The Wallpaper and Painter Guy Birthday card (Dr Digi image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

I was totally inspired by this image from Dr Digi's to create a scene where's he's scruffily putting up wallpaper. I had seen a similar type card ages ago on Pinterest and it's always been on my mind to have a go myself. 

Once I'd finished my card I showed my husband and mentioned how I'd cut wood designer paper into strips, inked them to make them look like floorboards - he asked me did I cut them in different widths so that the "closest" floorboard was much bigger than the "back" floorboard - Well how clever is he!?! Now that he's said it I just keep thinking how I needed to do that to give it a more realistic look, next time lol. I used some liquid pearls for the "paint".

A fish for you (Dr Digi image)

Hi Crafty Friends,

Oh I loved colouring this guy. My lightest green Copic ran out half way through but I still think he turned out pretty good. I decided to keep the card very clean and simple after I mounted the image onto green cardstock and liked it just as is. So I only added a sentiment and fish charm to finish it off. You can find this great fisherman at Dr Digi's.

My Hubby's Birthday card hehe (Dr. Digi's image)

Hi crafty friends,

Hehe, my husband is right crazy into a stupid X-Box game at the moment so whenever he's at home, he's sneaking into our games room and it's driving me up the wall haha!! I thought this image from Dr Digi's was perfect for him hehe, he found it amusing too! Hope you get a giggle out of it. The game is Call of Duty in case you're wondering, do you know any addicted gamers that aren't kids or am I the only one stuck with one at the moment lol?? Maybe I need to set up a "Gamers Anonymous" meeting for friends and family!
