It was my first Grandson's birthday on Thursday and this was the card that I made. I have always said if I win the lottery I will buy you a car Garry. Needless to say l have never won anything, so his card was giving him a choice of Tim Holtz cars, along with an old car key . My background was distressed with a cogs and gears mask from Prima, and I fussy cut round the centre to insert a map of Scotland. A few embellishments finish of his card, and as he and his girlfriend are in London with his Mum & Dad he phoned and said he loved his card. Carolyn, Hamish and Molly are coming next week and have asked if they could make some notebooks, so they went off to Hobbycraft in Edinburgh to get what they need. Molly likes to buy her own things so she can play in her craft room, yes, she is only 11 years old. Budding Blogger I think.
So I may not get time to post next week ,but at least you know what I will be up to. Take Care Everyone. Hugs Rita xxxx.

What a great card for your grandson Rita. I can see why he was delighted. Keep purchasing the lottery tickets. You just never know? Wouldn't he love it if you won. LOL!

Gorgeous card for your grandson, food for thought as I find it difficult to do male cards. Don't know why but I suppose I like the frilly cards better. I also adored your leather book was fab too.
