This past Sunday we threw my Dad (who doesn't like birthdays and isn't keen on surprises) a surprise birthday party. He turns the big 6-0 tomorrow and we wanted to do something special for him (of course, nothing could be more special than getting me as a present 31 years ago! Ha! ;). My mom hired a blues duo, Izzy & Chris, to play for my Dad. It was an intimate set, just about fifteen close friends and family in the backyard for good food and music. It all worked out well, and we all had a great time.
On to today's card..
A little shabby tea cup full of pansies using Afternoon Tea Sentiments. I took some inspiration from the card I made for WMSC4. Sometimes it helps to recycle ideas.
That's it for me - I hope you have a great day!Anya
