Just Magnolia - Mina's sketch

I am still taking time out from the blogging ... life is so hectic at the moment, and with Ellie at school now I feel I need to spend time with her when she is at home. Beth has had a great birthday ... it is still going on and will until Monday when the last of the adoring Auntie's visit! I am doing a sneaky post while dave and one of the girls' aunties baths them and does the bedtime thing!! I will try to get a pic of Ellie in her uniform for another post.

Mina has done a fantastic sketch over at Just Magnolia, and it provided me with an ideal opportunity to get one of the many children's birthday cards we have coming up done!
I watercoloured my image and used these fab papers from K and Co. I added buttons and gold braid, but have just realised that the sentiment is still somewhere in my craft room ... I say that as I made the card yesterday and then turned my room into a bedroom for the girls as we have friends staying ... so the sentiment could be anywhere!!
