Happy Birthday

to a very special lady, who will soon be my daughter-in-law.

A friend of mine sent me a card with this same design, I loved it so much that I had to try making one also and I was so pleased with my first attempt at a Dutch Barn Fold card.

Chin Up Buttercup

Today I have another card using Sketch #248 for Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and I've used another of Di Digi Downloads.  As a child, we had a farm and I would make Daisy Chains out of Daisy's and Buttercups.  I know that they were both weeds but I loved them both and they always made me smile and looked so pretty together.  

Sketch #248

Here's a quick look at the inside of my card.  In my posting I said how easy this cad is and a great way to use up those scraps.

MY VERY FAVOURITE FRUIT STRAWBERRIES
