Birthday cards to share


At work this month we have 3 birthdays.


One was mine so didn't need to make myself a card but here are the other two cards.


The first card is for a very dear friend who I have known for at least 15 years and she loves her shoes so this image from Bugaboo was perfect.




The bottom backing paper is from nitwits collection Merry Christmouse Solids

and I used the pc to make the others matts and added a few gems to finish.




This Second card for another dear friend who can never make up her mind what cake to have.

so another Bugaboo image has been used.





again I have used Nitwit backing papers and my pc for the matts and sentiments added a few gems to finish.
