How has your week been so far? We have reached what some people refer to as Hump Day half way through the working week. When this post is published I will be on my way on a school trip heading towards Arlesford in Hampshire where the children will learn about the countryside. I hope we don't get any rain today.
When my husband asked for a birthday card for a male colleague earlier this week I realised just how few male cards I have in my stash. So I thought I'd better start making some.
I have been given a large collection of used cards on the off chance I might be able to make a card of my own from some of them. This card took two. The first card I cut down for the background. I used lots of layers to make the card more interesting.
This is one of the wooden stamps from my collection.
This boat came from another card. I have used this image before when my Father-in-law was 90 he got eight cards with this boat on them. Interestingly the pop-up box card I made for him is still on display.
I made this card to go in my box of cards so next time my husband asks for a card there will be more for him to choose from.
I would like to enter Challenge 121 at Cardz 4 Guyz.
Happy Crafting.
Hugs Jackie
