A fond farewell to our Guest Designers Becca and Pat K who have provided us

Jackie Trinder

I have crafted one way or another for as long as I can remember. About eight years ago

 I noticed that some people were making handmade cards, especially at Christmas, and I decided to have  a go myself. Since then I haven’t looked back and the house is now full of my crafty stash. Stamping and die-cutting are a passion and I have many stamps and dies.  Just recently I have applied my card making skills to scrap booking some of our memorable moments it is a wonderful way to treasure a memory. I am thrilled to be Guest Designer for Cardz 4 Guyz this month. 

Nazeema Bastian

My name is Nazeema Bastian, but I am known as "Calypso" in the blogging community and I live in Southern California. I have an extremely supportive husband and three wonderful boys. When I'm not enthralled within my books, running after a busy 5 and 2 yr olds and/or running back and forth for sports, you can find me in my crafty corner. I have been crafting since 1998, but only started blogging around 2010. I do not have a particular style that I tend to stick to, I just do as I feel and want. I do love to try new techniques and I am always in for a good sketch. I am very excited and honored to be a Guest Designer at Cards 4 Guys, this month.

Challenge # 64

Something beginning with the letter S

Helen has chosen something a little different for you this week. 

We need you to add very clearly what on your card begins with the letter S, 

We don't want to go looking for it. It should be the most prominent focal point

We are looking for more than a Square card for your letter S. 

The Design Team cards below hopefully will inspire and guide you.
