Happy Birthday!




 Good afternoon, I'm a little late with this post as I went for my Covid booster shot this morning- all went smoothly until we got back home to find that we couldn't actually get back home- the workmen who have been putting in the broadband fibre cables all over our town for months and months - traffic lights wherever you go- even a short journey has at least 2 sets of temporary traffic lights which seem to take forever to change, decided to dig up the end of our road (no warning!) We had to go to our local garden centre (more traffic lights) and have a coffee while we waited- at least it was decent coffee!

This is my DT card for our new challenge at Sweet Stampin' where we are celebrating our 12th birthday.
I used a Stamping Bella Curvy Girl stamp, coloured with copic markers to make this CAS card, the background is stencilled.

There are loads of fabulous cards from both teams over at Sweet Stampin' please do take a look. We'd love you to join the party fun- the theme for this fortnight  is Happy Birthday- remember to stamp something!
Thanks for stopping by, have a lovely weekend
Chris

What a sweetie. LOve your design Chris. Her hair is FAB as always.
Keep your fingers crossed! Every time they dig holes near us? Once finished they tend to dig another a few yards further down the road. Seem to be never ending.

Lovely card Chris, super sweet image and great background. We have the same problem as you in our village only it’s the Water Board laying new pipes for the next 14 weeks, holes and traffic lights everywhere, think we just need to hibernate till spring!!!

You have showcased her beautifully. Love this card! Our estate has been ruined between waterworks and internet who decided to dig up one after the other. It's like a patchwork quilt here now and yes we were locked in at one stage. Organised chaos!!
