Well, how did that happen!

Good morning blogworld

I have no idea how this happened, but it's TTT (The Troublesome Teen - also known as The Daughter Emily)'s 14th birthday today.

I'm currently surrounded by baking paraphernalia, as the first cake I made just doesn't look right, and am on second recipe, gone back to the good old chocolate sponge! 

So I'm not hanging about, but I did want to share the picture of the balloons we got for her - a fantastic local company who make marvellous balloon displays - and the card I made from me for her.

I'll be sharing the card I made for her from her Dad another day. I know it's odd, but as there are only the three of us we get her a card each otherwise it's a very sad display of one card! Well until the ones from her friends start appearing - then she gets more cards than I ever have!
 

So balloons (with the Father's Day display snuck in too!):

And card:

I used:

Digital Stamp: Sweet November Stamps - Zodiac Girl : Cancer

Coloured with Copics

Papers: Prima - Fairy Flora

Die: MFT - Stitched Rectangle STAX

Anything else: Sentiment from Craftwork Cards and Bling from my stuff

Maybe, if she gives permission, I'll stick a picture up of her which will explain why all my girls are coloured with red hair!!

Really do need to run now, got things to be doing,

Signing off,

Sarah

As Yu Like it Challenge: Favourite Tip (and use it on your entry) - Weeellll, my favourite tip is not to stress too much about things that go wrong!!  The background for this image should have been a sky - it looks like bubbles! Also I nicked the cardstock I mounted the image on, so it's a bit rough.  Finally I don't like the where the three gems landed up, personally think it'd flow more if they were off the image but they stuck really well when I put them on the image and I couldn't move them!  All that stress and my daughter really loved the card - I got a 'it's wonderful, Mummy' - she didn't see what I did wrong, she only saw a card I'd made for her!
