From All of Us

One of my good friends recently had a special birthday,

so the girls took her out to dinner to help celebrate this happy event.

Of course, a card was in order ......

but in this instance, it was a book card.

It did take a little while to make ....

and I followed the rule of "measure twice - cut once" 

[actually, I think I may have measured more than twice, but it worked!]

The birthday sentiment fits perfectly within the frame.

 

Of course, there needs to be somewhere to write a personal message.

As this card was obviously not going to fit in an envelope, 

I made a box from pink card and tied it with a pretty ribbon.

As it turned out, the gift (which another girl organised) was tucked into a 

co-ordinating little bag of similar colours - perfect!

We all enjoyed a celebratory dinner together at a very nice french restaurant.
