Chloe's First Card

Hi everyone, hope you have had a lovely weekend. I have managed to do some crafting and today was an ideal time to create. However, both my crafting and my blog have been hijacked by my daughter. She suddenly decided she wanted to do some colouring, so first I found her an image and then some pens. Then she decided she wanted to make the image into a card so my stash has been hijacked and now she wants her card published on my blog,  lol. I did suggest she start her own blog but she doesn't know how to.

Video Boy

Hope everybody has enjoyed the long weekend and the Easter hols. I am on holiday this week and have a few things planned with the girls and the grandchildren.

My card this evening is one that I have made for my older nephews birthday in a few weeks. He's not into cutesy images and I thought this one was rather apt.

The buttons sort of reminded me of the symbols on the controller. I enjoyed using the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp so much that I have used it again with a slight variation.
