our US followers, hope it was a good one for you.

One of our Design Team, Janice, has been poorly for several weeks now, she is slowly on the mend. We would like you to join us in wishing her a speedy recovery and we hope to see her crafting along with us as soon as she is feeling crafty again. Best wishes to you Janice.

Guest Designer
We are thrilled to welcome our Guest Designer joining the team for the remainder of July. 

Hello my name is Julie-Ann mum of 4 and nanny to Charlie.I will be 49 in a few weeks, not quite sure how that happened ! Lucky to be married to my best friend Bob.  I have been crafting since my great aunty taught me to knit when i was 5 years old, since then i have tried all types of crafting and found paper crafting about 10 years ago. I am honored to be invited to join Cardz 4 Guyz Challenge as a guest designer, as i am one of the weird folk who love making cards for the men in my life. Crafty hugs Julie Ann


Our challenge this week has been chosen by Jan,  which is
D.I.Y. 
(Do It Yourself)
How many of our guys class themselves as being expert DIY workers? I'm sure there is at least one member of family or friendship who would be suited for this type of card. So let us see the card you can create.

Let us start with our Guest Designer Julia Ann, followed by Jan and the remainder of the team.
