1st Holy Communion card with Image by Maurie Manning, Marianne and Spellbinder Dies

I'm being asked more and more now to make cards for boys. I used to avoid these as I always found them quite hard, I mean if you can't add ribbons and flowers what do you make.

Then I found the KennyK and Mo Manning digi images along with a few others and it kinda changed my whole attitude to boys cards, I'm having real fun playing with these now.

This card is for a 1st Holy Communion and they wanted it quite decorative, which is just up my street.

It's one of two cards I made for the Godmother and Parents to give.

This fantastic little image is a Mo Manning Digi and as the little boy concerned has red hair -

I just had to give this image that too.
