Hi, and welcome!
I almost feel like I should be apologising for yet another MALE card....but it certainly wasn't me who planned all these summer birthday boys!
Ho hum.......so........this one was for my Hubster's birthday, on Tuesday just gone....he turned 52...............er........that was his take on it....he was actually 62, but could get away with the former, lol.
Don't know if you caught it, but Tuesday was 21st June....the longest day of the year......and that is most certainly what his late Mum used to call it! Why? Let me tell ya.......he was her second baby....first baby was 7 years earlier, and weighed 11 pounds 2 ounces....took her all those years to pluck up the courage to have another one, poor love.
The big day dawned, (BIG plays a definite part in this) and the labour pains were gettin' fast 'n' furious....these were the days when you had your baby at home......but she couldn't make it up the stairs....she was 5 feet 3 inches and small framed......so her new baby boy was actually born on the dining room table......all 15 pounds of him!! Longest day of the year? Certainly was for her, ha!
Suffice it to say, he was her last baby!!
He's still a bonny boy....and passed on the big-baby-gene.......all our five were well above average....ha!
Here's the card I made for him...............
Let me make this very clear.......the only thing about this fella that actually looks like the real-life Hubster is the colour of the hair....kinda......
I chose the image (digi freebie) 'cos I knew it would make him laugh....the nearest the Hubster gets to lifting iron is watchin' me....no, really....I have ickle one pound hand irons, just like these, that I have to use as part of my management of the flippin' lymphodema!
I cut kraft circles and hand-stitched for a bit of texture, then popped a button on 'em.........
The two DPs are from my scrap heap (yep...it's a heap...or three), and the strip under the buttons is another scrap....all inked around the edges.......
And the finishing touch was another digi freebie.......love these tickets!
Let me know what you think.......be nice :D
