Football Crazy


Good evening

It has been so hot here today and as much as I love the sun it was too hot to be in the garden so I decided to stay indoors and make a card.  Jamie was happy to be in playing on the Playstation and Chloe has gone to her friend's for a sleepover. 

On Sunday two of Jamie's school friends are having a football birthday party so when I ordered some of the new release LOTV stamps earlier this week I also bought this cute little footballer as I thought he would be perfect for Jamie's friends.

At first I struggled because I couldn't find any suitable papers but then I had a 'lightbulb moment' and remembered that I had bought some Sharon Duncan CD's a few years ago and one of them was a football theme.  I had a rummage through my CD's and found it (think this is the first time it has been used!) and the papers were perfect.

That's all from me because Jamie wants me to take the dog for a walk so he can ride his bike.  When I get back think I might indulge in a glass or two of wine :o)

Hi Lisa

The heat of the sun is a pefect excuse to craft and what a lovely card as well.

I made a footie card today as well today, I am thinking we are probably going to see a good few on this theme in the coming weeks, or not depending how well we do.

Thank you for joining in our Stampalot Challenge this month and good luck.

What a great football card, those papers are perfect and those punched border look great. I wonder what other stamps you bought Lisa, hmmmm. Lynsey and I have resisted so far as we have so many new stamps already but they are lovely and very tempting. Enjoy your weekend. Marianne x
