About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Football Match!!

Afternoon!! Today's post is a quick one to share a birthday card I made for a friend's son's 11th birthday. I had a rummage and found a Kanban Patchwork Pals Football Match topper sheet. 
The topper included some decoupage element for a bit of depth, and I picked up on the green, gold and blue for the rest of the A5 tent-fold card. The papers are from a VERY old Crafter's Companion Boys CD - and the embossed gold card is also Kanban! I cut the name and age using Crafter's Companion 1" Contemporary Alphabet and Numbers. I finished off with a couple of the extra elements from the sheet, and with some Baker's twine!

Back soon,
Cxxx
