Mums Birthday Card

Good Morning All

I have dragged this one from the archives.  It is a card I made for Mum afew years ago and it was still in my photo file.  I thought I would show it to you as one of my followers, Alison, is a parchment fan.

It is coloured with felt tip pens

I made this when I used to go to a parchment class here in Spain.

I also wanted to show you what was waiting for me at Mums when I arrived in the UK a couple of weeks ago.

There was one parcel with 6 paper pads from LOTV 8x8"

Then another parcel with a mixed assortment - 12x12 papers, 12x4 papers, peeloff letters and numbers, card blanks and envelopes.

The paper pads are gorgeous too and I have used them already to make aq couple of cards.

I won these because I wrote a letter and sent pics of a couple of cards I had made in response to John Next Door being chosen as blog of the month in Papercrafting Inspirations (I think) back in summer.
I decided to show you because when I met up with John last week, he reminded me that it was me that pushed him to start his blog and me that gave him the idea for the name, as my partner is called John, so I always called him John Next Door.  Gosh how things have moved on for him, designing for Creative Expressions using alot of Sue Wilsons Dies, moving back to UK to persue this dream.

Well busy busy this week as Christmas gets closer.  Some friends going back to UK for the holidays so getting things wrapped and cards written ready to give out.  Mums arrive on 19th to accompany us to Benidorm.  Still chasing round sorting things out after getting my purse lifted.  And still getting over this rotten cold.
Have a good day.
