Happy Birthday Jess!

Needed to make a card for my friend's Daughter who was 14 on Saturday and after searching through my stamps, found another uninked stamp which seemed perfect for Jess - ipodabella!! Also got to use some papers/card I bought a while back and also thought I'd have a go at doing some sewing on the card - I know it's a bit wonky but was quite pleased with the overall effect!



The image is obviously a Bella and has been coloured with Promarkers. DP is My Minds Eye and used the SU scallop punch on the reverse of the DP and layered the sentiment onto it (also SU). Finished with some sewing!!

Had a couple of pieces of good news lately, (1) my Niece had her baby on Thursday morning - Ruby Jayne so will be taking the boys up to see their new Cousin this week, and (2) passed my first exam on Friday with only one error!! I'm studying from home so I can up-date my CV and get a decent job - that's one of the reasons why I haven't been about lately.

Hope you all had a good weekend - the boys are on Half Term holiday this week so must get on as we've got a busy day ahead of us.
