happy birthday ian

 hi world


I never did get my grungy monday piece done, well maybe next week . . .  ohh!  thats tomorrow.
Anyway I have had too much other stuff to do including this card for my daughter's future father- in- law.
 He has just turned 60 and a big Cricket fan. The stamp is  from Papermana . . a set with lots of men's sporty stuff!, the papers are from Basic Grey.
The greeting continues with the cricket theme and I used a Tim Holtz die cut alphabet, so is the sign.
The backing paper has been embossed in a brick wall texture fade again from Lord Tim.
  The brads on the sign are immitation screws.... You might have guessed, Ian is a carpenter/ builder, so it all tied in quite well.
There is just a little hint about time and age with the clock stamps and embellishment  which was stamped and embossed with UTEE.
 JOB DONE

  1. Love those screw brads, very clever ; bet he;ll lvoe the card. I just read your comment on my blog about working in C&H in Winchester - good grief, Lunch Lady Jan and I spent at least an hour in there on Tuesday - she bought a shed load of fabric, I checked out the shoe sale and the craft section (of course) for ages - would we have seen you and not known each other?!!!
