Monochrome TMR

 Hi Everyone my DT card today is for

I started off thinking of black and white, but I had just seen a card, looking through my photos for inspiration, again, where is mojo? I saw Mr Fix It. Off to Photoshop I go and design the background, I printed the background, and a plain colour mat, then the image.

I had added a line around the image and fussy cut on it, the image was then coloured with markers. The patterned background was added to the plain coloured background and attached to the base layer. The image layer was added with 3D pads. A different take on monochrome, that I quite like, I hope you do too. Thank goodness for records of cards, that I can case.

Mr Awesome

Hi Everyone, my card today is one I nearly forgot to post, it was made for hubby's birthday in April. Our son hasn't been well and asked me to make one, he usually likes to go and buy, but was unable. Anyhow his Dad is a real handyman and I thought it should be reflected how good he is, as our son has his Dad help in lots of things. I'm glad to say Son and Dad were pleased with it.

A New Baby

Hi Everyone, we have had a beautiful new baby girl in the family another Great Niece for us. Unfortunately as soon as she was born she had to have serious surgery, she was born at 7am and was out of surgery at 9.30am. Thankfully she is getting there! she will be in hospital for quite a few weeks more, Bless her little heart. This is her, I think she looks like my late brother, but I'm biased, maybe it's the hairstyle?

Mum to be

Hi Everyone, after lots of challenging behaviour from Blogger I can, at last, write a post. So frustrating, just hope it keeps up, I haven't been able to access any of my DT or my own Design area. Then played around after going to Google and finding something, changed the settings, it was even worse, couldn't load any web sites, changed it back and voila!!!!!!!!!! I never have problems with my PC, so this was a nightmare to me. - Just tried again, still playing silly b.......s

Anyway rant over, here is my offering today, a card for my Great Niece and her husband, they got married last October and have just announced joyfully, they are to have a baby, it will be my first Great, Great Niece or Nephew, they don't want to know the sex, but I have been told she favours old fashioned knitwear and clothes for it, so her Mother is busily crocheting lots for her.

Here's my card - at last, based on the old fashioned theme. I used the sketch from the Outlawz Sketch challenge to make it and used old type lace. Sentiment found on web, I thought it perfect for her
