Special Birthday

Hi Everyone
Hope you are all well and looking forward to Easter.  Apologies for my absence over the last few days but I have had a busy time.  It was my wonderful Mum's 70th birthday at the weekend.  I had family come to stay for the weekend and we went out for a celebratory meal on Saturday night.  A good time was had by all but no time for blogging.  Anyway, I have the next six days off work so hoping to get lots of crafty time in.

Today I thought I would share the card that I made for my Mum's special birthday.


I used mainly white for this card together with gold mirror card.  Several dies were used including a marianne die and a free champagne glass die that I got with a magazine.  I embossed the background with my swirly folder and added lots of flowers and bling.

Thanks for popping by and would love to know what you think.  I really do appreciate all the lovely comments and support that you give me.  Hoping to get round to visiting some of your lovely blogs this evening.

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's indeed the ONLY reason women in this country get to live 10 years longer and weigh on average 42 lbs less than us.

(And really, it is not about genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING to related to "how" they are eating.)

P.S, I said "HOW", not "what"...
