Hi there! Sorry it's been so long since I last posted! Blogger has been really playing up, so I haven't been able to post for ages without all the text in my post grouping together, which was really annoying, but it seems like it's back to normal now, so I hope it won't play up any more.I made this card for my dad's birthday, which was a couple of weeks ago. I had another go at paper piecing, which I've only tried once before, but really enjoyed. I also used my cute Max & Whiskers pad by Basic Grey, which I won in Liz's blog candy, which is really good for male cards. I'm always a bit wary about male cards, because I think it's hard to know what to put on them because you don't have the choice of flowers and pearls and things like that. 
Materials:
Image: High Hopes
Image: High Hopes
Sentiment: Unsure, Magnolia (I Think!)
Lettering: Borrowed From My Mum
Papers: Basic Grey - Max & Whiskers
Border Punch: Martha Stewart
Ribbon: From My Stash
Cardstock: Bazzil
Colouring: Polychromatic Pencils
Gems: From My Stash
Buttons: From My Stash
Distress Ink: Tim Holtz - Brushed Corduroy
I am addicted to these little Scrabble-style letter stamps of my mum's, they're great for spelling out short sentiments or personalising a card with a name!
For my dad's birthday, me and my brother joined together to buy him a ticket to see Footloose at the theatre, and my mum also bought a ticket, so that she could go with him, as they both love their eighties music! My dad was really pleased with the ticket and they had a brilliant time!
I am also entering this card into these challenges:
- Cupcake Craft Challenges - Something Beginning With C (Criss-Cross)
- High Hopes Challenge - Anything Goes
- Papertake Weekly Challenge - Anything Goes
- Simon Says Stamp Challenge - Paper Piecing
- Bunny-Zoe's Monthly Challenge - One For The Boys
I am so glad I've been able to post this card at last! It was so frustrating not being able to post without my layout being messed up!
Did people enjoy the Royal Wedding? I thought it was really nice and everyone looked lovely!
Anyway, I'd better go now. It was a real shock to the system to go back to school after a lovely long two weeks off and a nice relaxing Easter, but I'm really looking forward to my work experience week, which is coming up soon! I am going to my old primary school, so it should be really good!
Thanks so much for looking and enjoy the rest of your week!
Love, Georgia xx
