Good Morning Ladies,

Firstly this morning I would you to join me in wishing our Dear Friend Karen a very 

Happy Birthday, I hope you have a lovely day with family and friends and special hugs from Oscar xxxx

I felt terrible that I hadn't got round to sharing the rest of my Birthday cards, so today I have featured all of those that hadn't already been shared, I had so many beautiful cards, each one I treasure, the fact that each of you took the time to make a card means such a lot to me. 

Karen used a selection of Sue Wilson dies, including the fantastic "Happy" die set to create her card, I was 'on the fence' about this die, but the more I see it used the more I like it, thank you Karen xxx

Sue, I felt very honoured that you had used your "strictly for stroking" paper collection for my birthday card!!  Sue and I both have this Papermania collection and we are both reluctant to use them, Sue also used the 'Lyra' Die from Creative Expressions Gemini die collection.  Thank you Sue, I love it xxx

Margaret, you also used some of my favourite paper collections for my card, from Anna Marie Designs of course, I love how you have used that corner die to create a frame for the birthday cake, it shows how far you have come with your card designing.  Thank you so much Margaret xxx

Pat, you created your own pretty background with stamps and the used one of the creative Expressions New York collection die sets for the focal element of your card, finished with a fabulous "Happy Birthday" die cut.  Thank you so much Pat xxx

Cheryl has used the Pleated card tutorial to create her card, I cannot believe the accuracy though, the pattern across the card including that line are all

 Perfectly straight and matched up! Finished with that gorgeous Pearl trimmed lace, thank you so much Cheryl xxx

Anne has used Sue Wilson's 'Fire and Ice' technique to create the stunning background for her card, it is so bright and sparkly, the pattern in the background is made using a mini striplet die, it is gorgeous, the camera just doesn't do it justice, I do have a secret yearning for those Noble Oval dies too, thank you so much Anne xxx

Michele made me an absolutely amazing 'pop up' card,it doesn't matter how old you are, opening a pop up box card still has the 'wow' factor, my favourite colour too, it is a mini work of art Michele, thank you so much xxx  

PS.. I was going to suggest that you make a load of these for your sale table, but thinking about it, I don't think you would get enough money to cover the time it takes you to make them!  Maybe have a couple as the height and sparkle would look fantastic as part of your display xx

Paul's back in work today so its just the girls and I at home again today, I got Paul to get the bits in for them to make their own pizzas for tea, that should give them a break from homework, I will be taking easy, I really haven't shaken this sore throat all week, it has been particularly bad this last couple of days and the glands in my neck are huge, I feel generally yuck, but I want to sit and play with my stamping tool today. 

Lynda I have finally sorted a box for your Frame, I will be sending it via Hermes I think, just to make sure it arrives safely and in one piece, sorry for the delay, its a pain when Paul's at work most of the week! Xxx

Janet, special hugs on route to you today my lovely xxx

Love and hugs for the rest of you too,

Sandra
