Happy birthday Alan......

Hello again everyone, thanks for calling in....hope you've had a great weekend, despite the weather.
It's my lovely man Alan's birthday today and we've had a fabby day with all the family here, including baby Eva......she is 4 weeks old tomorrow, can't believe where those weeks have gone! Life is so very busy at the moment.....
Anyway, I won't ramble on, just want to show you the cards I did for Alan.



 Alan certainly fills my life with colour, and more importantly, laughter!



Scraps of inky card...I never throw my inky bits away .




All cardstock is from Papermill Direct
The base card is 'hammered' white.




This card is from Finn to Alan ....the background is Pan Pastels.



My chocolate strawberries always come out on special occasions ;-)



Mmmmmmmmmm, they were scrummy!



Our gorgeous little Eva, she's even more scrummy than the choccie strawberries.
When they arrived, Eva was dressed beautifully, then alas she embarassed herself and had to be changed into a babygro. She looks lovely in anything though, I could squeeze her to bits!


Well, that's all for tonight, sorry it's been a long post....catch you all in a couple of days xx




I'm entering the first card into the following challenges :-
