just like me *lol* Rainy afternoon so I thought a bit of sunny brightness required. Designed a quick & simple 5.5 x 5.5 card front for a birthday, when I print it off I will probably mat and layer it and stick actual buttons over the buttons. entered into: digitally sweet - yellow, blue, white.

This card was done as commission for a lady who shares my passion for all things PURPLE!!! Having said that, I wanted to do understated purple... and this Delicious Doodles  image (Love's Faded Memory) was perfect.

No new craft for a bit, due to having a bad month and for the last week, a stinking cold which rendered me almost zombie like, flat out on the sofa squished under a duvet. And now I've passed it onto Andrew, bless him. I keep telling him its True Love ;) Anyhoo, yesterdays digi scrapbook page was the first thing I've crafted since the middle of April! Really enjoyed playing around with the new toy CAP2 as well. today I have made a male birthday card, have to admit I do prefer paper crafting rather than digital, just because I love hands-on fiddling & faffing. Although trying to glue the washers onto the paper strip was a bit too much faff......   5x5 white card blank Creata dark mirror card (black) backing paper topper & embellishments from Debbi Moore "shabby chic mechanical" washers from Andrews tool kit   entering card into - cardz 4 guyz : time challenge
