Mum said I had to make my own card for Dad this year, something about it being a distraction from my revision. Thank God I only have 2 exams left though I really can't be bothered with them at all. Mum said I'd got to get my card done today and do some maths revision for the exam on monday, boring additional maths. I agreed to do my card only as it stops her nagging me about maths revision, and I've had her running up and down to her craft room getting me stuff and changing my mind so as I don't have to do more maths. Now I'm putting this post here and have pinched her note book so I can enter some challenges, I can see I might have to ask for some more help, but hey it's better than maths revision.
I said I wanted to enter into some challenges for father's day. I don't do arty craft normally as it's just too slow and messy computer games are more me but I'm quite pleased with this and I didn't smudge too much but my hands kept shaking when I was colouring. I don't like colouring much as my cerebral palsy makes it hard to keep in the lines and then I get cross and hate being disabled. Mum really hates my colour scheme and kept trying to suggest other colour but I like bright colours especially ones that wind mum up. I asked her to put the picture on too and she can do the link thinks for the challenges. I'm only doing this cos when mum put my card up for Granddad I got some nice comments and mum said that wasn't fair so she wouldn't do it again, I could do it on my blog so I am. Only joking mum, and thanks if you read this.

Hey Andrew, fab card mate, love the image you've used and the colours are lush, ignore mum she hasn't a clue lol.
Brilliant way to get out of maths revision lol.
If we can convert you into joining in with our little hobby/obsession more often but the colouring put's you off, you could ask mum to treat you to some digi images that don't need colouring or click on the Digital Doodling badge in my sidebar, Wendy has lots of freebies there.
Good luck with the challenges & your exams
hugs, yes hugs even though you are probably saying yuck lol, Mandy xx

Hi Andrew,
Your post really made me laugh; you took me back a few years when my boys (one called Andrew too!) would do ANYTHING to get out of revision and I'm a teacher!! Maybe us lady crafters should take a few tips from you about colour schemes when making cards for men. I might try a red and yellow instead of blues/greys/browns.Good luck in your exams and the challenges. x
What a great card I love everything about it, Thanks for playing along with the Crafty Ho's Blog this week!
So adorable! Wonderful masculine project!

Hi Andrew
Well thank you for cheering up my day, your post made me laugh - I think I am a bossy Mum like yours is haha, I always try to suggest my kids use different colours and image but thankfully they don't always listen. Tell your mum from me that your colours work perfectly for this cheerful card!
Hope you do well in your Maths exam and what a FAB way to keep your Mum fit and avoid revision - I like your style!
Thanks for joining us over at Incy Wincy for our "One for the guys challenge"
