Video Girl

Evening everyone, hope you are all well. Isn't the weather just glorious. I've been to Eastbourne this week with the girls, and we couldn't have picked a better week - wall to wall sunshine. Its my granddaughters 9th birthday today, its quite difficult making cards for her as she isn't a girly girl, doesn't do pink at all, but she likes playing video games with her brother so I thought this image was quite apt. I've used the sketch at Sunday Sketch and Stamp. Hopefully I will get around to catching up with everyone tomorrow.

Ingredients:

image - Mo Manning 'video girl'

Video Boy

Hope everybody has enjoyed the long weekend and the Easter hols. I am on holiday this week and have a few things planned with the girls and the grandchildren. We went to the London Aquarium today, my youngest grandson was fascinated, but I think he would have rather got in the tanks than watched from the outside.
My card this evening is one that I have made for my older nephews birthday in a few weeks. He's not into cutesy images and I thought this one was rather apt.

The buttons sort of reminded me of the symbols on the controller. I enjoyed using the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp so much that I have used it again with a slight variation.

Ingredients:

papers - papermania 'for him'

stamp - mo manning 'video boy;
