Birthday boy










Hi, well made a mega mistake today, I luv the creative expression demo's on C&C, so I had the house to myself today and sat down to watch with a cuppa, well I not only joined the club but I ordered the grand calibur I thought the dies that came with it where gorgeous, but I must say it is because I could take it over 4 mths interest free which was appealing as well,  so I threw a couple of extra little bits in the basket as well, trying to pluck up the courage to tell the OH I don't think he will miss the size of the box it is coming in, would like to say Thanks Dawn for the ribbons I won on the blog hop, and I won £10 to spend in J. Sheen shop,from Charisma Cardz, I bought the Spectrum Noir pens, now I have to twiddle my thumbs waiting for them to arrive, hehe, so onto my card the cute image is from Mo's,  coloured with promarkers, this is for my grandson Aaron who is 3 on Monday coming, I put his name on the bumper of the car,  he will think that is cool.  The lollipop stick was the lolly that wasn't I bought the box set of ice lollies and this stick was all that was in the paper, so this is my recycled piece.

Oh dear Chris can't you send him out for the day then you don't have to do any explaining? I ordered 4 lots of Spellbinders dies and luckily my DH was out when they came although I must admit he never complains about the number of times the postman comes to our house (I think he must think I am having an affair with him lol). Anyway you will love it I got a Big Shot Pro which I just love, still use my Cuttlebug for little quickie jobs. Your card is so cute, love the way you have put his name on the number plate and stamped Happy Birthday on the stick - fab! Have a great weekend hugs Susan x
