Card for work!

 Hello Everyone
Thank you for popping by
I may have mentioned before that I started card making when I had to give up my first passion knitting for a while. I was the "mug" that used to buy a card for a team member that everyone used to sign - you know the drill. I was never reimbursed for these and there's 17 of us in the team. A colleague showed me her card makes and I thought I can do that! My very first purchase was a cd rom and now my "stuff" fills a room

 Today's card is for the IT manager My "thang" is to make personalised cards. I was lucky enough to win a project disc made by Michelle Jackson-Mogford. It included this layout which I have "pulled" to bits. I found a free font called Juko Typewriter for the sentiment. I just thought it was apt for his job role (and he's a similar age to me and knows how back in the day we had to use typewriters!) 


Ingredients
8x8 card blank
Project disc with serif digikit images
Lidll grey and blue card stock
SW Gemini die - Lyra
Distress ink - Shabby Shutters

I'm off to Liddl now to see whether or not their offer for card/paper/craft packs have arrived. I may need to pop back on the 1st June!

    So nice to make a card for someone instead of fitting a person to a card you have on standby. Looks great. Have a good weekend best wishes Jackie x

    Why not post on a Saturday Karen and join us, the more the merrier. I am more likely to catch you over the weekend as sometimes work a Thursday.
