65th birthday

Can you believe it 2 post within minutes of each other, all or nuffin ay?

The card was done for my baby brother, who has a library of books, he also has a cat, so a perfect match in this great image from Elizabeth Dulemba, HERE  I have used a few of her images this last couple of months, I just love the simplicity and fun of them and they are SO very easy to colour on my 'puter.

The papers I designed myself, you can get them here, Here if you want to download them that is.

 I cut the shape from a shape I have saved in my SVG files, but silly me hasn't saved who it's by or from, if you know and tell me I will give credit.  I also faux stitched around the shape with my ballpoint pen.  First time I have done it and I actually  like what I did, may use it again!

Hi Faith, sorry for my lack of visits too, life sure intervenes with blogging huh? I've had a look back and you've made some lovely cards, I particularly like the Mickey Mouse under the weather one and the twins card is lots of fun! I love the personalised cards that you make for friends and family they are so good, Hugs Gay
