It's my grandson's Birthday today, Happy Birthday Ollie! So I made a card, the first one in ages... I think I said on Wednesday that I was getting him two Lego cars, a Mclaren Formula 1 racing card, which he already has, as Amazon didn't have any til 2nd of September, so Emma nipped out and got it from Argos, Winchester and I nipped out and got a Lamborghini racing car from the local toy shop, who were really helpful.
I also said on Wednesday that I wasn't sure what to do for a card... dinosaurs or Lego...He had Dinosaurs on last years card, so I really wanted to do something with Lego...So, that's what I did. I wrapped the present in dinosour paper and made a matching tag, and then made a Lego card. The only thing was, all the smaller Lego (more 'grown-up' Lego) is deeply hidden under Lord Knows what, up in the Attic...but all the Dulo and Fabuland Lego is under the bed in the spare room... So, that was easy! Poured it all out, made sure there was a Number 9 showing somewhere, took a few pictures, scanned them in and voila! Printed them all out and fitted my new 'Lego Papers' to the card.That bit was very easy, but I wanted to do a reveal wheel card on the front...So, using my Lawn Fawn dies cuts...(hours later) yes well, I think I cut out enough to make four or five cards and for some reason the opening wouldn't open! (I must've glued the wrong bit!) So I stopped and played with Loki for a while, then made another one... it was a bit wonkey, but it worked! Yay! |

What a fantastic card! I love the paper you designed for your grandson card and the design too!, so clever. Lego a great choice and you can't go wrong either way. My nephew loves lego too. He's always been a ninjago fan but it's a challenge to find something different every year. ' I'm a big dino fan too and loved the card you made last year too. Michelle x
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle. Of course, I love Lego too...which is probablt why I have so much of it, even after letting the grandkiddies have a huge box of it many years back...
DeleteYou folks are so creative. I wish I have the skills and ideas to do something like this. I think I'll stick to gardening and cooking :-)
