Last Minute Birthday

 Morning and I realised it was my BIL birthday on Friday and panicked as mojo has gone on holiday-so had a sift through my scrap drawer and found three strips of paper and a stamped image which just needed a bit of colour with promarkers. Papers from CraftOclock, stamped image from Crafty Individuals and stamped sentiment from Stampin Up-job done and across to the post office.

Another proud Grandma moment-My other Grandson(12yrs) who also plays for an Academy like his younger brother had his football presentation on Saturday and won an award for goal of the season and another award for most improved player.

Please note if any challenges have digis for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer.

Football Crazy

  Proud Grandma moment -I made a card for my youngest Grandson who was 10yrs and been playing football since he was 2yrs and now plays for an academy and is awarded player of the match trophy practically every time he plays a match and was even featured as Player of the Tournament  on the front of their magazine. 

The football shirt background is recycled packaging, the die-cut frames are from Penny Black and the die-cut sentiment is from Tonic coloured with a promarker. The football and footballer was a die-cut set bought from a FB declutter site with no packaging so no idea of make-both coloured with promarkers and the football boots were paper pieced.

Card Swap Reveal

 Morning and time for the card swap challenge reveal and 22 cards were exchanged. This card was a little hurried as Son was back in hospital with same symptoms as Christmas but thankfully feeling much better.

The background was a recycled pre-coloured postcard from Visible Image received with a purchase so I won't be entering any challenges with this card- but the two smaller butterflies was  a Chocolate Baroque stamp and I paper pieced them with  Crafters Companion papers.

My card was sent to Wendy in R.IE and I used the colour option.

Edit-I have just received the beautiful card and handmade gifts from Mia on the last day of the month.

More Butterflies.

Oops sorry this is late I have been in bed all week with a reaction from the spider bite or the strong antibiotics. Luckily my card was made while I had all the paper pieced butterflies made for last two cards.

We have a new One of More Butterflies challenge at Dragonfly Dreams chosen by Claudia.

Stamps were from Chocolate Baroque and paper pieced the butterflies with Crafters Companion papers, border strips from same papers and the sentiment circle stickers were from a sheet in my journal.
