Special Day....

Hello and welcome to my new followers, I hope you will enjoy your visits.

 

I cannot believe I have managed to make 2 cards in one week, thats a first for me in ages lol. It was my Grandson Ryans 16th birthday on Thursday.  At first I could not  decide what to do as I had done all the football and racing car cards, in the endI decided  to do a more personal card just as I did for my Granddaughters birthdays last year, so I spent a delightful afternoon on Monday going through all my photo`s of him along with a lot of memories which I will admit to a few tears as well as I just cannot believe that time has gone so quick...... so without further ado.....

 

 

The photo`s were imported to MCS where I choose the backing paper, the frames and then the photo`s.

 I then added the football cup, the racing helmet as these are the things he loves. The words under the photo`s were decoupaged to give it a bit of a lift. Added the tag sentiment and attached using a brad which I got from the lovely Lindsay.

Mushroom Living.....

I hope you have all been keeping safe and warm with all this horrible snow,  I do not like the cold or the snow.

As you may have all quessed there has been a few weeks since I had a Showcase, partly due to christmas and my mojo for drawing went on a walkabout lol.

 I have spent the last couple of weeks getting my brain into gear and came up with a few ideas and this is the first for 2013.
Called Mushroom Living.
