Finally back to crafting

A number of celebratory events coming up meant that I needed to get back to my craft supplies and make some cards  - these are the first two.

I very happily dived into my new Basic Grey Paper Cottage Collection, I especially loved the banners which just summed up what I wanted to say to my parents on their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

With predictable frugality I couldn't walk away from the cover paper which made two cards, combined with a border strip, alpha stickers and a stamp to make the birthday card.  I love that you can use packaging, and there are still some flowers to cut out and use - a wonderful bonus in my book!
