A grumpling party

Hello lovely people,

One of my friends turned 40 a few days ago so we went to a gathering in the pub yesterday to celebrate (commiserate?!).
A lot of my friends are going to be turning 40 over the next 2-3 years...and yes, Dr. Hubby and I are included in that group too!

So, here's the card I made for my friend;

I really don't think he felt this way about it but these party grumpling stamps do make me giggle.   This is the first time I have used more than one of the characters together, using some masking to make a little scene.

I snuck in a bit of my fave corrugated card and of course, I had to put the age on there too!

I hope you all had a fab weekend whatever you were doing and that the week ahead is good to you :-)

Thanks for visiting and I really appreciate any comments that you leave,
