Lucy' birthday!

Hello Lovelies - well its Lucy's birthday today - my big girl has reached the heady heights of 9 years old! Well she does at 8.35 tonight - but hey - we'll celebrate all day! Actually she's off to the gym for most of the day but we have a family tea going on tonight and she's probably tearing packages open as this goes live!!!! I hope she has a really happy day!!! I made her cake yesterday - its okay - but my version of Harry Potter leaves alot to be desired - lol! I can bake but sugar craft aint my thing!!!! I'll post a picture tomorrow! What I can show you is her card!


Its those crazy birds!!!! ha ha - Lucy fell in love with these a while ago so I know she'll love it! I've used the bird stamps and dies and also the extra stamps - but I don't have the extra dies as yet so had to fussy cut the hats and flowers and parcels.


The background was made using distress inks and layering stencils from Tim Holtz.


I'm sure she will be happy with this card - I hope she likes her harry potter themed cake too!!!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:



I had a lovely day yesterday and went for a fabulous run with my friend Rose - we ran from Hornby to another local village - over some hills - it was amazing - the views were spectacular!


We did enjoy it!!!

Running with two other friends today - in Lancaster this time so the views will be quite different!

Have a great day! Big hugs to you!
