Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Finley, wow: 14 years old today!

Couldn't wait to colour up this cute guy and knew it would be perfect for my nephew's card as I know how he loves to surf :)

Have a great day.

Hi there,

A card for someone special.  I always find it more tricky doing male birthday cards, so stars are my go to stamp set...

Happy Birthday Alfie

Hi there,

Thought I'd share a birthday card that I made for my godson recently who is celebrating his 6th birthday today!  

He's football mad and apparently he's into Brazil at the moment, so what would be more fitting than a little footie player in the Brazilian kit.  (Hopefully I've done him justice).

Here's the card I made below from various Stampin' Up! products current and retired along with a few other bits:

Hope you're keeping well.  Enjoy the weekend... off to a Wedding today, so be back another time with the card :)

Bye for now,
