Birthday Boy

Good morning all.
I hope you are all well.
Sorry for being absent again but my mojo is really not playing at the moment.

Anyhoo 11 years ago today ( a Sunday too), i was just waking up in hospital after spending the night there with contractions i couldn`t feel.
9am arrives and i am drinking a cuppa and having a chat with a student midwife when my waters broke.
Without going into too much detail i was quite close to labour, it had all happened in my sleep.lol.
A frantic phonecall from the hospital to my Hubby & Mum and i was taken down the delivery suite.
9.50 am my Hubby & Mum arrived to find me walking around the room eating toast and chatting to the midwife.
Just 20 minutes later we had a tiny 5lb 10oz buddle of love in our lifes.
Happy Birthday Jack, love you.xxx
So here is my card for his Birthday today, far from on form at the moment but i know he`ll like what is inside.
I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
1.Chocolate, coffee & cards Challenge - Challenge 82 - No circles
2.Fantastic Tuesday Challenge - Challenge 68 - Anything goes with something recycled (recycled marvel ribbon from around some pj`s)
3.I Love Promarkers Challenge - Challenge 252 - Hobbies (as my son says when i say he needs a hobby, `gaming is a hobby mum) ... please delete if not appropiate ladies.
5.A Gem Of A Challenge - Challenge 136 - Birthday card for a boy

Products used are:
Black card
Papers
Recycled marvel ribbon from some p.j`s
Distress tool

A close up of the fab image.

and a sideways view.
Thanks so much for popping by :D
I am off to put up some banners and balloons outside now.
My laddo is having his best friend over for the day for dinner, a film and no doubt gaming.
Lotsa Hugs
Nic.
