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

* Ribbon: Green Cordaroy from Michaels Christmas Celebrate Collection

* 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)

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.....
