Footy Birthday boy (DigiStamp Boutique image)

Hi everyone,

If you follow me you'll know how difficult I find it to create boy cards so most of my creations are as girly as you can get hehe. BUT... I have recently re-discovered DigiStamp Boutique's gorgeous digis and they have some of the best boy images going around. I'll be happily creating a few more boy cards now.

I used some Echo Park papers and my notepad punch along with my circular die cuts that I don't think I could live without anymore.

Is anyone else having issues with Blogger? I can't log into or join any challenge blogs and I can't often save my changes to my sidebar. When I refresh my dashboard it often says I'm not following any blogs and I have to keep refreshing the page. Would love to know if anyone has had any of these problems and fixed them as it's so frustrating.
