Card for a teenage boy!!!!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! Yes, a teenager! I cannot believe my"baby boy" is now 13. 

I have had this image by Mo Manning for some time now, perfect for my computer mad son!

We had a lovely day together, ate loads of cake...

then went for a lovely meal where we ate loads more!!! 

Ooops, oh well, it's not every day your son becomes a teenager is it? 

This card meets the criteria for;

DP2 challenge 151- Anything goes

A card for Jack!!

My "baby boy" was 11 yesterday and starts Grammar School on Friday! I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone!

Now I saw this image from Mo Manning aaages ago and knew straight away that I just had to use it for Jack! He is mad about electronic games, computers, gadgets etc and considering I haven't crafted for a few weeks I thoroughly enjoyed making this for him. It is always best making cards for those that are closest for you!

This card was also made for;

Stamping for the weekend - anything goes!
Bee Craft - anything goes!
Stamps R Us - Stitches!
Rosie D's - One for the Boys
Paper Cutz - Metal
Cupcake Craft - Digital

I HAVE to make a few more cards this week, so hopefully I won't leave it so long before blogging again! XX

A Pocket Challenge from DewDrop Craftz!

Last night saw a new challenge launched over at DewDrop Craftz.

This has been set by Sarah.. and would like you to incorporate a 'pocket' into your creation.
This could be a pocket to hold a secret message.. money or even another part of the creation..
The winner of this challenge randomly picked, will win a choice of stamp from the DewDrop Craftz shop.

Now I have used an image from a stamp to be released very soon- you will have to keep a watch out for it - great for those tricky boys cards.

A quick card for Jack!

Busy, busy, busy......rush, rush, rush! It is Jack's 9th Birthday tomorrow and we are having a little get together for him.....and today we are taking him go-karting as a bit of a surprise. Camera is all on charge and I hope to get a couple of good shots to scrap.

In the mean time I have quickly put together a birthday card for him using this week's Friday Sketchers sketch.

Just in time!

I have JUST finished this weeks challenge from Cute Card Thursday when I heard the Postie put some letters through my door!!! YIPPPEEEEEE!!! My new Magnolia stamps have arrived along my my first set of Nestabilities!!

Quickly load this, have some lunch and I will have a short time to play before I collect the children from school!!!!!

Right, this weeks challenge (#18) on Cute Card Thursday was to make a card for a child! I thought I would try out one of the Socks downloads from Pink Petticoat...I have had them a while and they have been sitting in a box all coloured in and waiting to be stuck on a card! I tried to make this quite bold and textural.

Not sure you can see but he has lovely glossy teeth and shiny bulbous eyes!

It's finished at last....

....the card that has been sitting on my desk for 2 days that is!!!! I have been quite low again today, just struggling to get motivated and not knowing what to do first really. So much is on hold for one reason or another and I cannot tick the box and say it's done if you know what I mean. BUT it's another card off my "To do list" and it also meets the latest challenge over on Cute Card Thursday! Our challenge this week is 'Planes, trains and automobiles'
but of course we wouldn't restrict you to just those vehicles, absolutely any mode of transport is allowed!

Using my little Hamish with Tractor stamp, picked up on the background swirls on the papers and used my devine swilrs CB folder....and of course finished with a few glossy accents!!
