I've been holding back on this creation as it is for my son's birthday..today..HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAIN!...he won't have time to look in his busy schedule!
When on his honeymoon he and Nicole wet diving and when I saw this in a sale at Samuel Taylor's I had to have it as it felt it was so appropriate and a bit of a laugh too.
I think they are Stampendous stamps, and the set consists of the image and a word stamp (seen in next picture) made from the word Scuba. For the card I used the letters and then hand wrote my own words (writing not brilliant).I added glitter to the bubbles but it doesn't show up much on the photo.
As always grown up sons want money (they apparently have everything) so I made a wallet using the original word stamp this time on the outside and another of my own design on the inside.
The 'It's your Birthday' stamp is a wooden one I have had for ages.
I might be from Yorkshire but I am not that tight...I did add more notes before sending!lol
It took me ages to think up the slogans! I hope he is pleased and has had a laugh..I await his feedback!!
Phew that was a bit of a long one.
We had a lovely weekend with my 'bestie' and hubby from Lancashire, we went to York on Saturday and for some culture we took them to The Hepworth in Wakefield on Sunday. Hoe you all had a good one too.
Best get on with some chores, and then visit the craft room and see if inspiration strikes.It is so tidy at the moment that I don't want to mess it up...sad isn't it!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments that keep me going and really are appreciated...time is precious and I am touched you spend some of yours visiting my blog.
Take care and keep well.
Hugs Carole x

Oh my, Carole, your card for your son totally cracks me up - and how clever you are sticking with the 'scuba' theme/acronyms. Fabulous! I think we can safely say the card, and its contents, of course, will have him mighty happy! Your weather sounds like ours; fall has definitely settled in, with gusty winds, drizzle and clouds. Fingers crossed the stuff that begins with "s" stays away for a while longer; I'm not ready to transition into winter just yet!
