I am lucky enough to be blessed with not one, but two gorgeous sisters (well that's what they tell me anyway!!). Unfotunately, due to very bad planning (!!) their birthdays fall on consecutive days, which makes February a very expensive month! Also it means making 4 cards, 2 from me and 2 from my lovely Mum, who used to be a very keen cardmaker herself until her hands got so bad with the terrible arthritis she suffers from. She much prefers handmade cards (obviously!) so I usually try to make them for her! As we have a very large family and she has loads of grandchildren and great grandchildren it keeps me busy!
Anyway, this card is for her to give - I hope she's happy with it! The beautiful image is from A Day For Daisies, the birdcage, cute little birds and ivy die are all Marianne.
Thanks for looking!
Chris
