A Challenge set by my daughter...




Laura came home from Uni and wanted me to make a card for a friend's sister's birthday - it had to include a photo of the sister and her two gorgeous boys.

I've made a few of the envelope style cards recently and thought one of those would be quite a nice idea. However,we wanted to make something bigger and with a bit more oomph! In the end I went for the envelope style but attached it to the front of a normal A5 type card - hopefully achieving the best of both worlds.

The inside words are one of my favourite family sayings 'Families are like fudge, mainly sweet with a few nuts'!!

and the white space on the other flap now has their names on in gold peel offs. I've put a piece of white scrap paper over the photo as I thought it best to cover their faces on the net but believe me when I say those two boys are so cute.

I do hope both Anthony and his sister like the card.
