Happy Birthday Aaron!

It's Vanessa's eldest Son's birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY AARON and hope you have a great day! which leads me on to the card I have to show...it's the one I made him so hope you received it in time! Really quite difficult to make cards for boys who are 11 so here's what I did.

The image is courtesy of Fran and I've coloured it with Brushables. Cardstock is Bazzill and paper is Daisy Bucket. Used my SU punch to make the tab and fixed it to the card with some eyelets from my stash. Xtreme stamp is from Rubbadubadoo and "Totally Special" stamp is from Autumn Leaves (I think!).

Feeling a bit down in the mouth today as Chelsea lost the football last night and haven't heard from Tony this morning so he must be really depressed! as he got up at 4.00 in the morning to watch the match!! Never mind, we'll be back!!

Week 2 of Techniques

It’s the second week of Tando’s FB Live and the tutorial was by Jane Royston. This week the colours are more my style. I didn’t have the exact supplies so had to improvise a little. This was the end result... I love doing these tutorials.  I put aside time for me on a Saturday morning and just get lost in the moment...all worries are forgotten for an hour or so.  I would highly recommend it.

Chocolate Somethings

Friday again and Half Term has started! The boys finished school yesterday so hopefully, we've got a fun day together! The challenge on Stamp Something this week is chocolate - everybody's favourite! and there's one stamp I turn to when that word is mentioned. I've followed the sketch on Mojo Monday for this card. The image is from Penny Black and has been coloured with Promarkers. Cardstock is Bazzill Bling and papers are Doodlebug. Matted the image onto some c.s. which has been run through the Cuttlebug and threaded some ribbon through using SU slot punch. Finally added a brad from my stash . A big thank you to Jose for helping me with my images......love the way some of you girls have been putting a sneak peek at the top of your posts and Jose was nice enough (and clever enough) to explain how to do it. Hope you all have a great weekend.
