Birthday Card for A Father-in-law

So…

I have my computer back. Momentarily.

I say that because I picked it up last night only to find that this morning, it was still doing all the things I had brought it in for.

They wiped it clean and reinstalled the operating system, and such, and I still haven’t reinstalled some things, such as my photo-editing software. So, I apologize that these pictures aren’t as great as they could be.

I made this card for my father-in-law a while ago now, but haven’t had a chance to blog about it yet. So here it is. 🙂

I used a brown card and put a square-patterned paper as the background. The tag in the center was pre-made, from a set I had gotten a long time ago.

I cut the gift out of patterned paper, and added a paper “ribbon.” Then I attached it with foam glue dots to give it dimension.

I used raffia to put more detail on the tag.

And the saying I just printed on a sheet of label paper. I use the kind that’s not pre-scored, so you can cut out whatever shape & size you want.

This might be the last post you see from me for a little while, as I think they’ll have to mail out my computer to get it fixed. Boo. 🙁 I’ll try to update here and there if I can.
