Wobbly Old Man and a Dog

 Popping in with a birthday card for my brother.  He's not chubby like this little guy, and he's not bald either.  He's maybe a little wobbly and definitely OLD though!  The guy and sentiment are from My Favorite Things and I used a scrap of patterned paper cut out with a rectangle die.  I mounted him on one of those wobbly things and so it looks like his belly is bouncing when you move the card! 

 I really think I'm going to have to go back to using my regular camera instead of the phone to take photos.  Everything is still fuzzy looking.  I'm a work in progress..........



  

Now on to more important things........like Rambo!  Yes, it's the 'dog' part of the title.  Rambo is doing just fine and getting older now (but aren't we all).  He'll turn 14 in January so he's getting up there in dog years.  He's getting a little more frosty in the face and feet and liking his sleep more.  Ever so often he'll get a burst of energy though and do zoomies.  They don't last long. 



Thanks for stopping by........and keep smiling!

Lynn

This card is great. I love jokes and puns and this card fits the bill. I like that pretty plaid paper. Rambo is so cute and has those eyes that just melt your heart.

Hi Lynn and Rambo! I am off the blogging, but decided to take a peek at my old list. Here you are. Sending smiles to you both.

Nice to see that Rambo is doing okay and is as cute as ever! Yeah, we are all getting older. We lost 2 of our old cats over the last couple years so we have just one cat remaining, and he is 18, so he is old. Your card is fun, cute, and funny! He will love it!

That is one great card Lynn - love the fact you made the image a wobbler.. and a fun sentiment also - it's the sort of thing I would send my brother these days.
Good to see Rambo again - and yes, like all of us, he's aging... it's sort of inevitable...
Blessings

Love the card. Simple but nicely done. Age isn't important. The end result of the journey getting there is.It looks like Rambo is eager to get going.😉

Oh gees, I like this card with the wobbly element, and it's always good for a chuckle or two to have movement in a card. Your brother will love it! Rambo looks absolutely amazing for his age! He looks healthy and happy and whatever you're feeding him is working, because I don't know of any other 14 year old dog that does zoomies! He's quite a handsome little fellow :)

Hey Lynn! It's wonderful to see a post from you as I thought you wouldn't be coming back! Your card is too cute with the older guy and of course your little Rambo senior is as adorable as ever! Hard to believe he's 14! Hope you're doing well!

Fantastic fun happy card. Rambo is gorgeous, my old cat is also showing signs of her age and gone quite grey around the eyes. Emmax

You've made a great birthday card. I like the papers you used and your card design. Rambo is to cute! great to see a pic of him again.

I need to make a pile of these, Lynn! It would be perfect for MOST of my male friends!! So great to see Rambo doing so well!! Life changes have turned me into the crazy cat lady, but you know I would have a dog if I could!!

Bonnie said...

What a fun birthday card, Lynn! Love the wobbly old guy and the plaid background! Rambo is still a handsome fella!

Great men's card! Love the sentiment. That sentiment would be great for me to put on a card for my husband. He's always complaining about being old.

Darnell said...

Your photos don't look blurry to me (still hitting the sauce, are you, like your prior post?🤣), but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who still likes using a camera! Your brother - the only who is neither chubby, nor bald - will get a big kick out of his wobbly birthday card! And what a treat to see Rambo and know he is still bringing you joy! Hugs, Darnell p.s. If it's not too much pressure, keep 'em comin'!

Great card Lynn, I love the cute image and sentiment. xx

Liz said...

.... adorable photo of Rambo too. xx

Brenda said...

Your photo's are perfectly clear when I click on them Lynn, must just be the way it looks in the computer to you but on my end, they are nice and crisp looking. I had to laugh about your brother not being fat, or old....but that he is old. Love this man you colored and love that you placed him on an action wobble! So fun!!! The pattern paper is awesome but the sentiment is even more awesome! Oh look at how handsome Rambo is! He is looking very dashing with his frost look. They say even though dogs get old, they never get to old for zoomies...just might not last very long. I guess Rambo has proven this. lol Love this photo of him! Hugs, Brenda
