Happy 21st Birthday Badu

 Afternoon All,

Today is a very special day. It is the 21st birthday of my eldest Granddaughter Megan, or Badu as the youngest Grandchildren affectionately call her.

I can't believe where all those years have gone to. She arrived on my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary so there has always been that extra special bond between us all.

Megan is not a flowery girl so making a card for her was a bit of a challenge.

She does like black and purple so I went for a piece of Cosmic background paper from my stash and worked forward from that.

The layered hearts are Tonic dies but I had to add the outer slightly floral die cut as the inner plain ones were just not quite big enough to hold all the other die cuts that I wanted to add.

I also added a fussy cut LOTV image. I do love them for cards.

Megan's arrival on the day of my Mum and Dad's anniversary didn't stop our attendance. So here she is at approximately 8 hours old. Four generations of us celebrating both her arrival and Mum and Dad's special day.

My Dad couldn't have been more chuffed to have met his first Grandchild.

My Mum had fallen a couple of days before the party, while cleaning the windows, so she looks rather battered and bruised. But she and I were also ecstatic about Megan's arrival and flying visit to the celebrations. She has been a bit of a party girl ever since.

It's a shame that we can't celebrate her 21st in the same manner, but given the current restrictions it is a definite no no. I can see that we are going to have to have a huge family get together when it is allowed, to celebrate all the milestones that have been unmarked during lockdown.

For the moment I will just settle for a hug, and the hope that she is having a fabulous day.

I will probably get told off for sharing these photos, but it's too late now lol.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Hugs Kimx 

Happy 21st

Evening,

Every year I make a card for my Boss to give his daughters on their birthdays. It's a good job that I have them in my planner, cause he has stopped reminding me that he would like me to make them lol.

This year it is a very special birthday,

so I knew that he would want it celebrated in style.

I used my Tonic heart dies and die cut numbers along with a piece of Clarity background paper.

The sentiments stamped along the side of the paper are from a Sheena stamp set.

Boss always likes the girls name on their cards as they are impossible for him to get under normal circumstances.

Finishing this is as much as I can manage today. I'm so glad that tomorrow is Friday, I really have to get another special card finished and write Christmas cards, and at the moment the only thing that I fancy doing is sleep.

Night, night.

Hugs Kimx
