Happy Birthday Mum

I recently made a special card for my Mum's birthday.  I used an old Stampin' Up! stamp set as I just love "A Rose Is A Rose", especially because it can be used for quite a few different occasions and in so many colour combos :)  This card uses a whole sheet of A4 cardstock.

Hope you enjoy the pictures below:

My Mum loves shrimps and bananas, so here's a little something for her sweet tooth, lol.

Enjoy your day.
