Hello there!
I'm here today with a belated post for 'my' Grandson's birthday. His birthday was on Tuesday and I had the card ready and made on time, don't worry, just not posted on here! He turned four this week and I hope very much that he had a fabulous day! We haven't seen him for three years now :( and we miss him lots...hopefully we will see him again soon :)
I used Marion's card over at Muse for inspiration for my card...
I used Marion's layout combination of a few bold horizontal stripes with the main image popping up perpendicular to the stripes. As beautiful as Marion's card is, I had to make it a little more suitable for a small boy!!
This card came together fairly quickly which was a bonus! I hope little Marshall liked it ;)
Thanks for stopping by ;)

Hello guys and girls!
Tomorrow is my cousin's son's birthday and I made him a card based on this week's Muse challenge. This week the Muse guest designer is Lynn Mangan. If you don't know Lynn already (which I'm pretty sure everyone does!) then you need to get yourself over to her blog - she's just amazing!
Being as I had to come up with a card for a boy, I was so pleased when I saw Lynn's muse card...it was perfect!!
Here it is...
..and here's my card...
As you can see, I kept it pretty much true to Lynn's original, I just swapped out the flowers for balloons - I don't think a 9 year old boy would appreciate the flowers somehow!!? ;) I love the 'Polaroid' frame look!
I can't wait to see what everyone else comes up with for this challenge, it's very much open to interpretation and I bet there'll be some really out-of-the-box corkers for this one :)
I hope Charlie has a fantastic day :)
Thank you for stopping by guys ;)
