Both of our Grandsons' have Birthdays in December . One at the beginning and one at the end. They are both growing up so fast and I really struggled this year to come up with a card idea for them. Grandson number two liked his so hopefully grandson number one will like his too.
Grandson number two is the younger but his birthday comes first. I have this number set by Sizzix with comes with the 'today' as part of the set so created the card above.
I had to make Grandson number ones' card slightly longer to accommodate the extra year.
Just getting over a really bad cystitis attack and as I don't want a repeat attack over christmas have spent a fortnight trying to get a prescription made up on a just in case basis. Fingers crossed I won't need to use it but a bad attack is usually followed quickly with another one and then I can go months without a problem. They come completely out of the blue so best to be ready me thinks.
Hope everyone is just about ready for Christmas. I managed to get my cards all posted out in between the postal strikes and presents delivered by the couriers.
Have a lovely time and take care.
Hugs

Two fabulous masculine cards for your grandsons, and it can be so difficult to find the right theme when they are teenagers, but these both fit the bill perfectly Mrs. A. Sorry to hear you have had cystitis which is a nasty thing, and wise to have some medicine in the cupboard ready just in case, and hope it doesn't happen and you have a great Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year too. x
Totally with you on the prep for that one Valery Anne, I now keep something you can pick up in the chemist which they just call Cranberry Sachets, don't get rid but seem to ease things until real relief is available.
Happy Christmas and hope you don't get any flare up's.

Fabulous cards and a great idea with the numbers. Good idea to be prepared, and I do hope you have a pain free peaceful Christmas and happy crafty new year xxx
I reckon the boys will love these cards. Sorry to hear you've not been well and hope you can get the prescription. Trying to make any sort of appointment seems to have become increasingly frustrating and stressful nowadays. Take care and have a good Christmas - all the best for 2023 xx
Ooh two wonderful cards for your grandsons Mrs A and l am sure both will absolutely be over joyed to receive them they are just gorgeous plenty of love has gone into them, sending lots of Christmas wishes and a Happy new year take care stay safe xx
These are great cards for teen boys. It's hard to make them cards at this age and these are perfect. I hope you are all healed by Christmas and are able to enjoy the holidays. Merry Christmas.
Brilliant cards for your grandsons Mrs A- I think teen boys are the hardest to make cards for, this is a great idea!
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas

Just back reading your posts more thoroughly, Mrs A didn’t read family card post properly just a quick skim in proper read they sound so much more complicated!
Well done on perservering.
A very clever idea for cards and do pray you avoided the second attack, a nasty infection so you’ve my sympathy I also had meds made up just in case of a flare up.. be prepared and all that.
Prayer hugs,
Shaz.x
