A Birthday Pint ......

Hi everyone, I hope you are having a good week.   I have been away for 5 days at Euro Disney and had such an amazing time!  Grace loved every minute of it as we all did!  Seeing her little face and hearing her say wow and amazing so many times just made it so special!  This is one of the 1337 photos I took whilst I was there, I think they will keep me going in scrapbook pages for quite sometime!

Two Leaving Cards

Hi everyone, please see previous post for my blog candy winner. I just thought I would share some cards which I made for two ladies who are leaving my team at work as they are being made redundant. I work for a County Council so we are undergoing lots of cuts at the moment. I am also being issued with a redundancy notice in January but I'm hoping that funding will come through and it will be cancelled but I just don't know if that will be the case at the moment. At least I am finished work for Christmas so I'm not going to think about it for a few weeks.

The adorable image on my card is from the Digi stamp Boutique and I think is just perfect for this theme of card.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
