All good things must come to an end....

You may have noticed, I've not been able to keep up with the challenges and winners for Cards for Men of late.  I just have family demands that keep me occupied and I have to prioritise.  It's been 4 years and with regret, that was the last challenge for Cards for Men.  I started this blog to highlight the need to make more of Male cards and I believe that there has been a huge change in the availability of images and accessories specifically aimed at Men's Cards.  There's also a lot more dedicated challenge blogs around.  Hopefully, we had something to do with that.

I'd like to thank all the Design Team members (past and present) but particularly, Shirley and Patricia who have been around since challenge 1.  Thankyou everyone xx

So now the final list of winners:

Challenge 18
The prize of a $10 Gift Certificate from Fresh Brewed Designs is won by #7 - Fabiola.  Congratulations, Fabiola, email me on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll pass your details on to the sponsor.

Challenge 19
The prize of a $5 Gift Certificate from Digital Delights is won by #56 - Turid.  Congratulations, Turid, email me on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll pass your details on to the sponsor.

Challenge 20
The prize of 7 digis from Bugaboo Stamps is won by #12 - Fabiola.  Congratulations, Fabiola (again), email me on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll sort out your prize.

The prize of a $20 Gift Certificate from The Paper Shelter is won by #46 - Sarah T.  Congratulations, Sarah, email me on cardsformen@donnasden.co.uk and I'll pass your details on to the sponsor.
