My Best Friends Birthday Card.

Hi all you lovely people. Saw a challenge over at Magnolia and thought I would kill two birds with one stone, make this for the challenge and as it's my friends birthday shortly and I am always too late to make her one and have to b..b..buy her one, yes that's right, I could hardly type it! How mad is that my husband says, how much stuff have you upstairs and how much did it cost, blah blah blah...  Well I am going to put this one under his nose till it's time to write and send it. Don't know what everyone else is like but when I know I have to make a card, my Ideas dry up, I'm much better just sitting down and working without pre planning!  Hope she likes it now.
   Hope you are all well out there in blog land.
    Hugs, Sue. x
