GRANDAD CARD

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

Hi girls

Need a card for my dad's birthday from the girls.... want to make it myself, but NO IDEA what to do..... anyone done any grandad cards they would liek to share with me, or if I really like it, can buy from them?

Has he any hobbies JARM?

[JayzMummy]

As Dingle says go for one of his hobbies and add embellishments that tie in with it.
If its from the girls how about hand prints of the girls on the front of the card....they can join in with making it then.

He hasnt really got any hobbies unfortunately.... since losing mum in 2004 he has kinda forgotten how to live life.

He is only going to be 48 so it isnt as if he is an OLD grandad either.

Love your idea about handprints of the girls.... how easy is it going to be though? What do i use paint wise? (kids are only 19 months and 18 weeks!)

[JayzMummy]

Any water based paint would be fine to use. Just brush it on the LO's hand and then press her hand against some paper.....although a footprint might be easier??

[jessicaandrebeccasmummy]

oooh yes.... feet might be easier..... Becky is still at the fist clenching stage!

will try that! If it doesnt work, ill be back to haunt you all for more ideas!

DS made one for my dad using the Sizzix train die - he chose the things & all the colours himself & cut the die from funky foam !
