Happy Birthday

Friday is Chas' Birthday and this is the card I made for him. It is getting increasingly difficult to think of what to make for him that is different to the year before. The subject causes more pains as his interests are such that I do not have stamps for them. So I decided on "Time" for this one.

Think they call this a tri-shutter card. I have seen it on one or two blogs and thought I would have a try at it myself.

Here it is opened out. You can see I have gone a bit slushy and sentimental this time and the main wording is "Time flies when I am with You" - quite true, we never seem to have time to get bored with one another.

I have attached a piece of chain from the ear of one face to the ear of the other to link them and there is a watch charm dangling below the "Time face". Maybe I should have loaded a larger picture!

The other words are "We all have our time machines, Some take us back, They are called memories, Some take us forward, They are called dreams" and "Don't count every hour in the day, Make every hour in the day count".

Hope he likes it. Think I will do this card in my next workshop for Paddy.
