Jane would like to see SQUARE cards only. Choose your own
theme and occasion. It is pure coincidence that 4 of the DT have
chosen a nautical theme. (How strange is that?)

Please say Hello to Melanie our Guest Designer for May




Hello my name is Melanie. I was delighted to be asked to guest design for Cardz 4 Guyz for the month of May and look forward to sharing the cards I make with you.
I live in Staffordshire, England with my Partner and Stepson. I work in a secondary school, so have lovely long holidays to indulge my hobby. I do enjoy making girly cards, but have a lot of men in my life. As well as my step son, I have a Step daughter and a lovely six year old step grandson - so I do make a lot of men's cards too. I also love wildlife so enjoy making cards with wildlife images. 
I have been crafting forever, but card making for about 15 years. Card making suits my fickle nature as there is always a new technique to learn and you don't have to spend years to get some good results unlike other crafts.
Thank you for reading about me and I hope you find inspiration from my cards. Keep it crafty!
