It's been a while ....

.... I was so so tired for the whole of last week - did very little of anything at all, no blog-hopping even, never mind crafting!

But as it was my brother's birthday on Friday, and he was coming round for dinner this evening, I had to shift into gear and make a card for him.  He's not someone I would make anything cute or sparkly for, so it's quite plain - the only personalising element is the font I've used - "Simpsons" - little bruv is a long-time Simpsons fan!


I'm entering it in the following challenges: Quixotic Challenges (use sentiment as focus), Creative Cottage (One for the Boys), Basic Grey Challenges (Punch it - I've used MS zig-zag punch and new Max + Whiskers papers - nice colours) and Practical Scrappers (use Patterned Paper).

Thanks for looking!
