Big birthday month!!

Evening all,

Hope you have all had a good weekend, it has been another quiet one for us......we finally got our car back, 2 days on the road and something else went wrong with it so it was another week on the bus to work for me and restricted to the house this weekend......fingers crossed we get it back tomorrow afternoon!



Ok, so onto some cards, I have got quite a few birthdays this month, hence the title of this post and this first one is for Steve's mum, her birthday is 2 days after his this week. Unfortunately she is going into hospital tomorrow so will spend her birthday there, although we are hoping that this op sorts everything out and she will be on the road to recovery.





Although it is not the same, I got the 'idea' from the SU Idea Bool and Catalogue on page 44. When you dont have the stamps to totally CASE something you just have to make do with what you do have eh!!




This next card is for Steve, I find it really hard to make cards for men and really must invest in some more masculine stamp sets. It is his 4oth on Wednesday and he is not looking forward to it so did not want to make a card that screamed 'YOU ARE NOW 40'.

Steve is an angler and loves his fishing so last years birthday card had a very comical picture of a man caught on is own belt by this fishing rod, this year I went a bit more 'mature' but kept to a watery/sea/fishy kind of theme.........I hope he likes it.




Well folks, thats it for now, sorry it is so long between posts at the moment but I am flat out at work and catching the bus is taking its toll and eating into my 'down' time, which means I have not had much time to do any crafting either.......I have done a little bit this weekend, making a wedding card for a friend at work and I need to get started on one for my brother and his fiance, they get married in March and as we wont be able to be there I want to make something extra special.


Stay safe
