Cards galore!

Excuse me if my typing is a little off, the neighbours wayward kitty is perched on my lap and resting his head on my wrist. Not very conducive to typing!
I have never been a cat person but this little fella is terribly cute and sunggly :) I am quite enjoying him in small doses...the pet you have when you don't have a pet!
I have been on a bit of a card making frenzy again this week. I have well and truly been bitten by the card bug. I made a range of simple birthday cards to have on stand-by. I always end up making a card at the last minute for birthdays so wanted to have a stash ready to go when I need them.
I used a heap of leftover October Afternoon papers for all of these cards.

These were easy and quick to make and used up a lot of scraps. If yoou like the look of the Happy Birthday tags I have made in Photoshop, you can download the 2 page document here for free, ready to print at home :) There are a range of colours and fonts included in the document.

I plan to do another session this week to make some masculine cards. I haven't done many manly cards so that should be interesting! I'll have to tap into my testosterone supply to pull that one off ;)

I am the host at this week's Autumn Challenge at Little Scrapbook Shop's The Seasoned Scrapper challenge. I have challenged the participants to create a layout using two different threading or stitching techniques using thread, fibre, wool, string etc.

This photo below is purely to prove that I do in fact have a teenager. This species is rarely photographed and never unplugged from one electronic device or another. He is also in desperate need of a haircut but insists on the shaggy, orphaned look that is so popular with teen boys everywhere right now.

Just when I was reaching the point of dispair last night, his sister told him that he looks like Justin Bieber...he immediately agreed to a haircut! God bless the little sister!

I can't wait to see what his forehead looks like again :)
