Creations by Flutterby: A Bright Birthday...

MORNING…

Apologises for shouting… but its Friday and it has put me in a good mood!

So what’s everyone got planned for the weekend? Its going to be a busy one for me. I’m going out for dinner at a new pub which has opened down the road from me with some of Adam’s friends who are visiting, then I’m working Saturday morning and then I’m out for a friends birthday on Saturday night. So in between working and recovering from an imminent headache I am hoping to get cracking on my Christmas card boxes if I don’t distracted with something else (which is highly possible)

My number one fan has been on at me again to make her another card, this time for her dad – I think I might be putting her local Clintons out of business. The brief of this card was – it’s for dad, he likes red and orange and do whatever you like! Bit vague but I thought I’d have a bash anyway! I realised I hadn’t used my Papertrey Alpha Blocks for a while so I dug them out and dusted them off and this is what I came up with. I used scraps of Pink Petticoat and doodlebug papers and layered them up and added the letters. I had recently ordered some lovely mini rik rak which was meant for my Halloween invites but I just couldn’t resist this alongside some of the old favourite bakers twine. A simple but bright and fun card – I did warn you, you would need your sunnies!!
