Happy Birthday Grandpa.......

Tina the owner of High Hopes stamps is asking us to send her Grandpa a Birthday Card, she won't see him on his big day, he's going to be 88 years young and it would make him smile if he receives cards from all over, well he's going to get them from all over the world now and that will hopefully make him smile for a month..hehehehe, this one was posted the other day and i do hope that it arrives in time... fingers crossed...

I used Tina's High Hopes Challenge to complete my card, this week it was dry embossing, I decided to use this cute High Hopes Monkey, he really is just Divine.... I used SU inks to colour him and an SU Craft Ink Pad to stipple behind him.... the papers are by October Afternoon one of my favourite companies and the image is held in with American Crafts photo turns.. For the dry embossing i used the Cuttlebug Mosaic Embossing Folder on both the front and back of the card and the stitching was done on my ever faithful Janome Mini... ( you know you can get one of these from Argos for £50 and they are so much easier to use...) i added High Hopes Jungle Leaves images to both the front and inside of the card....and of course had to decorate the inside to, i love to do this now, i just don't feel as though I've finished a card with it... i hope that my card makes Tina's Grandpa smile :-) after all that what card making is all about... Making someone smile :-) Don't forget to keep checking toward the end of this month for my Yummy Candy which includes a pack of Nestabilities...
