Happy Birthday Dad!

Hello all!

Today was my first day back at work following my wedding. I've had 3 weeks off so it was a bit of a shock to the system to get up at 7am, oh well, back to reality!!

Today I have the card I made for my dad's birthday to show you. It was his birthday last friday, the day after we returned from our holiday so I had to be super organised and make this last month! I was inspired recently by a card I had seen to use punched shapes as a stencil, so I decided to use some various sized circles to create my own stenciled background!

What do you think to the end result??


....and a simply decorated inside following the theme from the front.

Materials

CS: SU Choc Chip, Old Olive Whisper White

Sentiment: SU Just perfect Alphabet set, SU Cute Curly

Tools: SU circle punches (Various sizes), SU Sponge Daubers, SU Button in Marina Mist, Twine from stash, Post it notes

I'm really pleased with how this turned out with the masked edges to create a frame and the circle shapes. I always struggle with male cards, so this was an unusually pleasant experience for me!! Lol!


I just want to say thanks for all your lovely comments on my recent wedding and the photo's I shared with you last week. For those of you who have asked here is a few more for you!

As you can see I've been playing around a little with the colour of the last photo, I'm amazed with technology today that enables you to do this!! We were stamping our thumb prints onto our marriage certificate in this picture, which whilst not done in the UK, is tradition in Mexico!

Well, I'd best dash, I'm off to my tuesday night craft night at Julie's and need to get ready!
Oh, and for those who don't already know the new SU mini catalogue is being released in 3 days, and I can't wait for you to see it. I've been having fun since I got home last week making some samples with the new products and believe me, they're fab!! Watch this space for the mini link!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hugs, Vicky ~x~
