Happy Birthday Charlotte!

Morning everybody.

Another Sarah Kay image, this time Lucy and Kitty. Purples and lilacs again , sorry, but I had no option - Charlotte is my great niece (and she really is great!) and purple is her favourite colour. She also adores cats and kittens so this image was the obvious choice. I don't think I have left anything uncoloured this time. Lol.
She will be twelve this week. She  is also my biggest supporter I think and told me I should  have my own blog! Well, she has been on holiday until yesterday and doesn't know that I do have a blog now, so she will get a surprise. I shan't actually let her know until the end of the week though - don't want her to  see her card in advance!



I made an easel card because I haven't done this style of card for a while. Although it is very dark the little purple banner says Happy Birthday. The papers are Papermania which I have had for a few years.  Punched flowers in purple and lilac with a Hobbycraft gems and Craftwork Cards candi. I wanted to keep the embellishments fairly flat so it would go in the post easily.

Charlotte likes to craft too, so next time she comes to stay I will get her to do something and put it on the blog for you to see.

Well that's it for today. Have a great day everybody.

With love from Christine xx

Hi Christine,
your card today is very sweet and cute. I am sure you great niece will love it. She will also get very excited about your blog I'm sure. It's funny because I haven't made an easel card for sometime, but just last night I made one. Spooky don't you think.LOL. Oh and I forgot to say I love the way her legs are over the edge of the die cut. have a great crafty day everyone.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.

Hiya Christine,
Well Charlotte is going to feel the bees knees when she has the card and then sees it on your blog. I'm sure she will be feeling very special indeed. It's a lovely creation and I love purples so it stands out even more for me!!
Hope you are well. I have had the best day ever with Jake. Am going to try to find just enough energy to make a card now, then I must get around to everyone elses blogs.
Best wishes Linda x
