Dad's 60th Birthday Card - Part 2!

Ok, here we are with the second post for my Dad's 60th Birthday Card - the mammoth card, lol! This is the inside page, page 5...

My Dad absolutely loved his card (so did Hubby, Mum and my Brother!). It's his 60th birthday today - Happy Birthday Dad xxx I had to go to hospital this morning, just my normal 6 monthly visit to London but that meant I had the day off work so we went round to see Dad and had a birthday lunch with cake and candles and everything! Well who says you have to grown up at 60?!

I've got another card to post so be sure to pop back soon!

Lots of love

Dad's 60th Birthday Card - Part 1

Hi All,

And how is everyone? I am absolutely shattered, been soooooooo busy at work and having to do 10 hour days at the moment :o( No fun at all! Have managed to fit in a bit of card making though starting with this card, my Dad's 60th birthday card. I couldn't think what to make and knew it had to be a special card, then it came to me.....a scrap book card documenting Dad's life! I stuck two 8x8 inch cards together and decorated all 5 sides of the mammoth card - It took me the whole weekend to get all the stamps together but I'm soooooo happy with the result. Here's the first lot of piccies, I'll detail where I got everything from after each page!
