Rock Star

My card today is for the CD Sunday challenge at the moment which is Rock Star. It's an 8x8 card base with navy blue card for the matting. Both the decoupage topper and the backing paper are from La Pashe Best of 2012. I opened the topper in MCS and enlarged it so it would go onto the larger card base, then teamed it with a backing paper from the same CD. I added some card candi in one corner and the sentiment, which is from All Occasion Dies.

FIL continues to improve and is hoping to go home from hospital later this week.

Thanks for taking the time to stop and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

A Birthday Card For a Male

I was asked last week if I could make a birthday card for a 40 year old male who loves golf. This was what I came up with and it just happens to fit with the challenge over on the CD Sunday blog this fortnight, which is A Birthday card For A Male. This is an 8x8 card base and the image and background are from La Pashe The Big One CD. I took the images into MCS and resized the background until I could crop out the bit that I wanted to use, placed onto some green card for matting. I also wrote the sentiment in MCS and printed it onto the background. The golfer was resized slightly to fit with the proportions of the background and I popped the layers together with glue gel.

Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

Grandson

Yesterday was my son's birthday, and along with the card that I made for myself and hubby to send him, I also make the card for my Father-in-law to send him. Sometimes this can be quite tricky, trying to come up with two very different cards, but this year with a little help from La Pashe and the Something for Everyone CD, I managed it. As my son works on saloon cars for racing, this one was Ideal. I started with a 7x7 card base and using silver mirri card for the matting, I printed out the backing papers and popped them onto the matting and then the card. I printed out the decoupage and layered it using glue gel, again this was put onto mirri card. I then made the sentiment on the PC and added it to the corner. I chose not to add any embellishments as I felt that it did not need any.

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

The Male Room - Anything Goes

Inspire Me Fridays - Anything Goes

CD Sunday - Aged To Perfection

This week has flown by and it's time for a new challenge over at CD Sunday. This week it's Sue B's choice, and she's gone with Aged To Perfection. The rest of the design team have been hard at work and there are some great inspiration over on the blog, do pop over and have a look. For my card this week I've used La Pashe, Best of 2012, and this happy couple on the London to Brighton run. It's the card that I made for Mother-in-law to give to Father-in-law on their 64th Anniversary. He always had a passion for cars up until he lost most of his sight and had to give up driving 12 years ago. On cold nights he would pop out to the garage a put a blanket over the engine. The card base is 8x8 and I matted the backing paper onto some black card, the topper and sentiment were matted onto first black and then silver mirri card. I used the sprocket set from spellbinders and cut out lots of cogs which I've added as embellishments.

Thank you for taking the time to look, and your kind comments which are always appreciated.
