As most of you know I have been pretty irregular at posting in the last few months, however, all that was about to change last week, when Annie asked if I'd made her card yet, so she said she would like an envelope style card this year with lots of mixed media work on it. So I gave it a go and as her birthday is today I can show you her card. A few weeks ago our dear friend Astrid did a similar card and so I used her guidelines to get the measurements etc. So with out further ado here is Annies card and she loved it too, she did this to help get my mojo up and running again and it worked. Looking forward to the arrival of Anne Redfern and her husband David, hope the weather gets a bit better as we have a few trips organized and they also want to go over to Arran . Next Monday Astrid is coming through and we are all going over to Annies for a craft 'n chat day.
Take care everyone and we will take lots of pictures to share.
Happy Birthday Annie. xxxx Hugs Rita xxx
