Boing,boing,Baggies!!!!!!......

What the.......! I hear you say! Well. if you didn't already know 'Boing,Boing,Baggies!' is the battlecry, or terrace chant, of West Bromwich Albion football club. The recipient of this card is one of No.1 son's housemates, Nicky, who although she comes from Stoke-On-Trent is a West Brom fan. Krishnan called me and asked if I could make a card for her with a West Brom theme. So I went onto good old Google (images), found a West Brom club badge and the chant, and printed the badge onto textured cardstock. It was adhered with foam pads to a panel embossed with footballs in the centre of a standard C5 card. I kept the card simple with no patterned paper, just white and blue cardstock. Nicky, although terribly sweet, is not a very girly girl, but I added a piece of football print ribbon and a bow for a feminine touch. There's not a huge amount of Cricut stuff on here, just the sentiment and name, but heyho needs must and all that!
Nicky, I'm assured, was thrilled and No.1 son said I'd excelled myself!
Aw, shucks!!!
