Happy Birthday with a Beautiful Bird

Hi My Crafty Blog Friends

The weekend is here. I hope you have something nice planned. We are meeting our daughter for veil shopping and she wants to get some other things for the wedding  as well. She is staying over night so she will be here for Mother's Day which is nice.

I have been making birthday cards again. This one was made from the left over bits from a larger card I made. As all the papers and card were out  this card didn't take long to put together.


I chose the image first and then I found papers and a ribbon in my stash that would suit. 


This has to be my favourite Happy Birthday die it is the one designed by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. I cut it once in green and once in black so I could create a shadow. I think this helps the sentiment to show against the background. 


This is another Pollyanna Pickering image from a Creative World of Crafts pad that I have. I do love 
her images. 



Our Magnolia tree is looking amazing this year. I thought I would share a couple of photos with you. The blooms aren't  usually this pink.


Have a great weekend. I will let you know how the shopping goes. 


Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Another beautiful card Jackie and suitable for either a lady or a man's special day.
Your magnolia tree looks fabulous and very pink. My white trees are just starting to flower although our pesky squirrel has been munching on quite a few of the buds.
Enjoy your veil shopping, I am shopping too this weekend but for lights and curtains.
Happy Mother's Day, I hope your daughter spoils you rotten.

Lovely card and it all matches beautifully I struggle using patterned papers with images Most of the time I end up using plain coloured backgrounds
Hope the shopping goes well A few emotional tears I expect but for all of the right reasons
Your Magnolia tree is stunning
You mentioned on my blog about getting married in Aldershot I bet you'd be able to find a really nice old map St Albans ain't that pretty!

I do like the Pollyanna images and have wondered about investing in them but not done so yet. I feel I have too much stash that I haven't even used. The tree is gorgeous.

Hi Jackie,
I too love the Pollyanna Pickering works of art as they are so very wonderful.
Your card is so very wonderful and a super, super design also.
I love that image of the bird it's so super.
oh my that Magnolia tree is awesome and very beautiful.
I have a much smaller one in my garden which has just started to flower.
Not having mine for very long is there something I should know that makes it looks so spectacular.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
