Did someone say cake?


 Good morning, I'm back from my holiday and here to share my DT card for this fortnight's challenge at Sweet Stampin'-
 the theme this time is Boys, boys, boys
and this is the card I made for my boy who celebrated his 41st birthday at the beginning of this month. How can my baby possibly be that old???!!!

The image is a digital stamp from Beccy's Place, coloured with my markers and fussy cut. I  gave them a fence to lean on, stencilled the clouds and stamped the sentiments. 

While I'm here I'd like to say a huge thank you for all the lovely comments left by my lovely blog friends while I was away- very much appreciated.

I'll leave you with a photo of Marvin- he thoroughly enjoyed his holiday- lots of walks in woodland and several visits to the beach- no problems with his 'swimmers tail' this time thank goodness! 

We went for a peaceful forest walk... Marvin found a bog to play in... he was happy- I was not - particularly when he shook right next to me. We then took him to the beach for a cleansing swim...he was even happier...


Thanks for stopping by

Chris

Oh Marvin, what can one say!!

Love your card for your 'baby', the years go too quickly, if it's any consolation my baby is almost the same age.

This is such a fun card Chris. I bet your boyo loved it! Glad you had a wonderful holiday and Marvin enjoyed it too xoxo

Lisa said...

This card is such a fantastic and lively creation! The digital stamp from Beccy’s Place is full of personality, and your coloring really brings the playful pups to life. The fence is a great addition, giving them the perfect spot to lean on, and the stenciled clouds add such a nice touch to the background. The stamped sentiments fit wonderfully with the fun theme. A delightful card for a birthday celebration!
