Lucy's birthday

Hello all! Well it was a lovely day yesterday - my little girl Lucy had her 9th birthday - not so little now is she???? Here's some pictures:







There was a bit of a Harry Potter theme going on - I think she'd give Hermione Grainger a run for her money! My cake was appreciated - although we all had a giggle at my attempt at Harry Potter!!! 

So no time to make anything today - so I have my July ATC swaps to share with you:


I used a klimt panel from chocolate baroque to make mine this time - I was going to use black but got swayed towards the gold embossing powder - stampendous detail. 


I also used distress inks to make these.


These are the ones I received in return. Need to get Augusts made now - if you fancy joining us click on the bar in the sidebar - Jo hosts the challenge and I'm sure she would love to hear from you!

Big hugs and thanks for all your well wishes for Lucy!

Big Hugs
