For Him - Midway Reminder

 Just a quick post today as I have a tonne of stuff to do today...well between yesterday and today I have to fit in 6 days worth of work because I have Coen tomorrow until Saturday including Thursday night!!! Today will be wedding invitation day...yes I'm still working on them but with the Ruby & Rocky in Doggy Daycare I SHOULD be able to make a dent in them :-D

I think I've made what's called a 'double fold' card...you can let me know if it's called something else lol

Again I've used Beer Belly Man, coloured him with my Copics and cut him out. The 'cheers' is from my Paper Smooches Birthday die set...it's first outing ;-D 'Dad' is an alphabet set from MFT. I cut the letters 3 times each and layered them to give them a bit of strength...sometimes with the smaller die cuts they can be quite flimsy and difficult to cut pieces of foam tape to fit the thin pieces. This way you get dimension AND strength :-D

The enamel dots are from Doodlebug

A little peek at the inside. I really love this style of card...whatever it's called lol.

Just a couple of pictures in Coen's Corner this week. The McLeod family had a little mini break with friends and their little girl last week in a lodge near Glen Eagles. The weather wasn't great but they had a fun time. Here's a pic of Daddy Ben and Coen in their matching sunglasses. Not sure how long Coen kept his glasses on for...

not long lol.

Remember we have a new release next week...we hope you'll join us for the reveal!

Thanks for stopping by today...hope you have a great week

Catch ya later x

Birthday Boy

It was my son in law (still getting used to saying that lol) Ben's birthday on Monday and when did I make his card??? Yup...Monday lol. Lucky for me he and Nic were at work so there was no fear of them dropping in while I was mid make ;-D

I decided to go for Beer Belly Man but I want to add a disclaimer ... Ben does not resemble him in any way! Funny though...Nic bought him a card with a big bellied man on it too ;-D

I really liked the way this turned out...what do you thunk?

I found some MME Alphabet Soup pp in my stash along with Elzybells brown cs and set about cutting, mounting, diecutting and sewing. I felt some bunting was in order so used an unused Die-namics die {shock horror} I've had for months. I'm hoping it gets the Queen of Bunting's approval lol. I printed BBM on PTI's white cs (PERFECT for coloring with Copics) then again on pp to paper piece his shirt. Once colored I cut him out and mounted him on some embossed, mounted and sewed cs.

I added some GD to the beer and GA to his shoes...oooh Kerry...your cutting skills are shocking!!

Although you can't really tell I've curved the bunting for a bit of dimension, faux stitched as QOB always does this so is a must ;-D Some twine and brown nailheads complete the look

I used another Die-namics die for the sentiment

And there you have it! I love it and I don't think Ben was too offended by BBM ;-D I was in a bit of a rush and couldn't be bothered to get my photo tent out but I quite like the skirting board look don't you lol?

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges:
