Hello, I don't seem to have had a lot of time for blogging/crafting recently...probably because I've been reading too much and also I was given jigsaw puzzles for Christmas...unfortunately I seem to have an addictive personality and once I start a puzzle I can't leave it alone. One of my daughter's favourite stories is of the time years ago when she came in late, with her boyfriend (now her hubby) and found me asleep on the jigsaw puzzle. When they woke me, I sat up trying to pretend that I wasn't asleep but there were puzzle pieces stuck all over my face! Needless to say they rolled about laughing (no respect!) and they've never let me forget it! As for the reading...my husband counted 21 books piled up waiting for me...wouldn't do to run out of reading matter now would it! I'm currently enjoying 'The Alice Network' by Kate Quinn, recommended by a friend.
Anyhow, back to the card, first one this year that isn't for a DT challenge!. It's for my lovely and long suffering BIL, the image really made me laugh as my sister's cooking skills are legendary...and not for a good reason! She's a wonderful, kind, funny and caring person...but hates cooking!
The image is from Bugaboo, coloured with copics. Random papers from stash and a stamped sentiment coloured to match.
Thanks for visiting...now will it be book or jigsaw???...decisions...decisions.

hahaha! You really know how to bring color and beauty to any image - this Stella scene is marvelous! It reminds me of the movie "Doc Hollywood" when an older women brought the doctor a welcome meal, and said "Hungry Man's Special - I'm a bad cook" LOL Great card, Chris! hugs, de

Fun card Chris, thanks for the chuckle. Enjoy your puzzles, life is more than crafting..xx [aNNie]
Super image, great design and some love the bright and bold image.
For once I already have this image and I did the card for my Daughter as she is not a very good cook.
According to my Grandsons I am the 'best cook in the World' but do you know I can not cook eggs properly, apart from hard boiled ones.
Did laugh at you falling asleep doing your jigsaw, I once fell asleep at my computer, after coming back from a long haul flight. I am also am avid reader, my Mother used to say "once our Kath gets her head in a book, she is dead to the world.

Hi Chris,
what a brilliant card for your BIL I'm sure this gave hime a laugh.
As always your design is super and wonderfully coloured to.
The colours are so bright and cheerful.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Lovely fun card.
Oh my, Chris! I can just imagine how you must have looked, puzzle pieces and all. That would make a perfect photo to haul out during occasions. What a fun card, too. Your brother in law should love it and not just because it's a fun dig at his wife's cooking prowess, but also because of your awesome colouring and layout. Great mixture of colours and patterns in the background. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
Brilliant card Chris for your BIL....great image and colouring....Joolsx

Very nice card and great coloring
Great card, love your background! Thanks for joining Catch the Bug's Birthday Bash, good luck! Dawn Bugaboo DT
Great story and great card. I can envision you with the puzzle pieces on your face and looking "puzzled". Too funny! My husband is addicted to puzzles on his I-pad since Christmas and I fear that's all he's going to do from now on so that menu might be appropriate for him too! Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Masculine Challenge this week.
Funny card - funny story! You are truly a dedicated "puzzler". Great backstory for your card, which had so many fun details. Thanks for joining us at Watercooler Wednesday.
This is such a fun card! And it is absolutely perfect! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Watercooler Wednesday!
