Morning Betty 50th Birthday Card

Its crazy how much time passes so quickly between being able to post but I hope you like the card I have made.

I made this card for a girl in work for her sister in-laws 50th birthday, I didn't have much time to make it so I went back to my very favourite Simply Betty stamp, morning betty. Its always a worry making a card for someone with a free rein but thankfully she loved it, so much she asked me to make her another for a 21st but in A4, now that will be a challenge but I have ideas floating around in my head and they include Bettys secret release from last month. Hopefully they'll not be a secret for too much longer and I'll get to share it with you xox


For the card I coloured Betty with promarkers and used the plain part of some paper I got free from a magazine, I hand stitched the grey strips to give it a little interest and added some liquid pearls to the centre of the flowers after giving them a 3D appearance. Off course theres always glitter, because everything always looks prettier with glitter. Inside it reads "getting old aint for sissies - Betty Davies".
I'm so glad she liked it. 

Miss Maggie was a little rascal today, my lovely boyfriend who was looking forward to his BLT all day (I know because I tried to steal it last night) had just settled himself in front of the rugby with his sandwich when the air turned blue, and I mean Ive rarely heard him swear. Missy had snatched his sandwich!!! she was literally in the dog house :-(

Id like to enter this card into Simply Bettys Anything goes Challengehttp://simplychallengedchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/

Grandad meets Maggie


Grandad finally got to meet Maggie, he just loved her and thankfully she was good as gold. Grandad is 81 and just loves dogs, so much he always has dog biscuits in his pockets for any he meets when he's out and about. 

Thanks for having a look xox
