Happy Birthday Kelly

 This was a quick card, I mean a quick card for me. Kelly's hubby rang the door bell, "Are you coming to the party? Can't find you on FaceBook." "Oh! Okay! Lovely! When?" "Today, in about three hours!" 

We don't really go to parties but I was weirdly knowing that we would be going ...which meant a Birthday Card! I'd only just that second spotted a design on Pinterest, nothing like this, but I thought, I'll make something like that. I've got the die cut for the wiggly bit in the middle, courtesy of a cardmaking collection kit called 'Apple Blossom'. (CraftStash had one of their offers on it some months ago) and I'd used the die a couple of times for 'paths'.  Anyway, skip all that, Here's the card.

8x8 card. All the backing paper came from a foiled 12x12 paper pad from The Range, (Craft Sensations) for about £4.00 (bargain) The small Happy B Day letters came from either, Trago Mills or The Range when we were down in Cornwall. 

 Now those Penny Black stickers~Stickeroos (hedgehogs and cats and dogs, there's a mouse on the back) I've had in my stash for about ten years! And they are still as good as new. I had a light bulb moment, wondering what I was going to use, as I was running out of time... and I needed something small, that didn't need colouring. So... Penny Black Stickers! ...all I had to do  then, was to remember where they were. 

 So as you can see I found them along with some gems from my stash. I wish I had time to add more, but I was actually sticking the mouse on the back as I shoved it into the envelope! Kelly has cats and dogs and ponies, so I hope she liked her quick card... and I hope the glue had time to dry! Later hoping to find same...
