Crafty Catz DT - Special Occasions

Morning all

Well here we are at the end of another week. My free time has shrunk as the new term of events have stared back, so between 2 choirs and Yoga my nights are spent stretching and straining various parts of my body from my vocal cords to my spinal cord. The only downside is the cold nights that come with this time of year and sometimes the lure of the blanket and sofa are so tempting!

I've also been busy reading and I'm well on schedule to finish my discworld challenge on time - but I did take a small detour to read the new Millennium title - The Girl In the Spiders Web.

Anyway, on to this weeks card challenge which has been set by Christine and she wants to see cards for Special Occasions. We are sponsored this week by Bugaboo stamps, who are offering our lucky winner 7 images of their choice:

I've not used a sponsor image this week as I needed to make a 30th Birthday card, so I thought I'd share that with you instead. 

I know there are loads of these types of cards around but I always thought they were kind of fun, so I did some research, chose my favourite facts and printed them up in different fonts on the computer. I coloured white card stock with various inks in my collection, heat set them dry and then printed a number of facts in each colour before mixing and matching to get to the final layout. I matted black card onto the base and raised everything on foam pads.

So there you go. My friend loved her card and I have to say I really enjoyed making it, so I may make a few more in this style.

Hope to see you over at Crafty Catz this week but until next time, happy crafting.
