Last Birthday of 2021!

Hello Everyone, I hope you are well and keeping yourself safe, this new Omicron is quite a worry as it's growing exponentially, and of course we all want to have Christmas with our families this year, wherever possible. So let's hope the general public behave themselves, use common sense and not follow the Clown from No. 10, but the Scientists' recommendations.

I have my final birthday card for the year to show you today, it's a male card for a friend's hubby,


 All of the stamps are from a Creative Stamping magazine earlier in the year.  I found some cogs in my stash and thought they would look good as an embellishment, I also found a stencil with cogs and coloured with DO, finishing up with some grey gem things.

Word has it the recipient was very pleased, that of course makes my happy.

Thank you once again for all the lovely comments you leave, especially taking the time at this very busy season.

That's all for today, I'll be back on Christmas Eve, to post my final card of the year, take care everyone,

Your so right about the "clown' Kate, I'll say no more.

The dreaded virus has hit our Christmas a second year running, one son and o/h had it last Christmas and it's beyond belief she tested positive again yesterday. Two more son's both working (one for the Clown) all over the holiday as so many colleagues are off with it. So a drastic amendment to my Ocado/MS order for Thursday, we might even just go with beans on toast!

But a great masculine card, stay safe and if I'm not by again have a lovely Christmas.

A fabulous card Kate, a super masculine design.
I think it's about time we all took responsibility for our own health, that is what we are doing - getting jabbed, being careful where we go, wearing a mask and good personal hygiene, it seems to have worked so far.
Have a lovely Christmas.

I can relate to this card, my hubby is a car guy and I make a lot of birthday and anniversary cards for him with cars. Bet your friends hubby loved this one. Nicely done.
