Birthday cards for mum

First things firsts the cards, I had to make one for my Dad to give to my mum, this one looked a bit boyish but it wqas fun making the card out of paper I've had for aaaagggeesss rather than stamping or computering it makes it more 3D. I pinched the idea from Quick and Crafty (May Issue I think) but I’ve used whatever paper I had in me cupboard.

This card is sunbathing in the glorious sun we had at the weekend

I heart from my dad to my mum, the Birthday wishes on white paper (cream) was an add on I must admit I some how in my rush managed to stamp wishes upside down so needed to do it again only this time to cover the first mess

And then this one was from me, made by me and whole idea by me. I got to use some more of my papers, my mum sent me once upon a time ( I felt like I was cleansing myself using these old papers) I've inked around the edges...

Can you see how messy my mum's craft room is (sorry mum) of course mine is nothing like that...

... and bit’s (flowers) from the Studio Calico kit I had for my birthday...

...and stamped happy birthday (with a gypsy stamp that's always to small to use, but finally got a use)
