Hello again folks. My card today was one that I was asked to make for a 21st Birthday recently. The young lady in question is an avid Marilyn Monroe fan and even has her bedroom done in the same style. She certainly was a lovable actress of years gone by and another generation has found her and the fabulous films she made. The card was 8 x 8 and I really enjoyed looking for images etc to fit the request. The theme was pink and black with some animal paper added. I also added lots of Black and Diamond gems to bling it up. A huge pink satin bow gave it the look that I wanted. I know it was very much loved by the recipient and so I was happy too.
Andrew had his hand op done yesterday, so hopefully things will get better now before he has his knee surgery later on in the year. Beautiful sunshine this afternoon, although we had a few downpours this morning. Strange how quickly the weather changes. I hope you have all had a good day and having fun crafting. Hugs Rita xxxx
