Blue Yonder Mark Two!

OK so I don't know why but there was something about the card I made yesterday that I wasn't happy with. So I've changed it. A bit.

So can you spot the difference ha, ha? I cut the card up, mounted it onto blue mirror card and shaped around the greeting and raised it. I like it a bit better now!

Blue Yonder

Quick off the mark that's me!

Sue set this weeks challenge as anything blue, only blue and nothing else. I do have until Sunday to make this but whilst I was out browsing the shops this afternoon trying to get the little one to nod off, inspiration struck....so I rushed home and made this:


MM Slice, Quickutz, peel offs (!), sequins, printed greeting

Yes the little one is sound asleep now and I've had time to make the card and get it posted on here too. My friend Teresa asked me to make a 60th Dad card - hope you like it!

I have got to get to grips with taking better photos as you can't really see the sparkle or dimension on this one. Some of the letters are raised and some are stuck flat. And I have to confess to using peel offs - something I try to avoid as they always tend to look rubbish when I use them! I coloured them blue to fit the theme and then added a few sequins and gems to finish off.

Father in Law is 60 tomorrow

Right, something I'm particularly rubbish at is making cards for men. I just can't find the inspiration or ideas most of the time. So my Father in Law is celebrating his 60th tomorrow and as usual I've left my card making to the last minute.

I tried lots of ideas out bit nothing seemed right, he's not into hobbies and I didn't want to do something featuring beer or anything 'fussy'. I think I found the ideal solution. And soooooooooooooo very easy to make too!

I had a look on 'Printable Heaven' website and found a free lotto ticket download with '60' on and some suitable 60th stuff too.

I think these are the easiest and quickest cards I've ever made!

This one is really appropriate as he's in recovery from a back injury:

This one is made with a wallet style card:

And here's the inside with his 'winning' ticket!

Feeling I can relax now!
