Good morning to all my lovely followers and friends. I'm back home from Florida and feeling very relaxed we had a great month so laid back just love the life style and the heat. I'm now home and back to all the catching up. I'm sorry I didn't get any comments done but had to rely on wifi when I could get it so never had chance for any long spells sitting at my iPad. A special thank you to those of you who commented on all my scheduled posts they were lovely and so kind of you all. I must say I have missed my crafting not doing anything was hard but I bought some lovely craft goodies to compensate.
Now a bit about my post today. This is an 18th birthday card and box I made before my holidays for my friend Val to give to her grandson Kieran. The image is a McLaren sports car and the reason for this choice is he's just got an apprenticeship with them and started this month what an opportunity for him he's a delightful young man.

I'm not going to Harrogate this time :-( . I would have loved to have met up again but Lexi, Chris' girlfriend, wanted to go to a craft show again but was working this weekend so we're off to the Whichcraft show at Doncaster Dome instead. I couldn't persuade Stuart to take me to both, Lol! Have a good time with your friends. Debra x

Welcome back Carole, I'm happy to hear that you had a great time! Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog, I really appreciate that you took the time to look at the things I posted whilst you were away - it must have taken you a while to catch up with everyone! This is such a fantastic masculine card, the colour scheme looks perfect and it is always lovely to hear about the people personalised cards are intended for :) Can't wait to see what you create with your new craft goodies!
