Good morning Peeps, it's Birthday week here in fantasy land, yesterday it was hubby's today it's mine and our grandsons and on Saturday one of our granddaughters.
I've had loads of cards and goodies from my crafty friends and will be opening them all shortly, but in advance can I say a big thank you to all.
And I thought I would share my card from hubby, now I could say he made it but of course we all know that's not the case as it's one he selected from my card basket, but one I would choose if it were down to me. A simple masked background of Pan Pastels and stamped with Inkylicious Poppies and Penny Black Aspire, two swallows and of course a butterfly. I used Hero Arts ink pads which come in a lovely selection of vibrant colours and work very nicely with Pans.
Have a lovely day everyone.

Best Wishes on your special day, Brenda, and many Birthday Wishes to your hubby and grandchildren as well. Reminds me of some birthdays in my own family, with my sister's and my mother's birthdays on consecutive days and my own birthday a couple of days later. Sadly, most relatives always came during the weekend of my mother's birthday and had long gone when it was my turn...
Your DH is showing great taste, love your card.
Have a wonderful day!

Birthday wishes to your hubby, grandson and granddaughter too :)
Your hubby made an excellent choice for your card - this is sooo pretty - lovely pastel colours, fab stamping and such a lovely butterfly.
My hubby does the same as yours and "borrows" one from my card box....he signs 'Love from Hubby' on a post-it to stick inside so it can go back in the box...and all because once I suggested he pay £1 !!! He did actually buy me a VERY nice one for my 70th and kept on for days about how much it cost, LOL.
