we had over a hundred entries for our last challenge which is great.&amp;nbsp; Let's hope we can interest so many of you again with this one, which is sponsored by &lt;a href="http://scribbledkidz.weebly.com/"&gt;Scribbled Kidz&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; The theme is Fancy Folds, by which we mean, anything but the basic square fold card.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You could do a stepper or a joy fold or any number of fun folds, we'd love to see what you come up with.&amp;nbsp; The prize is 3 digis from Scribbled Kidz,&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So our challenge this time is sponsored by the fabulous, Paper Pretties, and the theme is Animals.&lt;br /&gt;

I think you'll agree they did a great job.&amp;nbsp; Hopefully, you're all raring to go and just need the rules:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. Your card must be new for this challenge and follow the theme set.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Your card must be for a man or a boy.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Your post must mention Cards for Men and contain a link back to this post.&lt;br /&gt;
4. You can combine your entry with others to a maximum of ten challenges.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The challenge will run from now until midnight (BST) on 12 May 2013.&amp;nbsp; Enter a link to your post (not just your blog) in the link list below.&amp;nbsp; If it's not there for some reason, leave a comment and I'll add it in before the draw.&amp;nbsp; Good luck.&lt;br /&gt;

Todays Challenge is a &lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;"Anything Goes"&lt;/span&gt; one and I know how much we all love this one so we are expecting a big turn out for it, but before I go any further two of our Design Team have had to stand down because of prior engagements and they are Viv and Sandra, we are so going to miss both of these very talented girls, but all the Team want to wish them all the best for the future.&lt;br /&gt;
And now we have a brand new sponsor this fortnight and that is&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white; color: #757575; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;"&gt;Hi 
my name is Beth, I am 19 years old and am studying a Degree in illustration at 
Blackpool University.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: garamond, &amp;quot;new york&amp;quot;, times, serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #757575; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;I 
started drawing images for my Mum , who made cards with them and then she put 
them on her blog . She got lots of great comments and people saying i should 
sell them - so here we are !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;i&gt;
&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #757575; font-family: Arial,Tahoma,Helvetica,FreeSans,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: white;"&gt;I 
hope you enjoy my images and would love to see any creations you make with 
them&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
We were so lucky to have been given several images to play with and the team have taken that on board and have created some stunning cards with them.&lt;/div&gt;

Didnt I tell you what stunning cards they were? Anyway as we are now two girls down on our Design Team, and Donna has decided to run a DT Call at the same time as the Challenge, so if you are interested in joining our very talented Design Team, and you able to create a card every fortnight following a theme that is set, and also have it uploaded to the DT Blog in time for the Challenge to be posted on the Monday, please can you add DT at the end of your name on your entry.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
And now please dont forget to visit the girls and thank them for all their hard work and leave them some love to show how much you appreciate it.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;
Donna will add the inlinkz as soon as she is able to, can you put your card link in the comment box until she does. Sorry for the inconvience and don't forget to add DT if your interested in joining us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you don't&amp;nbsp;know how to add your card here is the code&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: #e69138;"&gt;&amp;lt;a href="&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Insert your link&lt;/span&gt;"&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; You insert your card link in the&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
space indicated, you write this whole code in the comment box at the bottom of this Challenge, then click on publish.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Edit: &amp;nbsp;Thank you so much Shirley for stepping in at the last minute. &amp;nbsp;Sadly my Grandad passed away last Monday so you can understand why I've taken a back seat this week. &amp;nbsp;I have now entered Mr Linky in and will make sure everyone's cards are linked up with a number before the draw. &amp;nbsp;The normal challenge rules apply and the finish date is midnight BST (British Summer Time) on 29th April 2013. - Donna xx&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
So our theme this time is 'April Fools' which means we want to see your humorous side.&amp;nbsp; I always find it a challenge to make funny cards but it's good to have a challenge every now and then.&amp;nbsp; The sponsor is &lt;a href="http://www.letraset.com/"&gt;Letraset&lt;/a&gt; and we have a 6-pack of pens up for grabs:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: #cfe2f3;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Hi. I am Heather Dennis. I am a homeschooling mother of 2 wonderful children, the wife of 12 years to the love of my life, a Christian and the owner of Fresh Brewed Designs. I have loved to draw and create ever since I was a child. My daughter has inherited my love of art and recently inspired me to start creating again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;All the images in my shop are hand drawn. I offer a wide range of images from coffee, cute and inspirational. I also love to create custom drawn images, so if you are looking for anything in particular, please feel free to drop me an email.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We had the chance to use some of Heather's wonderful images and here's the result:&lt;br /&gt;

Avilable in 148 colours, they give incredible tonal range and can be applied to a diverse range of materials, not just paper and card. ProMarkers produce vivid, bright colours right through to the subtlest pastel shades - the translucent inks can also be overlaid and blended, even further extending the range of shades and hues on offer. ProMarker's quality nibs and inks provide flawless colour lay down with consistent coverage and no unsightly streaking.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
