Happy Birthday Little Sis


Happy Birthday to my sister Maureen (we won't go into numbers - just to say it's the wrong side of 50.
The papers are from K & Co Hopscotch collection using Rhona Farrer Flourish stamp, Prima flowers, brads and "Love" "You" charms - inked the edges and added some faux stitching. This is becoming a bit of a worry - I am addicted to faux stitching. Do you think there might be a club "Faux Stitchers Anonymous". The sentiment was generated on the computer and then cut out the circle with Cricut and added a scalloped edge. A little tip I want to share with you - I didn't have the right colour of ribbon so I used a pale cream grosgrain ribbon and coloured it with my ink pad - a great way to get colour co-ordinated ribbon.
