Goal !

Well it was the expected shitty day in work today!  And it looks like the interview process is going to be dragged out till at least mid March!  Its such a shame as it was always such a fab place to work, but at the minute as you'd expect, everyone is sooooo fed up.  Ah well, que sera que sera.

Anyway, I'm glad I'm a crafter as I was able to totally switch off when I came home and got stuck into this wee footballer card.  Buying new card making goodies is definately cheaper than therapy! LOL!
  • Sketch from Mojo Monday #177
  • Fab'n funky #58 - chocolate and blue (though a little bit of green slipped in there for the grass ooops!)
Supplies:
Footballer stamp from Sugar Nellie - coloured with copic and promarkers
Football from Elzybells
Tim Holtz embossing folder
Martha Stewart fence and grass punches

What a great card with the little boy sitting on the fence and all your grass. Sorry you're having a tough time at work. Maybe it will be better before too long. Just keep buying those craft goodies and everything will be fine. LOL

LOVE it! What a fun card. -- great colors, cheerful feel -- and the random stamping soccer balls is a great touch. .... looks like a bad day at work enhances your creative side! That's impressive - not many people could boast such a feat!
