Happy Birthday


 This is my second post today.





I made this card for a dear friends birthday.  It is a four panel card and you can
find the directions here.   I have had this background paper in my stash
for many years (probally 15-20) and decided it was time to use it, it reminds
me of Monet's style of painting.  I used die cuts from numerous stamp
companies to compliment the paper. 

If you would like to wish Diane a happy birthday, her blog is:

  5. I am not surprised you kept that paper for so long. It really is pretty and very much like a Monet painting. I have visited his gardens and house in France a few years ago now. Thankyou for coming and playing in the butterfly garden with me. Hugs Mrs A.

  10. Donna, thank you so much for your kind words on my blog and for becoming a follower. I went to follow you back and saw that I had already been following you! I’m the third person on your third page of followers (at least that’s how it shows up for me). I enjoyed looking at your GD page and think that’s a brilliant idea to have a link to those.
