Football Crazy

Now when I got my new printer I had to buy some digi images to see if it would work, Ok I know I had some anyway but I had the perfect excuse. This chap was one I brought from Karen Doodles, the only thing I dislike about these images is working out what is the best size.
The papers are the new BG Oliver nice and grungy for a boy and I used the sketch this week on Papertake Weekly although my mat using the zig-zag punch should be larger, it wasn't till I cut it did I realise I made it too small. Buttons are using a punch and punching out one plain and patterned and sticking together, then using my cropadile to make the holes and I used some of that cotton twine I brought at Newbury.
I still too hot here in the SouthEast but while I write this its hot and drizzling but its not going to last long cos its going to be hot and sunny later.

Wow Debbie, this is so cute...sorry, boyish very boyish, what a great idea for the buttons, I just invested in a cropodile and once I worked out which holes to use, wondered what else I would do with it.
