Fathers Day TV

Hi Everyone ,

I'm back ..... I had a mojo dip , probably due to my head feeling like it's stuffed with cotton wool :(  Yep it's hayfever season and this year it's back with a vengeance and later than usual which is why it caught me unawares too , I thought I'd dodged it this year !

Still , I'm getting on top of it now although the anti-histamines take the stuffing out of me too ..... it's the old "devil and the deep blue sea" situation , right ???

I have a Fathers Day card to share today using the Paper Smooches 'Boob Tubes' set , this'll be for James to give to dad because he'll like the interactive part of this card .

I love the retro TV images in this stamp set so I found some groovy wallpaper in my DCVW retro prints stack and a piece of fawn vivelle to make the carpet .

I'm sure you've probably worked out that you turn the wheel at the side of the card to scroll through the three messages . I've had to chop and change with words from a few different sets and  FATHER'S is made up from selectively inking different letters from sentiments  :)

The TV aerial disguises the brad that holds the spinner in place which is sandwiched inside the card ...... this'll have to be a 'picture' style card with a card stand to prop it up .

I think I'll pop over and enter this into the GDT search at Paper Smooches too , the link closes today :)

I have been a bit slack in passing on an award from Stephanie at my-ink-well so I'm going to do it now .

Thank you for this lovely award Steph , it's heart warming to know you like what I do , I love visiting your blog too and in fact that's the hardest thing about these awards .... choosing who to pass it on to :)

...... so 5 things about me ( inc a crafty fact )
1. My craft room is only approx 7 foot sq but built on the 'use of vertical storage space' ethos at Ikea :)
2. I started horse riding at the age of seven but gave up in my late teens ..... never gone back as too many bits wobble now , lol
3. I had a pretend dog called spot when I was a child .... he was very real to me :)
4. I've never broken a bone in my body ...... perhaps I shouldn't have written that one , quick touch wood ;)
5. Oh I'm not superstitious at all , so scrap the touch wood thing :)
5a. I hate ironing - put in just for Stephanie ;)

I love all the blogs that I visit so this is hard to pass on so I've decided to leave it open for anyone I visit to take the award , your all so deserving :)

Thanks for keeping awake through that marathon post I'll hopefully be back again tomorrow X
