A multi-challenge card!

Hello everyone, I hope you’ve had a wonderful Wednesday. Weather here has been a bit yucky again today. I had some car trouble yesterday morning – went out to go to work and had a flat tyre! Luckily hubby is working afternoons this week and he was in bed so fortunately I was able to leave my car for him to sort and take his to work. However it turned out to be a bit more serious than just a flat tyre – I hit a pot-hole on Saturday when we went to the cinema, a very large pot-hole and I had actually buckled my alloy wheel!!! How lucky was I ‘cos I used it for work yesterday. So now that I’m £190.00 worse off I have my car back – great timing ‘eh? I am actually thinking of speaking to the council and seeing if I can claim the money back (hubby went to take a photo of the pot-hole today but they have conveniently filled the hole in now). I’ll keep you posted on developments.

Anyway onto the reason you’ve visited me today :)

This card fits in with quite a few challenges this week:

Cute Card Thursday – they want cards for little boys

Quixotic Challenge – want to see a charm on your card

Simon Says Challenge – also want to see a charm

Paper Cutz Challenge – their theme is anything goes!

Allsorts Challenge – want to see buttons

La-La-Land Crafts Challenge - also want to see buttons

For my card I’ve used an adorable image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Thomas in pram’ (don’t miss out on the 20% off Christmas images currently running in the shop) and coloured him with promarkers. The gorgeous paper is imaginisce and the plain card is from the papermill shop. I used my MS doily lace punch for the decorative edge and the ribbon is dovecraft. The charm and buttons are from my stash. I printed the birth announcement details on the pc. I love making baby cards and I have another baby boy one to make tonight *yay*. Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to come back tomorrow to see my card for the new susie’s sassy challenge.

Hello and welcome to a wet and windy Saturday here is Wales – hope the weather is a bit better wherever you are! My card today is for two challenges, the polka doodle challenge from last week (ends tomorrow) was ‘a male card and at least 3 brads’ and the quixotic challenge, which started this week and their first challenge is an easy one ‘birthdays’. I stamped TGF image called ‘Edward’ and coloured him with my promarkers. The papers are DCWV (again) and the plain kraft card is from elzybells. The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval punches. The brads are from my stash. I really like this card, I think the papers and colours are perfect for a young boy (even if I say so myself lol!) Thanks for stopping by today.
