It seems like an age since I posted on my card blog - I havn't stopped making or receiving hand-made cards but real life has got in the way of me updating these creations to the interwebbie doo dah. My friend Sandra had a knee operation last Monday (23rd July) which caught me hop (did you see what I did there, I'm sooo funny) because for some reason I thought the op was on the 23rd August so this is not as good as I wanted it to be. I saw someone use the crab & company stamp for a similar card on SCS so I pinched the caption and the idea of tying a little piece of gauze around one of his knees (Thank you Jean for raiding Boots the Chemist first aid kit to get me the little scrap I needed) Normally I would print off little bits of background paper or the sentiments using the computer but beacause I've had PC problems (again - sigh!) I had to rely on "real stuff" for a change. I'd like to re-do it and make it a bit neater but it seems a bit pointless. The chances of knowing someone else with a knee operation in the near future are slightly remote. I love this little crab character though and have used him quite a lot recently as he is very versatile and I like playing up to the fact that we live beside the seaside, beside the sea. I have made two cards for people leaving their jobs (Shore will miss you) whic
h I forgot to take photos of, and this birthday card for my husband. There are so many ways you can use him. I have a few of cards in mind to make with Mr. Crab , a Thank you card and a "Congratulations on passing your driving test" card and a "50th Birthday" card. Also I have a sneaky suspicion he may make an appearance on my Christmas cards too!
