Birthday card, album and exploding box

 My post today is just a share of the items I made for my daughter's

30th Birthday which was yesterday.

We took them both out to lunch on Thursday but we are having her

party on Sunday with the family.

I made her the card above. Hadn't made one in a long time

so surprised myself at how easy it was lol.

I also made her an Alice in Wonderland themed mini album.

I got the tutorial from Cal Summers.

I have a quick video of the album here.

The exploding box was made using the leftover papers from

the album here

Both videos are less than a minute long but much quicker to show

than taking a mountain of (bad) photos 😂

Birthday wishes tag

This is another tag for my challenge at

TAG TUESDAY.

I just played around with Framed Florets stamp set,

tiny bit of colouring and added a torn piece of vellum

that was lying on my desk annoying me lol.

I finished with some bakers twine.

I hope you get time to join us.

Lovely sunny day out there. We are still fighting the battle

against the rats outside. Think we are down to one!

I will be so glad when we are done with this, if ever!

I am waking up at night thinking I am hearing them,

so exhausting!! Might get my son to bring one of his dogs

down and give them a scare!!

Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

We have never had this problem before thanks to our wee

Squirt (RIP).😌

Sweet songbirds

Happy Monday!

I was doing a video tutorial and some cardmaking and had

this strip left over so decided to do another tag for my theme

of anything goes at

TAG TUESDAY.

I love this Sweet Songbirds set, so quick and easy to work with.

The cloud background has used lots of pastel colours.

I reckon it would make a cute bookmarker too.

We will be having a little get together for the whole family

next Sunday so between buying in food supplies,

finishing off her album, making her an exploding box and

gathering up some fun presents I am wrecked lol.

Now have to prepare 1st communion album for my Grandson

for the 6th May along with a load of cards.

Wish me luck!!

I went with a rectangle pop up box card this time.
