I am sick of this stupid cough! It's been hanging around for weeks now and just won't go...it's the sort of cough that leaves you alone for a while, giving you a false sense of security, then grabs you round the throat and irritates until your gasping for breath!! The doctor put me on antihistamines to see if they would help, but so far, no joy! Hubby and little man seem to have it too, so we're like a coughing choir, especially at night! Anyway, moan over and onto something to share from a special little man...
...We had a workshop last Saturday and as hubby was taking big man to his footie match, little man had to come with me - this is no bad thing to little man as he loves to come and 'help' and join in. So, he decided he wanted to make a card along with everyone and as I had a pack spare, I let him have a go. The first card, he followed along with us, making it exactly the same...well, nearly...he put his bats on the opposite side to us - artistic license!
...For the second card, he decided to 'do his own thing' and though he had the same ingredients, his card turned out completely different...
... He is very strong when it comes to his design ideas and would take no direction from me or anyone else and I was pretty amazed at the result! The spotty paper was double sided with the stripe on the reverse, so he cut the strip in half ad turned one piece over to get the two patterns. I love the jaunty angle that he put the first layer on, but the way he wanted the ribbon parallel to the card base - he even solved the dilemma, after putting the orange layer on, as to how his card would stand up straight, by cutting off the bottom corner...not bad for a
9 year old?! So, I promised him that I would give him five minutes of fame on my blog and enter his creation into a challenge or two..
I'm entering this card into the following challenges :
