Nephews Birthday Christmas Eve

-

In our family we celebrate quite a few birthdays in December
As I have been so busy I forgot to take pictures of all of them!
This one I have made for my nephew who will be celebrating his 
Birthday and Christmas in Ireland with his dad this year.
Hopefully this card will arrive there safe and sound.
He is quite a party animal and this image from Crafts U Print made me think of him
He says when he hits 30 he will calm down!!
I used the pre-coloured image and added the sentiment which I did in word
These were then matted onto a few scraps of green and red that I had left over from my Christmas Card and Vouchers in the previous posts
The background is a piece of foiled card that was simply stuck down
Quick and easy but hopefully effective.

This card is for the following challenges


Thanks for Looking

Brilliant card Nicky - it applies whatever age we are after a certain point doesn't it. Keep joining in and saying if you fancy a prize - your snippets entry is done so all you have to do is keep an eye open for fresh prizes - big hint, if all goes to plan as am still making sample cards (should do more between Christmas and New Year/5th January) - there will be something on offer every single day! Did I say that quietly enough I wonder?

Licks from Dudley. He knows there's a build up to something here and has needed a very gentle little toe nudge in his rear end to coax him outside to do a wee today especially - afraid he misses something! Just wait until the Christmas dinner is on the go - he's a dog that will sit for two hours watching a joint of beef roast for goodness sakes! I plan to do him some chipolata sausages in the oven along with the main meal for us then chop and cool them and let him have just small pieces with some cooked chicken. Have checked all over doggie advice and think that's OK to do - in moderation of course! Is that OK do you think?

Love and hugs from Di and Dudley! And Parsnip - who is totally loving all the palaver. I caught him scrabbling through Dudley's box of Christmas gifts earlier muttering that he really didn't think it was enough! xx

No Cards But A Promarker Storage Project!

Sorry not a card but I have been working on this, hopefully some cards soon. Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
