Will be glad in one sense as it's far too big for us and the huge garden is now becoming a chore rather than a labour of love, but will also be very sad as I have been here for over 25 years. Time for a fresh start....
So I will try and keep popping in and out until we go - then will have to use the lappie as nothing connected in the new house and as it's all finally come together in the last 3 days it will be a while before we can get PC's up and running....
Made a couple of quickie cards whilst resting my back from the packing and also finally managed to add the finishing touches to this one -
Don't know how he can see the ball with his round tum - never mind chase round after it!
All shapes cut with Nesties and the paper is odd bits from my stash.
The image is called 'Dunderton Academicals' from Dr Digi and I layered him up a bit to give him some definition from the background.
The sentiments are all PC generated and I applied liberal helpings of Antique Linen DI all over the place in an attempt to make it as grubby as his shorts!I can think of one or two players who live by the aforementioned 'Rules'.... LOL
I made a stand for the back as opposed to a 'flip open' card and covered the stand in footie paper.
Hope all is well in all your worlds and thanks for looking. x

I think your choice of papers and card shape is perfect for this cool image, and not to forget the sentiments! Just the perfect amount of distressing to make "dirt" on the card too - lol. Have a great day!
Such a stunning masculine card with great character. All the best with the move. They do say a change is as good as a holiday.

Hi Viv
A fabby card. Love all the distressing (and the sentiment made me smile).
We are moving our Son next weekend so this weekend will be forcing him to finally pack away lots more of his possessions in readiness.

I just love your grubby footballer! Hope your move goes as smoothly as it can. I've just got my garden laid out and established after being here 20 years and I know how I would feel if I had to move (just like I did the last time probably). Oddly I'm not that attached to my house this time - just the garden! X
