Morning Everyone!
It's my wonderful Dad's 80th birthday today.
Yesterday, my Dad, Mum, Brother, Sister, and all our families went out for a meal to celebrate Dad's birthday. It was lovely to catch up with everyone, and we had a great day.
I made Dad a birthday card naturally. He used to always be tinkering with cars, and even built his own car once. He loves to watch sport and motor racing, and played rugby as a young man, so I incorporated these interests into his card.
Those Tim Holtz gears and Finnabair nuts and bolts came in handy for the '80', and the cigarette cards and papers were from my papercrafting days. I used PaperArtsy Everything Art alphabet stamps for 'DAD'.
My Dad, Mum, Brother, Sister & Hubby, and I, are off to celebrate Dad's birthday with a pub lunch again today.
Hope you all have a wonderful day too,

Looks like a great celebration! Both the cake and the card are wonderful! Hugs,Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo, Alison - aren't you lucky to have so many of your family around? Most of mine are in New Zealand and the one who isn't is in Shrewsbury, so I rarely see him. My Mum was 80 in January - your mum is looking as good as she is - ageing so well. Hope your dad enjoyed his celebration.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card, too - great that you were able to incorporate all his interests :-)
