Full of Busy ........

Its been a strange start to the New Year , with being poorly , but ready or not it was my Daughters 18th Birthday this month.

As usual I made her card , and this year her icon Freddie Mercury helped with the theme.

I chose this image of a statue of Freddie which overlooks the sea as I thought the colours were fab.

On the inside a classic image of Freddie with his arm held high

which held 2 black ribbons pulling a silver 18 on the opposite page.

I used some of the new Tim Holtz tissue to line the page and give it the music feel.

In the very centre I stamped the gate and frence

the hearts and wings , and a quote .

Over the page a candlestick

I also made her a birthday cake, black.....but that suits her very well.

It was my intention to add a marzipan candlestick to the cake

but when it was finished I didnt like it so it didnt actually end up anywhere but the bin ....

Shes very grown up now, dont know where those last 18 years have gone

She had a lovely birthday although spent it quietly with her friends, shes not one for fuss.

And just thought id end this post with a picture of my little Granddaughter Edie , whose coming on a treat and is an absolute joy .

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, I have the morning off work today which is a change for me , but im back there this afternoon till 8pm.

Thanks for stopping by and for leaving any comments as always its much appriciated
