2 birthdays..

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend.

We had a lovely family get together on Saturday my brother Jobie & sis-in-law Kirsty invited us all up to their place to celebrate Guy fawkes night, we had a bonfire, fireworks & plenty of food (& i mean PLENTY of food!! - Kirsty cooked about 25 jacket potatoes & there were only 11 of us there!!!) It was a really good night & the kiddies all loved the fireworks, especially the sparklers! & the best bit was that I got to see baby Rosa again :o)

My other brother Dean, celebrates his birthday tomorrow along with his girlfriend Gloria, so I had to make two cards today..

 I tried the CAS (clean and simple) look for Deans card which I always struggle with, it's really out of my comfort zone! I quite like the way it's turned out though. I coloured the cute little doggy with my Prismacolour pencils & Sansodor which was nice as I haven't used them for ages.

Gloria's card is much more 'me'... Stampin up cardstock for a fun colour combo, lots of texture, some stamping & little bling to finish it off.

Sorry about the poor photos - It's all very wintery outside now so I'm having to revert back to taking my pics indoors :o(

Thanks for looking

Clair
