How it your week going? I am pleased the weather has got a bit cooler it makes it easier for me to get things done. This evening I am meeting my hubby in town and we are going to see Avenue Q at the Mayflower theatre. There was an offer and they are hard to resist.
I am hosting the next challenge at the Moving Along with the Times (MAWTT) Challenge blog and I have chosen the theme Things with Wings.
I was asked to make a card for the 80th Birthday of one of my in-laws good friends. He was a Paratrooper and that's what they wanted for the theme of the card.
I had to do quite a bit of research for this card. I found the paratrooper badge and the some other bits on the computer. This is a Z-fold card. I do like making these.
This is a photo of the chap in question. He is very good to my husband's parents. They have even spent Christmas together a few times.
That is the Paratroopers badge and it has Wings. You can see the badge on the hat in the photo above this one.
I was quite surprised that this chap was 80 he really doesn't seem like it.
With some of the left over bits I made this card for the chap from my hubby and me.
I know he was thrilled with this card. He kept talking to people about it and showing them. It is nice when something you have made makes someone happy.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Enjoy the rest of the week.
Happy Crafting
