HAPPY BIRTHDAY




.... not a challenge....not a DT project...just a card to wish my BIL a happy birthday!  He is an avid Winnipeg Jets hockey fan, as are his children and my sister!  The Winnipeg Jets are an NHL hockey team that plays out of Winnipeg, Manitoba (about 4 hours from Dauphin).

A quick & simple project made by criss crossing a few 1/4" strips of card stock. The silver represents the jet on the Winnipeg Jets hockey jersey. It is hard to see in the photo, but I scored lines on either side of the paper strips, stamped a dollar store stamp greeting and done!

I'm off bright & early tomorrow morning for a visit with our daughter in Calgary! AND if that isn't exciting enough...I also get to meet Carol from Just Me C in real life!  We are meeting for a coffee on Saturday! I will share a pic or two when I get back!

Happy crafting!

  13. So, so sorry I'm so late with comments. I have to say this is a perfect manly-man card, Geri!!! Those woven strips are fantastic, but made even more so by the scored lines in-between. Way to take a favorite team and manufacture a gorgeous card with them. Can't wait to hear all the details about your weekend! I just know you're having a great time. Chat at you later....Bev
