OK, can I pick your very crafty brains please.

My OH step-mothers husband (not OH dad) is 70 this year, and having a party. I can't go but the OH and kids will, so I need to make the effort and make him a card - don't really know anything about his interest or hobbies as we only see them once a year.

I thought perhaps of doing a card based on facts of 1939, but am struggling to find anything on UK websites, so I wondered if anyone has ever made a newspaper style card from scratch and was it easy to do.

Otherwise does anyone have any ideas of what I could do for a 70th male card, because I am really stumped - and although I hate to say it I may have to go out and buy one in the end. I have until the end of may to make something.

Thanks

Hi CT - here's some facts from 1939
I'm sure DD had a good birthday website - famous people who share your birthday, etc. I'll ask her later.

Thanks very much JailhouseBabe i'll take a look, and if your DD knows the birthday website then that would be great - it will give me more info to use.

No worries.

The piggies are cute! I`m going to make some note card sets using them.

CT - just had a chat with DD, she thinks it was Wikipedia. I've just typed my birthday (without the year) into the search box, and got lists of events/births/deaths. I've left my bithday on the link (not hinting, lol), just because it has a calender at the top and bottom of the page where you can choose your own dates.

Yes...I cant wait till they are both at home and safe...Then I can take loads of nice photos
Princesspoppy...Those handbag cards are lovely
Mumhug..great anniversary card and I love your CCC card its very cheeki
CT...have you got Publisher ? It should be easy to do with that Or how about using wordle? Does he have any hobbies? Maybe a flippin Men card
If you dont have publisher I think there are a few free version you can try
Flippin Men range...I have all off them I can always send you one
Kim...If you have a printer I can make you some spotty flowers Just PM me your email and if I get chance I will make them tomorrow if you want them let me know what colours and how many

Ok, I know I said I didn't have time to make cards this week but I've made one for the CCC challenge...



What I should have been doing is my wedding card order of 85 invites

Thanks JailhouseBabe, I'll have a look later and see what information I can gather.
