Busy Time

It has been ages since I last posted – though if I had been asked, I wouldn’t have said it was so long.

As usual, it has been a busy time.  I have been preparing for DS’ 18th birthday and also trying to get ahead with the family birthdays.

We celebrated DS’ 18th birthday just over a week ago.  He had a wonderful birthday weekend, starting with a home cooked Chinese meal on the Saturday, setting him up nicely for his actual birthday on the Sunday.

 

DH saw a card in a local shop (“mock horror!”) that he liked and wanted me to adapt it.  This is what I came up with:

I had no choice (and I wouldn’t have it any other way) but to make my card:

The card & numbers were cut using my Craft Robo and the footballer was stamped and then coloured with Copics.

I also made an 18th key and a gift box:

 

Both the key and the gift box were cut using the Robo.  The gift box I designed and the key was from a template from one of the fantastic ladies over at UKScrappers.
