Another Birthday

Yet another last minute birthday card... this time for my husband's friend's one year old son. As it was so "last minute", I didn't have time to make the type of card I really wanted to make i.e. one with the number "1" mentioned on it somewhere and one which probably involved a bit more thought and seemed more child-friendly! I didn't know it was required for tomorrow, but my husband decided to spring this upon me about half an hour ago (and it's now almost midnight - same old, same old). He said he'd buy one instead, but I thought that would be a shame. The card was all a bit random and hurried, but I quite like the way it turned out in the end (odd though that may seem; I still don't think it's the best card for a one year old child, though). The two tag die cuts and the circle die cut in the background were made with Quickutz Revolution cookie cutter dies (pre-made, I hasten to add; I basically had sufficient time to cobble together anything I could with existing bits and pieces and nothing more elaborate than that!).

I've been working on a paper I've been preparing for a Masters Degree I'm doing in my spare time (what spare time? that'll be why I'm so far behind with it, then) for most of today and it was starting to do my head in by the time I (finally) finished it tonight. I'm glad it's out of the way, but I have a further paper to complete by 10th August - no danger, as they say. The perils of trying to work full time, clean the toilet, tidy the house and do anything else at the same time... Just like the rest of the population, really!
