Evening all!
Sorry I've been AWOL for a while. Life just seems to have got in the way of crafting since before christmas really. I've done a few bits and pieces though and so tonight I thought I would show you the birthday card I made for my brother. Last week 7 of us went to New York for 5 nights to celebrate my sister in Laws 30th birthday. We had the most amazing time, 5 nights was definately not long enough! The day after we got back it was my brothers birthday, so I though I would make him a USA inspired birthday card to remind him of our trip and this was the result.
