Boys Will Be Boys

Hello, Good Morning and Welcome!! It's time for

The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog

It is Boys Will Be Boys and I chose this sweet little fella from our Sponsor.

Pink Gem Designs


He is pre-coloured and I chose Lawn Fawn papers that seem to compliment his outfit perfectly. I can't remember where my Happy Birthday die came from but it adds a bit of interest to a fairly plain card. I die cut the star buttons and then coated them in glossy accents for a bit of shine. Its been a long time since my boys sat cross legged on the floor playing on their Playstation!! Martin and I couldn't wait for them to go to bed so that we could attempt the next level on Crash Bandicoot...remember him?!!

Well, Mama Mia was brilliant and we came home a little hoarse from  singing our heads off!! There was plenty of time to wander around Bournemouth beforehand and reawaken some happy childhood memories. Lunch was scrumptious too, so a very successful outing and one I hope we can do again.

Anyway, we look forward to seeing your Cute boy cards.

See you soon xx

Such a brilliant card for this challenge Sarah.....when Cameron was younger Mario Kart was always the one that we'd all play together (I was absolutely rubbish at it though, lol) Glad to hear you enjoyed Mama Mia, such a great atmosphere isn't it! Have persuaded Alistair to take me to see it again in the West End - can't wait!!!

This is just so cute! Fab topper which as you say matches the LF paper perfectly. I really thought those were real buttons, great job making those!
I too remember Crash Bandicoot with fondness. To stop the quarrels over it (the boys not me and Stuart :D) I eventually got my own PlayStation and games to play. I still play on the PlayStation now as it helps keep my brain and hands working (my excuse and I'm sticking with it!)
I'm so pleased that you all had a fantastic time in Bournemouth and at the show :). Debra x
