50!!!

 I'm here to share my latest make for 'Cardz 4 Galz' where for the next fortnight we want to see your 

BIRTHDAY

I decided to make a card for my step-sister Jo who was the big 50 last week! I haven't posted her card, as I think when all this is over we are all going to have a big get together (our first grandchild will have been born by then too!) & celebrate things that have been missed, while on lockdown....Mothers Day, our eldest daughters birthday, step sisters birthday, my hubby's birthday & the birth of Harvey which is only just over 5 weeks away now!!! So a big party is going to happen lol!!!
