Daring Cardmakers - BoyZone

I've been having awful problems with the internet recently. It's either running very slow, not loading pages (particularly when I've been trying to leave comments), freezing or completely shutting down for a few minutes - all very frustrating. Anyway I was cut off totally last night and after Mark has been on the 'phone to 'India' for well over an hour this morning AOL think the problem is BT's. We've kept the router switched on and it's finally stopped flashing orange and has gone green - so fingers crossed the problem has been sorted and we're up and running for now! But if I go missing for any length of time you'll know why!!

Anyway onto this week's Dare over on Daring Cardmakers - We've chosen the theme of:-

BoyZone

We'd like to see cards for Little Boys or Teenage Boys

(but not "Grown-Up" boys this time)

Here's my card:-

I can't believe with so little in the 'recipe' for this card that it took me so long to make - I am so slow sometimes but I'm quite pleased with this one .
