Birthday Boy....

The house is now very quiet with no sound of children's laughter and all the grandchildren have delivered home safely....time to recharge my batteries now!

 I think I am like a lot of people and find it difficult to do mens cards but thought this image from Delicious Doodles made a good card for a Son....
I added the sentiment before printing off the image..

 The Zebra backing paper I've had for a very long time and if my memory serves me right it came from Lidl's... just added a piece of embossed card along the centre , punched out two strips using SU Window punch and added a couple of brads....

    Thats a fabulous image Anne and makes a great male card. Love the zebra DP but can`t believe it`s from Lidl. Never thought of looking there for craft things.

    That's a great design to use for a Son card Anne - great idea. I think you're right on where the paper came from - I bought it too ;-)
