Final card before the holiday

I should be packing!!!! We are off on holiday tonight, dropping the girls off at my parents on the way ... a few days of peace and quiet for us ... but not for the grandparents LOL!!! Its been a hectic couple of days ... we were back at hsopital with Beth on Wednesday as she is still having 'funny' moments ... and then we were back again today to see the Daibetic nurse about blood sugar testing - all good fun. They don't think Beth has diabetes, they just want to check what her sugar is doing when she has one of her 'moments'.
Anyway Hubby has taken them to buy my birthday pressie (more of that later) and for a MacDonalds so I can tidy up and pack ... oh and sneak a card in LOL!! I have used the Friday Sketcher and combined it with the Just Magnolia challenge of insects and birds.

I coloured Tilda with my promarkers - still practising shading, and not sure about the pink! As I hae yet to get the octagonal nesties I cut an octagon out and put it at an angle. I added organza ribbon and some punched flowers and a swirl, and some gems in the corner. As there is bling on it I am also entering it for this week's Cute Card Thursday.

I am celebrating(?) a milestone very soon, the big 0 with a number less that 5 and greater than 3 in front of it - hence the holiday minus children. To celebrate this great(?) occasion I am going to put some blog candy on as a scheduled post - it will go on at exactly the time I was born all those years ago ... if you are interested just keep looking out for the post!!! I am going to tidy and pack now!!
