Sooooooooooooo hot here at the moment that crafting is not an easy task, but if I don't do a little creating each day I get in a real old strop with myself so I got up really early this morning and did some crafting before the sun made it really difficult. Yes I know it would have been a good time to do the ironing but...
We are fund raising big time at work (Mencap) and one of the big events is a Summer Fair on the 19th June at Rowan House in Rotherham. I took loads of cards in last week that were in my spares box, but I want to make some new ones especially for the event too.
Last year I saw a fabulous bargain at Tesco. They had reduced packs containing 4 football puzzle games (the kind where you have to get the steel ball into the middle) to only 25p. Never one to miss a bargain and with fundraising events in mind I bought a carrier bag full. Hmmm seeing as I hate doing the same card twice I may live to regret this!
Anyway here is my first card. I printed the striped paper (designed by me using Serif) onto card and then layered everything up using a scalloped Nestie as a backdrop for the football game. The stamped sentiment is from a set I bought years ago by The Stamp Man.
Hmmmmmmmmm now to do the blue version!! Plus the other 30 or so still in the carrier bag - ouch what have I started?
Luckily my card is also perfect for the challenges at...
- C.R.A.F.T. Challenges - Birthday Celebrations
- Die Cut Dreams - No stamped images - only words
- ABC Challenge - unused stash (must have had that sentiment stamp at least 5 years but love it on this card)
- Crafty Ann's - Lots of colour (can be either lots of one or lots of many colours)
Have a sunny day everyone.
