I was asked to make a card for a male, thirty year old, no hobbies or particular interests. Where on earth do you start? I turned to my trusty cricut of course and cut his name and age using opposites attract cartridge, upright and shadow options. Threw on some buttons in lieu of bling, and funnily enough I was quite pleased with the end result.
'What's this' I hear you cry. I was tagged by Donna and have to pull the 6th photo from my computer and put it on here. Believe me, you wouldn't want to see the 6th photo, trust me on this. It was a rather unfortunate photo of me, needing a hairdo rather badly, how it wasn't banished to a digital wasteland at birth I will never know. So here is one of Max, taken last summer when we went to a farm for the day. He was having fun playing peek-a-boo with me in this photo.
Of course, Kiki has to get a mention, here she is with me on her 4th birthday last August. Isn't her dress pretty? It was one of those summer days that start off warm and sunny and deteriorate into a coolish English summers day so I was cold and wearing my daughter-in-law Annies sweater, ah the joys of summer.......................
