Debs birthday and mural-type-thing!

Well, I have been wanting to put on these pics of our mural , since I painted it, but couldn't seem to get a good pic of it. (I's along a long wall in the hall, which is only a very long and thin hall so very awkward to get a good angle.) This will have to do - cos I have given up trying now! WE bought a huge "sticker " off the internet as we loved this sentiment. (we decorated our hall and living room in the easter hols) Anyway, as we were carefully trying to get it stuck into place, it all rolled up and stuck back on itself....it was like the worst (EVER!!) stciky-back-plastic. Nightmare!

So, Scott said we should have a go at doing our own! He made the banner on the pc and i chopped it up and stuck it all today, then we used it as a template for these words. I panted them by hand over a couple of evenings and hey presto! We are really pleased with it....and it's the first thing you see when you come in the front door. ....





Can you see that I have stuck some little gems to the wings of the butterflies and dragonflies? (and even a couple of o few of the letters pof the sentiment)





Then last week, I realised a friends birthday was fast approaching. She is an amazing crafter herself, and they are always the awkward ones, aren't they? heeehehe... She loves France, and sadly, I think she wants to move there, and when I saw this paper and image, I thought of her! Luckily, she loved the card...well, thats what she told me anyway :) heheheheee...xxx
