One for the Dads

Hi everyone, hope you're all well and having a good weekend. I had a lovely day yesterday at the Happy Stampers craft fair in Port Sunlight and I'm already looking forward to the next one in September. It was so nice to actually see rubber stamps and paper in real life and not in an online shop!

My card today is for David to give to his dad for Father's Day. Dave has never been interested in computers or the internet until we recently acquired a netbook and now he's hooked! I've used one of this month's great new images from DigStamp Boutique that is part of the Father's Day collection. The collection consists of seven images and five sentiments for only £2.99 until June. Fab!!



* Offer of the month - Fathers Day Collection

I used Craft Artist to resize the blank laptop, copied and pasted and merged them to make my background. I then inserted the laptop with text and resized it. I printed out a second one to layer on top using sticky pads. I copied and pasted the sentiment to make the banner. A very quick  CAS card!
Thanks for visiting today - I'll be round to catch up with you all later.

Hi Katina

Lovely card and specially like the fact that it's only in black and white. It's very effective!

Hubby's Sis lives near Port Sunlight, it's a beautiful village isn't it? In fact, she may well of been there too!

Have a great night xx

Port Sunlight, what a perfect name for a place that holds a craft fair.

Brilliant card, I really need to spend time learning how to manipulate digis like this. Fancy a trip North to show me?

This is such a fun card Katina - I love the wording on the 'puter screen - I'm sure it will ring a bell with lots of Dads out there with empty wallets! Brilliant!

Pleased to hear you had a great time at Port Sunlight. I've never been to the stamp fair, but have visited the village and the Lady Lever Art Gallery - it's a fabulous place isn't it.
Hugs, Sylvia xx
