A Heathy Option

Healthy eating and the obesity 'bombshell' especially regarding kids is such a worry, so I hope this more healthy option of a favourite fast-food meal will be just the thing for one of my Grandson's this month.

 

I have made this design before and it comes from Polka Doodles Not for the Girls Cd again.The Burger and Fries have been cut out and layered with foam pads for dimension and the printed blue paper folded to make the carton or pocket for the Fries.The tickets and sentiment strip are both on the Cd .

See what happens when you get a 'lift' - you start making cards again !!!! (see previous post!)

Happy Birthday Brother

You have probably worked out by now that I am a big fan of  Polka Doodles - Nicky Hall's fabulous designs. In this latest card I have used her Not for the Girls - definitely for the Men CD.

I made this card for one of my brothers as it is his birthday this month.I'm not saying he is as old as the cars on this poster but I think as a car lover,he will appreciate their classic style and design.

All of the papers and images were taken from the CD and all I added was the cream base card,gold mirri card,a bit of ribbon and 2 fancy tool brads.I used the 'poster' of the cars as the main focal point of the card and arranged it so that it could be removed from behind the ribbon to be viewed properly.

The sentiment and image on the back are from the CD too.
I hope to enter this into the following challenges:
1.Cards for Men Challenge 22 - Anything Goes (as long as it's male)
2.Papertake weekly Challenge - Penny for the Guy
3.Paper Sundaes Challenge 42 - For the Boys

Burger and Chips

I love Polka Doodles and I love food so this card is ideal for me. I made it for one of my teen-aged grandsons but I think it is suitable for a variety of people and ages.

I used papers and images from Polka Doodles Not for the Girls and built up the design by forming and then layering the images.

Another day and another card

I love easel cards and I love Polka Doodles so I will share a card I made this time for my son.
I used papers from Polka Doodles Not for the Girls CD rom and I shaped the shirt from an A4 sheet of paper. I used textured card for the Tie.

Okay, just to get started I will share with you a card I made for my husband's birthday which was yesterday.He has been learning to play the piano for a couple of years and is making steady progress with his Grades and a Grand Piano would be the ultimate reward for all his hard work. For now he has to make do with this card !!
I used background papers from the Polka Doodles Not for the Girls CD rom, music score on vellum which I bought somewhere I forget and the piano was from the Quickutz Silhouette digital designs. I made the circle texts myself on Microsoft Word.
