It's your Birthday

It has been six months since I last posted on my blog, I would like to say a big thank you to those of you that have emailed, messaged and left comments asking if I am OK, your kindness is much appreciated.  I am OK, I have a few ongoing health problems but nothing serious I have just taken a well needed break from blogging and social media.

I will not be posting or commenting as regularly as I used to but I am going to keep my blog going because I am still crafting and I do enjoy sharing what I make and seeing what everyone else is up to as well.

This is a Birthday card that I made using a Crafter's Companion Die along with papers from the Sara Davies Birthday Party paper pad, I used a combination of paper piecing and inking.


I found a verse on the internet and added a few stamped stars on the inside of the card.


Thank you for visiting my blog today and thank you for all of the lovely comments that you leave, they are all read and much appreciated.

I am so happy to see a post from you again after being away for so long! I'm also happy to hear you're doing relatively well. I still keep getting lots of your comments in my spam folder from 2012 and up? I just had another one in there today, so I can't imagine how that's happening, and I wonder where they've been for all these years? They're coming in trickles. It's just odd.
Your birthday card is just delightful with the festive cake and party hat and I wish you happy days ahead! WB hugs!

So glad to see you are back, I have missed your inspiration.Since you blogged so regularly and did not mention a break I was once of those thinking something serious could have happened to you, so glad that wasn't the case.
Love your card with die cutting and colors that work for both males and females.
