Good morning. Thanks for dropping by today. Hope you are all well. Before I go on to my post for today I just want to say a few words about my wonderful parents. Today they would have been celebrating their 90th birthdays - rather unusual to have exactly the same date of birth. They met the day they started primary school and the rest, as they say, is history. So together with mum's twin brother I think the three of them will be having a wonderful party up in heaven! I wish they were here to be able to celebrate with them!
Today it is time for another challenge at Moving Along With The Times. The theme is man or boy and was chosen by Wendy who is our leader and also our host this time.

I made a right hash of this! It all came together so easily and it was made in no time. Then I tried to open it!!! - I had only attached everything upside down! Grrr! The only thing I could do was cut off the back and then add a hinge to make a tent fold card. What a wally!
Please pop across to the blog and see what the rest of the design team have come up with. Perhaps you will be inspired us to join us!
Take care.
I think we have all made that mistake, still gorgeous though, xxx

It is a remembrance day for you with good memories.
ReplyDeleteMy mum is still with us, but how long is hard to say because she is getting worse and worse. She had a twinbrother too who died many years ago....
I like your card! A boys/mens card is always harder to make than other cards I think!
Hope we can leave for the UK on June 2nd.....

Hi Christine,
ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant card, and such a very lovely image also.
Your paper used is fab,and it's a wonderful design too.
Now you are going to laugh as I too made a boob on my card I posted today.
Firstly I put the paper on upside down, and then when I put the image on I also put it upside down, but luckily I noticed before the glue dried, and turned it around, but couldn't do the same on the paper.
Love and biggest hugs from my house to yours.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteEeee chuck, we've all been there (some of us more times than we would admit to, ahem!)
Super card for the challenge and I did think, where's the hessian? Then noticed you had die cut it for the banner.....genius!
Happy Birthday to the Triplets in Heaven.

ReplyDeleteChristine that's a lovely family tale and I wish them all a happy birthday, quite a coincidence indeed! Love today's male card - was going to say you can't really go wrong with LOTV...then I read your post! Great recovery and you didn't have to be so honest - think we've all done it! Jx
