Birthday card for an old g*t!

Hello all and I hope that your week has started well?  And I hope that all you mum's out there in the UK were spoilt a bit yesterday - and special hugs for those whose mums are no longer with us. Sadly, both my darling mum and my lovely mother-in-law have both passed away, and I miss them every day - and particularly at times like Christmas, birthdays and Mothering Sunday. But I have my own babies(!) now and so received gifts, flowers and a card - and lots of hugs!
And I do hope that you're keeping warm?  Here in the UK it's been freezing, with flurries of snow every so often. Today I had a girly shopping day at the Trafford Centre in Manchester with a friend (about an hour away on the motorway). It was ok driving there, and we had a good chat over coffee & lunch, an enjoyable browse round the shops but then when I set off home it was like a blizzard! And I hate driving in the snow! Fortunately the roads were clear, but the visibility was awful with snow blowing everywhere! Hey ho. But thankfully after a few miles it all started to clear again! I've decided that I'm just a wuss with bad weather!

Anyway, just a quick card to share with you today - I realised that I hadn't shown you the card I made for my darling husband's birthday when he officially became an old git lol! (Or that's what we keep telling him!)

Now I'm not suggesting that we look like that (only sometimes on an early morning after a late night) - but I love these Bugaboo images!

I've coloured the image with promarkers. The backing papers are coredinations card and K&Co papers. The sentiment is also from Bugaboo. The twine & twill ribbon are from stash and the wooden star button from CraftyEmblies.
Quite a simple card, but he doesn't really do 'fussy' ones - but it raised a smile!
Hope you like it.
I'll be back soon and try and catch up with everyone's blogs. Thank you so much for the lovely comments you leave - and a big welcome to my new followers too!
