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.
Oh Diane, these are lovely. Fabulous idea and one which I will have to shamelessly copy if you don't mind! I think my daughter would enjoy doing that as well!
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.
Nothing much gets wasted in this house.
So pretty! I still have a Christmas card recycled by clever Diane! ;-)
