Happy 21st Sophie 
Whop Whop and a big shout out to the uber lovely Sophie Lowe - Oli's gorgeous girlfriend who's celebrating her 21st Birthday today.  She's one special girlie swirly and just the best girlfriend Oli could have. Sophie if you're reading this have fabulous day with Oli and look forward to seeing you later for dinner.  
Sophie & Oli 
During my Crazy Bird phase I altered another one of my 'Box It 'kits in blue and then made 20 matching note cards to go inside. This time I joined the base to the spine and added a black card section to hold the 6' x 4' note cards and envelopes in place inside.  
Such a fun project to make, and so many things you can do with a little bit of ink. I've always had a fascination for inks. Mum was a draftswoman and I remember watching and talking to her for hours while she worked. She had a box of the most gorgeous coloured ink bottles that was kept under a sideboard. They fascinated me, as they has droppers and squeezy rubber bobbles on the lids; so easy to squeeze the ink out - which I think I did all over the carpet. I got into trouble for that ...... along with many other mischievous things I 'm sure. Sarah if you're reading this roller skates and skipping elastic sprung into my mind as I was typing this!!!  Funny what you remember from when you were very small isn't it.  Anyway I digress ...............  here are the cards.

Thought she may have some thank you messages to send after her big day and she loved the colours of the stamp stand so I went blue. Just wrapping it up in pink sparkly paper and confetti .

Saw my first Dragon too :-)   After a journey that took me across the middle of the country and th...
