Cuppa, Feet Up......


............  and catch up with the papers, and probably have a forty winks and think no one will notice!  Well that's what my Granda does, so this image couldn't have been choice!

I'm so lucky to be at my age, and still have 3 grandparents.  Granda is the eldest, and he reached the Grand old age of 90 back in February.  He is absolutely amazing health wise, and such a lovely man!  So hear is my creation, I just wish I had had a bit more time with his card, but nothing unusual me running at last minute with important cards!


How clever is Digital Stamp Boutique to get such a great picture of my Granda? 
 It is so like him, all the family had a great big smile, and  I was asked several times  if I drew the picture, I wish I could!!   

below is a close up of the picture


Ingredients
Digital Stamp Boutique: Granda Relaxing
Coloured: Prisma Pencils
Background Paper: Pink Petticoat Stripes (Mocha)
Sizzix Number - cut on Pink Petticoat, doodle dots paper
Nestie Star
Cuttlebug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Sentiment printed on Computer
Brads
Paper pieced the cushion with stripe, pink petticoat paper.


For his birthday I had the job of arranging the cake for the party,  from all the grandchildren.   I had asked for decoration to be slippers, newspaper and glasses, unfortunately they gave me a cute wee gardening bear - which would have been ideal if the grandchildren were children, the youngest of us is 19 or 20 year old.  So I wasn't happy, I was more annoyed that they didn't phone to tell me, as I had ordered it weeks before and could have bought something myself, but with no time for shopping I printed another one of the image,  cut out using circle nestie, then laminated and cut with circle nestie and placed it on the corner of the cake.

The finished article

And finally, the great man, himself getting ready to cut the cake!  
Happy 90th Birthday Granda!!
