It's my job....

As one of five siblings, I've always had someone to remind me of my age at birthday time, especially as I happen to be the oldest.  Now, my son-in-law was an only child and I'm sure he's finding it harder and harder to remember his exact age without all those friendly reminders.....so I'm taking it upon myself to remedy this!  I'm such a good mother-in-law......


Here we go with another image from Bugaboo....something for the young at heart, but with lots of space for that "41".  Once again I've coloured with copics, using the 'out of the box' technique to cut it out with a circle shape.  The papers are from MME, but I added all of those numbers with the help of a stencil.  You will see some faux stiching and a bit of doodling, but otherwise only a chip board arrow to give direction.  Hope you had a Happy Birthday Rob!

Thanks for visiting, and hopefully I brought a smile!

  6. You definitely raised a smile Joyce, a fab, fun card for Rob, bet he had a laugh at it too.
    WE HAVE SNOW, about 4 inches today and our first this year, well this winter I should say. The cats wouldn't go out, travel was disrupted and loads of schools closed, we just come to a standstill, but I had a day crafting lol.
    Have a great weekend.
