Helens Birthday Card


A card at last!
Sorry for dark photo had not realised it gets so dark quickly now.
I have been making a few cards since I last blogged but have also been updating my craft spaces, as well as starting running and getting fitter ( have lost 2 stone to date) I seemed to run out of time each day to blog.  Well a new month I am going to try and be better, as least start by showing you the cards I have been making.

This card was made this week for my sister in law
The image is from Kenny K and is coloured using my promarkers
The circle was cut using my Todo and a spellbinder die
The sentiment was done in work and then I used my corner scissors by friskars to decorate
the quote inside the card says
'well considering your age and everything!'
Happy Birthday
