Hi Everyone, this is the card I made for my eldest brother who was 90 on the 3rd of this month. I got together some photos on my computer, and some I found going through lots in January. I added a background paper to give it a little colour and interest, then added frames and paperclips, some quotes, even a couple of red arrows to identify him in a group. Not only that, but I managed to find photos through his life from the age of three. After it was completed in Photoshop, I printed it out and layered it onto an 8 x16 inch base card, then for more interest a ribbon. I'm glad to say he was very pleased and had forgotten some photos.
His daughter and myself and our younger brother and his wife took him out for a meal. Our other brother was too unwell to come from Lincolnshire. Big brother had had a big party with the local Railway Club, (he was a fireman on the Steam Engines) who had also, with the Mayor, presented him with a fob watch engraved with his name and age, and a Great Western Railway train on the front. A beautiful gift with the memory of a big gathering especially for him.
