Dd's birthday card

Am particularly proud of it. She's obsessed with Winnie the Pooh and I was desperate for a way to make it 'different'.

Dh also opening his second shop on Sunday so wanted to make him a card so he doesn't sulk lol

Love it! it's fantastic i'm sure she will love it too. did it take for ever to make?

[Pixiefish]

Nah not really. I've been working on the templates for the numbers over a few days and I have from 1-5 now so I can make them to order. I saw the stickers in the local craft shop. Once I'd sorted the templates out the actual card only took a few minutes (but I have to admit to spending hours planning in my head whilst I'm feeding)

Perhaps that's where i'm going wrong, i get all my glues and glitters and stickers and ribbons etc etc ( i have so much stuff still in it's dusty packets) that i bought months back (after seeing all the fab cards on here and spending to much time in hobby craft and Ebay) then sit there with it spread all over the table with no idea what to do with any of it, then i give up and go to bed.. perhaps i need to plan first. I've only made one card so far and it took me days to make. i really like this idea of using the number and may have to copy for my DD 1st Birthday, hope u don't mind

No Vicky- no probs.

I think a lot about the planning and read magazines, look at websites etc for ideas. i generally have a couple of 'ideas' before i get everything out. That doesn't mean that i stick to the plan though- lol

It's lovely. Like the other one too.

Why thank you. As I said in my OP I am particularly proud of these as I think they've turned out well. Took some cards to my breastfeeding group today and actually sold a few
