Easy patchwork cards

Using leftover scraps of pretty fabric, and "Happy Birthday" ribbon (which I bought on a roll from John Lewis) I made some easy patchwork birthday cards.
Nothing much gets wasted in this house.

  5. Another great addition to your line in hand crafted cards.
    Hythe would be a good destination, only if it's a smooth crossing though!

  21. I wish I could come up with good ideas like that for cards instead of the usual blah color and paper cards. You think of everything. It's cool to know someone so creative who can find uses for everything.
