Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Made For Me

Made by Vicki L Phillips
 Hi Everybody,

Tomorrow is my birthday and I will be 77. 
I can't believe that and I really don't know where the years have gone.

It doesn't seem but a few years ago that my children were small and being taken to school. 

Now they have kids of their own and I have grandchildren and even great grandchildren.

I also can't believe that it is almost seven years since Griff died.  Time goes so quickly. 

I wanted to share this card with you that has been made for me by Vicki Phillips who is one of my regular readers and leaves me lovely comments too.

Vicki  has added a note to the inside of the card and it was a lovely surprise to receive it.

So THANK YOU very much Vicki for thinking of me and it stands proud in my lounge on top of my TV cabinet and I really hope you don't mind me sharing it here. 

Tomorrow I have a video for you and it is revisiting an old technique,  I shared years ago  on YouTube, so I hope you will enjoy it and maybe give it a try for yourself. Let me know your thoughts on the cards.

Bye for now ...

Hugs xx

  13. Happy Birthday, Christina.
    Have a lovely day.
    I am 75, I find it hard to believe, then I look in the mirror! I miss my lovely husband Paul so much. Nearly 6 years now.
    Taking up card making for me has helped me greatly and continues to.
    I was tidying today, and had forgotten how many of your products I have.
    Always a joy to use them.
    Have a lovely day.
    Best wishes,
    Ita.

  18. Hi Christina wishing you a very happy birthday I hope your day will be very special thanks for everything you do for us I was 77 a couple of weeks ago. It sounds really old, but I don’t feel it . Thanks for everything you do for all us followers keeping us inspired. I have to push myself to craft these days, but always try to make my family a homemade card. It’s a lovely sunny morning here in Liverpool hope it is the same where you are. Enjoy your special day. Love Anne Owens ❤️

  19. Hi Christina, Happy Birthday for yesterday and sorry I'm a little late, computer trouble! I'm a little bit younger than you and have found myself with the dubious title of...wait for it...great, great aunt! Makes me feel ancient. My great nephew was an early starter though so makes me feel a bit better. What a lovely card you got for your birthday and I hope you had a wonderful day with your fur babies and family. Bejay x

  20. Hello Christiana and a Very Happy Birthday (Belated) to YOU!!! I loved the card you received from Vicki, it's such a sunny, bright and happy card! I've seen later blog posts so I know you've had some lovely meals with family, walks with the dogs and you've enjoyed this birthday sooooo much!! I've followed you for years and while I don't post much, I'm always inspired and still find you have wonderful ideas for cardmaking!! Please keep posting and teaching us as well as reminding us of techniques that we may have forgotten about. Wishing you all the best and hope the weather remains nice for your birthday weekend. Lots of hugs from Tennessee in the USA! deborah travis moreland
