Happy Birthday Grandma!!

Hello there!  Today is my Grandma's Birthday and I wanted to show you a special card I made for her today =)

My Grandma was born in England and then moved to Canada to be with my Grandpa after the war - she was his nurse in Englad when he was injured during the war and they made plans to meet back in Canada after the war ended to be married, I love that story, so romantic!

Well getting back to my card, since Grandma is from England she would always have "tea time" when I was visiting, so I thought it fitting to make her a "tea" card.  Here is a picture of my card.....
 SUPPLIES USED:
* 6.5 x 5 Card & Envelope
* Image & Tea for Two sentiment:  Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps -Lulu & Libby
* Copic Xpress Paper

* Pattered Papers:  First Edition Paper 6x6 Pack - Animal Antics
* Green Cardstock:  Creative Memories - Apple

* Ribbon:  Green Cordaroy from Michaels Christmas Celebrate Collection
* Large Orange Brad: from my local $Store
* Happy Birthday, Grandma & Inside Sentiments: Michaels $1.50 bin
* ColorBox Chalk:  Tangerine & Lime Pastel
* Ink for inside:  Close To My Heart - Orange
* Glue Dots (to put down ribbon)
* ATG

Here is a picture of the inside of the card.  I left lots of room to write to my Grandma about how much I enjoyed out tea time together when I was growing up.....
