It was my birthday last weekend – if you are a regular visitor to my blog you may have seen the surprise my Pink Lady friends arranged for me from Shelli Gardner, founder of Stampin’ Up!
I received lots of lovely birthday cards, but these beautiful handmade cards were amongst my favourites …
… this one by my best friend, Deborah …
The punched hearts have been made using the retired heart to heart punch, which holds a special meaning for me and Debs. That Stampin’ Up! punch is what brought us together and I am so, so glad it did. Debs and I hit it off as soon as we met – it’s like we have known each other all our lives, sisters from another mother, and I count myself lucky to know her.
You can see more of Deb’s great projects on her blog Wrightcrafty
… and this card by my friend and upline, Michelle …
I love the colours Michelle used, and the new butterfly stamps with co-ordinating punch from Stampin’ Up are just gorgeous.
Michelle also sent me a little present…
So now I have it in black and white I guess, just like Peter Pan, I don’t ever have to grow up!
And I just had to share the card my daughter got for me …
… so elegant and glamorous.
She also had a fantastic cake made for me by her very talented friend, Eli …
… Eli modelled it on the wedding card I made a little while ago
I love the little lily she added for me, and even the font is the same as my blog!

I hope to be back with some more crafting inspiration soon
