Grandma's birthday card




I made this special card for my grandmother who will turn 91 at the end of this month. I have never been very close to her, since I have always lived far away, but since she moved in with my parents, I have gotten to know her a little bit better ( as well as you can from half-way across the country!). We will get a chance to see her in July, but it has been 2 years since we saw her, so I wanted to make something special!


I tried to keep this one fairly simple so that she would be able to see it, but I could not help adding some flowers and bling:) All of the cuts for the flowers came from Accent essentials, just various sizes, and I cut the same pieces from 4 different colors so I could layer them.



Challenges that I will be entering this in:


Sentimental Sundays- Handmade flowers




Designed 2 Delight- Handmade flowers




The Paper Shelter- Black, White + 1




Crafty Catz- Pink, Black and White








Ladybug Crafts INK- Black, White, + 1












Crafty Ann's- Happy Birthday
