Check out last year’s birthday post to get the story – at the bottom of the post. His mother sent me a photo of… Read More: Sweet Treats Cup Card Request »

Hi there A couple of months ago my brothers eldest turned 21 and I forgot to blog the card I made for him! (I hadn’t downloaded it to the laptop). Most of us find masculine cards hard to create – try a ‘special’ birthday – that’s even harder. I happened to spot this design on… Read More: 21st Birthday Card »
