Old Cards Part IV

A few more old cards for you, I think this will be the last post for oldies, thankfully.
I have two birthdays coming up in February and then it is my Brother's 21st in March also and I am making him a special card!

It will also be my friend Lizzy's birthday is March. I did send her card with her Christmas card (it seemed pointless sending two lots of cards), and though I have pics of the card I am not going to post them yet because she reads this blog, and I don't want to spoil the surprise for her!

As always, click on the images to make them bigger :)

First up are my man cards. I always have trouble making cards for men, as there doesn't really seem to be that much men stuff out there. So when I found these wonderful pre-made shirt cards I knew I had to have them, plus I kept one back to use as a template for future cards! My Step-Dad and two of my uncles received one of these in 2008 for their birthday. My son also gave one to his Dad for Father's Day 2008.

Another decoupage cards. This time for my Mum's birthday 2008

I made this one for my son's 10th birthday 2008. The 7 shirt could have been used for a 7th Birthday Card, but it was an embellishment set, plus #7 is his favourite football player anyways, so it's all good!

And finally we have one of the many pains-in-my-neck Christmas Shaker Cards that I made for last years cards. I am not going to post them all, because I really do not want to look at them! They were such a pain to make! NEVER again. The brad looks a little off center because of the angle of the card. *Represses her thoughts on those cards*
