This is the other card that I made for my Baby Boy's 16th birthday last Sunday - this one was for his older brother to give to him.
It's DL, made by cutting down a sheet of A4 and I've used the same collection of papers (Jovial Man) and some more of the elements from this months freebie. It started with me trying to use up some of the papers that I'd already printed but they didn't look right for what I had in mind so, as usual, I had to print more. It's not my usual style but the 'text' wording seemed appropriate as the two of them do a lot of that. As for the sewing, I can sew straight but wanted it to be wonky, honest.

Now I did intend entering it in this months Get Funky challenge of 'Boys, Boys, Boys' because I saw that several people had entered more than once - but when I checked the rules it does state 'one entry only', and I wouldn't want to get disqualified so that one's out.

Hi Lynn
ReplyDeleteOh wow!! This is brilliant.
Yes, only one entry into the Funky challenge .. .. what a shame :-(
Love what you have done here very much .. especially the text speak and the wonky stitching. Sometimes it is harder to sew wonky than straight I find.
Looks like Alex had a Funky birthday!! LOL!!
Love Jules xx
