Hello my lovely friends and
visitors, I hope your week was good and you have awesome weekend plans. Thank you all so much for your lovely
comments on my doodling faces – I do love to draw these days but am still
struggling with painting with the acrylics, but will keep practicing and learning, hopefully improving
too. I have a birthday card to share
with you today and here it is …
A 5" x 7" card
I think the background is fabulous
I adore these butterflies and that die set is so versatile!

Over at Mrs A’s butterfly challenge the current theme is red and/or recycled. I actually managed to do both for a change lol! The card that is the background is from a gift box and I have a photo to prove it and here it is …
When my mum retired from her
part time job last year she received some lovely boxed gifts. After she had taken all the goodies out of
this box she brought it around to me to see if I wanted to recycle it, the Mr
of the house groaned at this point, lol!
It’s a gorgeous pattern and so sumptuous that I knew I had to recycle it
and not have it binned. It’s only taken
me a year to remember it and starting using it!
Thank you so much for taking
the time to visit and comment. I really
do appreciate it and I hope you get some time to do what you love to do soon ttfn Karen x
