Madcap Manor

The Mediaeval spelling in the title is a family joke, Hubby isn't quite as old as Chaucer! This is Gus, I think he's my favourite Bugaboo character! The rather naughty sentiment came with him! He is coloured in Promarkers and *Flexmarkers with Glossy Accents on his specs. I used a Spellbinders 'Wonky Rectangle' to cut him out. Papers are snippets, the ribbon and buttons are from stash. Here's an inside view, the buttons show up better here: Simples! Hubby's birthday is at the beginning of February and this year I've got tickets for us to see STEPHEN FRY as Malvolio in 'Twelfth Night'!! So exciting! I'm entering several challenges: Here Come the Boys have BINGO - I used the 4 corners: blue, buttons, image and patterned paper Catch the Bug Challenge also has a Bingo card, I hope it's not too cheeky to enter two Bingo challenges!

Another of my hubby's colleagues is pregnant (it must be something in the water!) I certainly never expected to get so much use of this Bugaboo set!

Another pants picture - the card isn't that wonky, honest, guv! Thanks for looking luv, Mags x PS Sorry the pictures aren't very good, I had to take them in a hurry yesterday so hubby could give the card today! Promarkers: Putty, Dusky Pink, Pastel Pink; Cinnamon, Cocoa; Vanilla, Ivory, Powder Blue, Sky Blu...
