Fishing Birthday Cards

My boyfriend's Dad and Brother-in-Law share a birthday on 9th January. They're both fishing mad and we brought them both tackle so I decided to continue the theme in their cards!

This first one was quite simple to put together as I designed it for Martin to make for his Brother-in-Law. He cut everything out then insisted he wouldn't be able to assemble it straight, so I had to do that bit along with stamping the greeting. It uses one of the cute Lili of the Valley die cut squares, DCWV Stack 6 designer paper, Papermania Natural Raffia and an assortment of buttons that i've collected.



This second card was designed in Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 and then printed onto Matt Photo Paper. The photo I used is actually of a fish Martin's Dad caught last year! It felt a bit like cheating though so I added some stitching and eyelets, covered the letters in Glossy Accents then matted it onto some green cardstock. The card blank was 8" x 8" and is the first time i've used this size but it's perfect for projects like this with lots of detail.

Digi Scrapbooking?

I've never been overly interested in scrapbooking until I recently saw Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 advertised on Create & Craft. It looked so easy to create fabulous pages and there's loads of cool features! I downloaded the Compact version to have a play with before buying the full version. This is the first page i've done and it only took 30 minutes - what do you think?
