GOAL!!!!!

First things first...update on Nico! He is eating & playing now thankfully, but still hasn't got much energy. The other night when we had all that rain, he decided he wanted to go outside at 3am. So there I am standing in the street with a t-shirt on chasing a skunk in the rain!! lol it must have made him feel better though as all he wanted to do for the next hour or so is play lol!!
So thank you for all your texts, FB messages, email & phone calls he is on the mend xx

Now the reason I'm here today, we have a new challenge starting over at My Time To Craft. But also over at Inky Impressions we have a brand new never seen before image release & they are fabulous!

Our theme over at MTTC is ....

EASEL CARDS

any sort from triple to the ones with the draws under. 

I decided to combine the two & use my new release image on an easel.


I hate taking photos of easel cards, can never get a good one lol!


I decided to decoupage Christopher up, to give him some depth away from the goal.

Aww glad Nico is getting better Shell.. must have been a worrying time for you.
I love this fab easel card… it works so well with the goal in the background and then the decoupaged image and then grass border in the foreground… it really gives dimension... a wonderful design! :-)
Hope you have a great weekend!

Aww, this reminds me of my son when he was a litle boy. He was a soccer player and LOVED it!!! He told us he wanted to be a soccer coach when he grew up. The best part? His name is Christopher!!
Beautiful card, shell.
