Stamp with fun #58 – DT card

Morning everyone!  There is a new challenge over at stamp with fun challenge this week and we have a wonderful sketch by Andrea/Emmi41 to work with.

SWF sketch #58 This is what I came up with:

It was my son’s 16th birthday on Saturday and this was the card I made for his brother to give to him.  He thought it was very funny!  We had a lovely day out as a family.  We went to the cinema to see Iron Man 2, which was good but not as good as the first one and we went for lunch to pizza hut, which was delicious :) 

My father is still in hospital.  His knee replacement went well and he was recovering from the operation when they found a blood clot in his lung!  He is now on treatment for that but to top it all off he has now got a problem with his prostate :)  Hopefully he can come home tomorrow (before they find anything else wrong with him) and just have a follow up as an out-patient.  I will be glad to have him home as visiting every night is so time consuming and the night is gone before you know it!! 

My card also fits in with the following challenges:

A spoonfull of sugar challenge – furry friends

Lili of the valley challenge – here comes summer (paper reminds me of a deck chair lol)

Cute card Thursday challenge – boyz to men

Crafty Ann’s challenge – anything goes

DU2DS challenge – anything goes

Stamp something challenge – birthday somethings

Stampin’ for the weekend challenge – a card for a male

Pile it on challenge – cute and cuddly

Anyway I hope you have a chance to pop over and see the rest of the DT cards, as they are stunning and I look forward to seeing what you create this week.

My baby is 16!!

Shane Morgans

Just a quick post as I’m going to be out all day today.  It is my son’s 16th Birthday today and I wanted to pop on and send him loving birthday wishes.  Have a wonderful day Shane!  I can’t believe my baby is 16 – where does the time go?  I’m sorry for the rubbish picture (which I have pinched from his Facebook page) but when the computer crashed last year I lost all my photos and I haven’t got any new ones on my computer yet! 

We’re off to the cinema today and maybe a pizza, depending on what the birthday boy wants to do! 

I'll be back tomorrow with a card but until then have a wonderful weekend.  Hope the weather is good where you are.

Can you help?

Edited to add – I just want to say a big thank you for all your messages regarding the drummer image – I’ve been given lots of places to look and offers of images so thank you very much.  I will of course share my card with you next week.  Crafters are definitely the nicest people :)  Hugs, Denise x

I need your help – my son is 16 on Saturday and he is a very keen drummer.  Does anyone know of a “funky” drummer digi image that I can get hold of to make his card?  Yes I know I’ve left it last minute – but it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t lol!. 

If you know of anything can you either leave me a comment or alternatively email me

Here’s hoping……………………………… :)
