Happy 80th Birthday

Today I'm sharing a card with you which I made recently for an order, for a gentleman who was turning 80 the only criteria I was given that he loves his golf and tries to play at least two rounds per week and he has a wonderful sense of humour. 

As soon as I was told this I thought of Bugaboo images and Gus on the golf green, but I felt that the front of the card has to be a little bit more elegant due to the age of guests at the party.

Happy 3rd Birthday

Today I'm sharing a card with you which I made last week for an order.  I was told her Grandson was turning three and he was getting a Trike and he loved LEGO and his favourite colour was red.

So I made two cards for my client and let her choose which card,  so then I knew which card to put the sentiment into and she chose this one.  My son and I had a bet to which card she would take and I won the bet.

I really enjoyed making this card, and I made my own little Windmills using my scrap paper up for embellishments.
