This card is for my friend Jo who lives on the Gold Coast. It was her birthday this week. She has only recently had her second baby and it is a little boy, so the next card I will make her will be a baby card. I followed the sketch from Stamp With Fun. I was looking for a more complicated sketch today and the current challenge was perfect. I used this gorgeous Tilda for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge "Happy Birthday" for their 1st Birthday Celebration. I went on their celebratory blog-hop and was inspired by the gorgeous cards and some of the yummiest candy I have seen in awhile! Do pop over and check them out, you wont be disappointed.
The DPs I used are from the Kaiser Craft Prairie Lane Collection. I just love them and I purchased these papers some time ago and have been saving them for a special project. I coloured Tilda with SU ink pads, markers and aqua painter. The flowers are from my dwindling stash that needs replenishing super fast! The sentiment is from my overused SU "Oval All"collection.
My last day of the weekend today before I go to work tomorrow. It has been a busy and productive weekend. On Saturday Mum and I planted plants in our huge garden out the front of our house (this took 7 hours). On Sunday we had a family lunch at our place and we sat out under the trees which was lovely and cool.
On Monday I had an interview in town to give me my approval to teach in NSW Public schools, and today Dad came and spread the dirt where we are growing our new lawn and prepared the bonfire for my 30th birthday coming up. So lots has been happening. I hope you are having a productive and happy week. Thanks so much for visiting my blog today.
