Happy Birthday Daughter

 Tomorrow is my Sister-in-laws birthday and this is the card that I have made for my Father-in-law to give to her. I have used Tattered Lace's Natural Collection for this card (I have used this die set before for my Daughter) and the Heart die is from another set. I printed the sentiment onto card before cutting it out with the die. There are several layers to the flowers giving it lots of depth.


I've been so busy over the last week, we have signed the contract to my Mum's house and although we have not exchanged yet it made us realise that we had to get the remaining furniture and her belongings out quite quickly. So I have been backward and forwards taking photos and advertising things for sale and for free and then having to be there for collection. Also the garage still had lots of stuff in from before my Dad passed away back in 2007. It's been quite a roller coaster of emotions for both my sister and myself and it looks as though it will continue for the next week or so too. 


Thanks for taking the time to look and your kind comments which are always appreciated.

A beautiful card Sue, very delicate and pretty.
It's never easy clearing a loved ones house, so many memories - I'm pleased that you and your sister are doing it together, at least you have each other for support.

A beautiful card Sue.
I found it so hard clearing out Mum's annexe of our old house so I understand - there are so many things that you find that stir memories. You and your sister will help each other. x

Hi Sue

A beautiful card for your SIL .. .. .. gorgeous flowers and you can't go wrong with a heart!! LOL!!

It must be quite a tough time for you at the moment. It is so very hard to part with things and clear a loved ones home. Our garage and loft still contain things we brought back from my late MIL's home!!! We just don't know what to do with them!

Pleased your Sister is on hand for you to sort things together.

Thinking of you both.

Love Jules xx

A really beautiful card Sue, love your colour scheme, so elegant. It's a hard and sad time clearing a loved ones home, had to do that several times but I feel it's the last kind thing you can do for them, keep well.
