hop, hop, hop, hop....

Good morning everyone and lets hear a communal yyyyaaaahhhhhhhh, Phil Birthday present finally arrived, about time too I hear you all say...still cant tell you what it is though as I haven't given it to him...right now its that time of the month again...Mo's Digital Pencil Dreamteams Blog Hop and don't forget to comment on every ones blogs as there's two randomly picked winners of $5 vouchers for Mo's Digital Pencil to win along the way

this month is our wonderful Alice's choice of theme and she chose Easel Card, I always forget how much I love making these as its a chance to add dimension to a card isn't it, you should have arrived here from the fabulous Debbie's blog but if not hop on over to Alice's to start at the beginning...I chose to use a combination of the fabulous Guilty Rocco and Guilty Bert, don't you just love the look on their faces, its priceless...

I coloured them with distress inks and used this stunning double sided paper from Echo Park, its from the Little Boy collection and is called Vroom...the sentiment is printed on my computer and all I needed to finish was some ribbons and loads and loads of lush buttons...the next stop on the hop is the amazing


I'm entering this for the Sweet Stampin challenge , Totally Gorjuss challenge and Cute Card Thursday who are all running boy/men challenges...enjoy the rest of your hop everyone and dont forget to leave a comment for a chance to win...I'm off to the supermarket with my Dad today...oooohhhhh I wonder if it will rain for a change lol

    Your card is adorable. Love how the image is coming out of the die cut. I also adore the Echo Park paper which works so well with this image. I think I've seen this look on my own son a few times, actually.
