A step toward something different from me

Hello to you all, and thanks for popping in! Hope you're having a good week so far.......so I've one more day at work before my two week break and I really want to be on a bit of a wind down but its been sooo busy. Have had a couple of orders for cards that I've been working on over the last few days and this is one that I made for a friend at work for her grandson. She was actually quite moved when I gave it to her this morning.
 
She had asked me to make a card with a big no.1 and also feature a photo of her grandson.....after some head scratching on how to lay it out I decided to have another bash at a steppers, which I am still pretty novice with but I googled and found a super template that was actually made by one of my crafty friends teamies Julie - so huge thanks there! The no.1 was cut freehand (yikes!) and embossed with swiss dots folder, the font used on the card is comic sans and the die cut circles are a Nellie snellen die and the stars are an xcut due - the buttons are from my own stash.

I would like to enter this into these challenges:
cute card thursday - button it
crafts and me - anything goes
bearly mine - anything goes
cuttlebug mania - anything goes, with embossing
joanna sheen challenge - embossing

So that's all from me for now, Im just off to throw some jacket potatoes in the oven for dinner and then i'll be back to have a looksee at the gorgeous cards im seeing in my dashboard!
