21st Birthday Easel

*************
Hello and a welcome to new friends, it is really lovely to see you here :)

I am full of cold and the house is full of kitchen. I am having a new one installed and it was delivered Saturday morning. The electrical items are in the dining room, the cupboard units in the garage and the contents of the kitchen are filling the bedrooms plus some stuff in the living room. What a mess - such a heap of it for such a small kitchen!!!
On the bright side it means we'll be eating out a lot, LOL.

***********

This is a 21st birthday commission for a friend who's granddaughter is studying fashion and photography at uni.
She (my friend) likes easel cards and the scrolls so at least I had a starting point. The rest took a bit of thinking about but I got there in the end.

The cameras are printed on photo paper and are two shaped layers for a little extra interest.  The scroll is, as usual, printed on to parchment type paper distressed around the edges.

Challenges
Totally Papercrafts - easel cards
Fab 'n' Funky - #162 - add a sentiment
One Stop #220 - anything goes




Thank you for stopping by and the much appreciated comments on previous posts :)
Cheers me dears!

A request from daughter for her friend's son who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and has been confined to wheelchair for many of his 21 years.
He enjoys watching football and a beer or two :-) but I opted for a neutral theme card for his special birthday.

The BP's  are freebies from Jak....thanks so much Jak....they were just the job for this card :-)

The wording was done in my graphics programme....I'm getting to grips with this at last
I added some raffia for an extra bit of interest


Thank you for stopping by. 
Cheers me dears :-)

Key of the Door

8inch square

A 21st birthday comission

Another biggie.
I enjoyed making this but spent too much time faffing around as to what papers to use...this seems to be the norm lately.
I have also had to make a wrapper again as I don't have envelopes for this size.

I have used the lovely sketch at Carol's Sketch Fun 18
Icy Wincy Designs want to see buttons, bows, ribbon, and lace!!!!
A Spoonful of Sugar challenges us to layering.
At Dottie's World the theme is leaves. There are also leaves on the BP.
Raise the Bar - use something given to you....the key charm
Pile it On - Warm Wishes




I used one of the gorgeous charms I won from Crafty Catz...I can be generous, after all, it is a special card :-)



A funny coloured pic of the number 21 cut from gold mirri card and a handmade flower.
