Scott, my brother-in-law just had a b'day and so I thought I would make him a boy card. He is a uni student so I thought "Jim with beer" would be appropriate.
I coloured with cool grey Copics. I was trying to go for a black and grey monochromatic look. The papers are from DCWV The Alphabet Stack and I added some large buttons and threaded this leaf ribbon through the holes to add a bit of texture. I also did some sewing on the machine for interest and ripped the edges of the paper to give a rough or distressed look.
Thats about it from me tonight...I am off to finish my packing. Ben thinks I do not need to take 82 outfits with me to Japan...(he is exaggerating of course), but I say you can never really tell what the weather will do. I bought a lovely red dress and red shoes for the wedding...will have to post a photo when I get back.
Take care and enjoy your crafting,

Hi Alicia,
I love looking over all the wonderful cards you make - you are very creative! You are inspiring me to get back into scrapbooking, and finish the album I started for the girls years before. Since moving up here, I've lost those Friday night opportunities with my good friend Annette, who was my next door neighbour at the time, as she was the one who got me into scrapbooking and would come over for some wine and cheese while we 'scrap-booked', while our husbands were at her house playing poker! Now she still lives in Ashmore, and I'm all the way up here, so we don't bother now. Besides, the boys don't play poker much anymore. Your holiday to Japan sounds fantastic! And of course you need to take plenty of clothes with you while you're away - don't worry, Mike exaggerates all the time too - it has to be a male thing! Have a great time away. I'm not sure if you noticed but I am in the process of changing my blog, as I just wasn't keeping up with my posts previously as work has been so busy. Tell me, how to I create my own background/template like you have done? I have no idea, and I don't want to keep the background I currently have, which is a Blogger standard template. Any ideas would be appreciated. Take care, and I can't wait to hear how the wedding went. Love Rhana xxxx
