A flower to say thank you!

Hi there!

As I explained in a previous post, I am in need of a few more thank you cards to send to my loving family who supported me during the time I was in hospital.

By the way... today is the first day without my neck support! Freedom ... at last! I still have to wear it for another 2 weeks when I travel by car... but that's the least!

My card:

A birthday wish

Hi there!

It's been a while since I had the chance to play along with one of my favorite challenges in blogland...

I just love their sketches, and I used it to make a fun and bright birthday card.

I kept it simple and used lots of white to give it a really fresh look.

A birthday card

Hi there!

On the 13th of September 1993 we were blessed with a beautiful baby daughter!
That baby is a young lady now...who went back to Switzerland yesterday to start her second year's studies .
Wish we could be together on her birthday!

Here is little fun photo of her - Jolize (on the right) and our younger daughter (Danielle - 16) on the left.

This card is on its way to her right now.

She loves shopping and her favorite item is handbags! So I thought this stamp from Penny Black was perfect for her! The sentiment reads Happy birthday Jolize!

Entering the following challenges:

just us girls ~ sketch

dilly beans challenge ~ black&white&1 other colour
patties creations challenge ~ birthday + stamped image
perfect sentiments  ~ anything goes with a sentiment

Thanks so much for visiting me today!
