Very Happy Birthday

Hello everyone its a late post from me, I've got my gorgeous grandchildren tonight so Arjay is sat here with blowing bubbles out of his mouth while I type this lol. Payton is sat on the bean bag watching Peppa Pig on dvd lol.

Anyhoos I made this card over a week ago but then wasn't happy with it, after much nagging from my hubster I am now doing as I'm told & putting it on my blog. Men are so darn bossy ;0)

I have made another CAS style card for easier posting on those last minute cards we all need lol. I have seen these images about, then about 2 weeks ago I found they did digi images, yayyyyyy!!!

The East Of India ribbon, the button & the bakers twine are all from my stash.

The image is 'First Love' by Time 4 Tea Designs on Etsy, they are all instant downloads.

I coloured her with copics, I will add the colours later when I find the list lol. I fussy cut her out to stand her against the brick type paper ;0)

The papers are 7 Dots Studio ' Messy Head' from MCH which have been inked & machine stitched. The sentiment above her head is an old clear stamp & I curved it on the block before stamping it out. The 'HB' sentiment is a Whimsy Stamp from Bunny Zoes, its a Bingo card one.

Well thats it from me I have 2 grandchildren that I need to bath & get ready for bed & then Natalie later..........not that she llikes to go bed lol.

I am also selling my big craft cupboard, its barely been used & its sat empty since I went into my craft room. 

Thanks for stopping by, next card will be my usual kind lol.

Take care & hope you all have a lovely weekend
