Early Birthday Pressie

I had a lovely surprise today, my lovely friend Carol sent me a gorgeous set of Tim Holtz embossing folders that she picked up on her hols in Iowa. Well, I was crowing with joy and couldn't wait to play with them, so here are the results - hope you like them. I have to say there will be no problem with male birthdays from now on, these E.F's are just the ticket :-)

I have loved the Umbrella Man for ages, think he is just perfect, and these other two folders are just as perfect for male cards as well, although my scanner is playing up, because the vintage car was swiped with bright red ink !!

Finally, I thought I would make a simple card using this pretty embossing folder. I sent off another 60+ cards for my soldiers last week, so my box is totally empty now and these cards are just perfect to start the next batch, although they won't be sent now until after Christmas and New Year, so all I have to do now is my own Christmas cards.
