Katie's 21st!

Evening All,

I hope you're all well.....I had a day off today & I knew I had to make a 21st card so I got up REALLY early, & went to Hobby Craft....well I got to the bus stop at 09.15 & the bus was due at 1/2 past - it didn't turn up til 5past 10 grrrrr! Then I had a nice mooch round Hobby Craft, bought some goodies & then remembered most of my skin tone Pro Marekers were running low, Hobby Craft didnt have them in so I got the bus from the Team Valley to Gateshead & then deceided to go to another shop, I checked their website on my phone it said they had 2 packs in stock, bus wasn't due for 20 minutes so I deceided to call them Oh & guess what they didnt ave them in stock anyway! I hate it when that happens....I'd have gone mental if I got there & they didn't have them.....so I got on the yellow bus up to Newcastle & got them from the Grainger Market - phew! Anyhoooooo enough moaning here is my card. It's for a girl I work with as it's her 21st!

I love the paper it's My Minds Eye, the image is colored with pro markers & star dust stickles, ribbon from my stash & charm from the works.....I hope she likes it. I'm entering this into Cute Card Thursday Tic Toc challenge.....inspired as the time has come for Katie to turn 21!!!!

Off to watch Celebrity Juice - Gosh I love it!!! See ya soon! x x x x

I hope you are all well today....I have another day off today woooooo & I remembered ages ago I was asked to make an 18th Birthday card for a lady who works with my mam to give to her grandaughter. Mam said liked girlie things I wanted to go pink but I got up REALLY early today & popped over to Hobbycraft on the Team Valley & fell in love with these papers.

The papers are My Minds Eye, the white patterened is flocked, the ribbon is from my stash, the 18 is from Hobbycraft too (cant remember who by though) happy birthday from craftwork cards & jewels papermania, image is Whiff of Joy City Girls, it was stamped & sent to me from the lovely Samantha & I colored it with pro markers.
