Happy Birthday Gord!

Hi everyone.  Yesterday was my hubby's birthday.  I was hoping to have a celebration for him this year since it is a milestone birthday, but it will just be the three of us (me, hubby, Jessie).  I'm sure Jessie will be happy to help hubby blow out the candles. :)

I made this quick and easy card for his birthday.  Hubby loves to vacation in BC, anywhere there is water to look at.  It is very calming and peaceful.  I know he will love this card.

I used three NBUS (Never-Before-Used-Schtuff) so I'm entering into their new challenge - NBUS #13.  New are Dried Marigold distress ink, bullrushes and bird images, and sentiment.

  6. FABULOUS card and I'm sure Gord loved it! Birthdays sure are hard to celebrate these days aren't they?! We were supposed to celebrate my mom's 88th birthday with everyone today (19 of us), but that's not happening now and I feel bad for my mom, but what do you do?!! But anyway, your card is just lovely...beautiful blending!! Hugs. :0)

  8. Wonderful card for your hubby, a beautiful and tranquil scene, Loll. Hope your hubby enjoyed his day. My hubby will be celebrating a milestone birthday too this month. The surprise holiday my daughter and I had planned for the three of us to celebrate his birthday in Madrid won't be happening. Instead it will be just me and my hubby, a bottle of wine and perhaps a cake with a candle to blow out. xx

  12. Beautiful soft and relaxing water scene, Loll. I am sure Gord loved his card. So...did Jessie help blow out the candles? Being safe and healthy is the best gift. Take care and give Gord a Hug from Denny and I:-) Love to you both...Nancy

  29. WOW! Another amazing card, Loll. When I look at her I have the impression that I moved to the lake at dawn. A wonderful impression, especially now that we all have to stay at home. I'm sure my husband was delighted. And something seems to me that Jessie not only blew out the candles, but also helped to eat a birthday cake :-)))
