A Man Card and an Apology/Warning


Hi girls. Thank you for calling in on my blog. I hope you enjoy your visit here and perhaps find something that will bring a smile. I hope all is well in your corner of blogland and that your crafting is going well.
Before I get to my card I would like to put on record an apology to some of you who are on my emailing address list and warn you all about a scam that seems to be about.
I received an email from a dear blogging friend (which she did not send) inviting me to join her on a site called "Live Health Club". This is a genuine site but the email when you open it gives them access to your address list whether or not you accept the offer to join up. Worse still they ask for your email account password!!! If you give your password they have complete access to your account. They use the address list to send an email supposedly from you inviting your address list to join you on their site. If you got such an email supposedly from me please delete it without opening it. To be safe I have checked all my account settings to make sure that nothing has been altered and I have changed my password. If you get such an email and open it you should do likewise. I apologise if any of you got such an email from my account but I did not send it. Please be warned.
Now on to the card I have posted today. This is a card I made for my Brother-in-Law's birthday some time ago but have never posted. I am not entering it into any challenges. Being a man card it took me out of my comfort zone a bit. The image is "Bird in a circle" from Hero Arts and I used Copics to colour it. The design papers are "Gentle Impressions" by Trace Industries plus an unknown. I used cardstock as a mount. The sentiment is by Stampendous  and the ribbons are from my stash.
I hope you like this card, and, as always, I would love to read your opinions if you have time to leave a comment.
I hope your week starts well and that you enjoy your crafting. Above all stay safe and healthy.

  2. Thanks for the heads-up hun! I've had a few of this type of thing in the recent past from various addy's and various so-called sites, so I'm wise to them now and just ditch the lot when they come my way.
    Awesome guy card hun! Hope you are braced for the wind coming our way. . .
