We've had a lovely couple of weeks helping my Mum celebrate her 90th birthday, afternoon tea at a lovely hotel by the seaside last weekend arranged by her grandaughters and yesterday my two sisters and myself hosted a meal at a local restaurant for the whole family. Today it's a piece of cake and a cuppa round my sisters to mark the actual day and then a lay down in a darkened room to recuperate lol!
I don't usually make a card from a kit, but I think this one from Docrafts was ideal. It's from the Lucy Cromwell collection and it was such pretty colours. Decoupaged it, added a bit of glitter and some flowers and voila, Mum loved it bless her. Hope you do too and that you'll leave a comment - would be interested as to how/what you would have done differently.
Beautiful she will LOVE it :)

ReplyDeleteI'm all for using an assortment of things that are available for cardmaking, and that includes kits if they've got what's needed for a particular card/occasion in them. Your card for your mum looks lovely. Sounds like she, and the whole family, have had a very nice time celebrating this momentous occasion, so I'll wish her a year of good health to follow.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, sometimes you need to make a change just for a change. sounds like you all had a brill time.
