Hi Everyone
I am nearly back on track .. .. .. in fact I might be ahead of where I usually am at this time of year. Yay!!!
I still have a few special Christmas cards to make but other than that I am well on my way to be being ready for Santa.
But yesterday was Mr Heart's birthday and Christmas went on hold to celebrate his special day. I do feel sorry that his birthday falls so close to Christmas and try my very best to separate the two. The mantlepiece is still full of his birthday cards and they will stay there for a little while until I can't hold off from swapping his cards for fairy lights and candles.
This is the card I made for our youngest Son to give him .. .. ..
This used:

and that is me for today.
I hope everyone is OK.
Not sure if I should mention the re-arranged Christmas plans or not. I just feel so sorry for all those people that may have gone out food shopping today to buy supplies for the Christmas they were planning to have when they woke up this morning.
Very nicely made Birthday card! I'm sure your husband will love it!
ReplyDeleteHope your hubby had a lovely day on his birthday,love this James bear card,have a wonderful Christmas,take care Meg xx
ReplyDeleteThat's one really cute bear - a great idea to match the background to his tie as well, very clever.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant card Jules. James looks fab and I love the design. I hope Mr H had a very happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are keeping safe.

A super card for your son to give his Dad Jules, my eldest son's Birthday was on Friday so I know what you mean about trying to separate them, we never put our Christmas tree or decorations up until after Matt's Birthday when he lived at home.

I love this adorable card. I like the matching tie with the paper. Great coloring!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. Have a great Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHello Jules...a really cute card James is such a sweet image...I wasn't surprised and the governments decision last night...we will now be on our own and thankfully we can freeze some food...I will miss the grandchildren opening their presents but its best to be safe....

I'm sure Mr Heart loved his card. It was my dad's birthday yesterday too. Just like you we make sure that we celebrate in non-Christmas style, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYou just can not beat LOTv image, they don't age, they don't go out of style. A really super card, great design and colours. Yep pretty close to Christmas but I can beat you on that one, my Hubby's birthday is Christmas Day and he is a twin.

Fabulous card Jules ...happy Birthday to Hubby ....

Hi Jules,
ReplyDeleteJames the Bear is my favourite LOTV Bear. So of course a gorgeous card!
My son was supposed to be going to London on Christmas Eve to a wedding!! Then staying overnight and having Christmas dinner there too. As he lives in West Sussex. he can no longer go into London. They was a bit fed up as they hadn't ordered any food for home!
Better safe than sorry.
We have a funny situation with our birthdays, as they are only 3 days apart. So as Rick's is first, his cards go on the fireplace. Then, when mine comes, his cards go on the windowsill and mine on the fireplace!!
Great fun!!
Love and hugs,
Carol xxxx
Oh, how SWEET is this?! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteHope your husband enjoyed his birthday as much as possible.
Hugs, Sarn xxx
What a lovely card for Daddy Heart, bet he loved it!! Even more changes today, I don't like it and we are still in Tier 2. things can only get better surely!? If I don't visit again before the big day I widh you and yours a healthy and happy Christmas and I look forward to taking inspiration from your wonderful blog next year xx
