Curtain Call CC Act 26

Hey everyone,

Ok, having a few issues with loading pictures on my blog, so I will update soon with Stacey's fabulous inspiration photo.   In the mean time, if you would like to play along go HERE.

My inspiration for this weeks card is my little mans' 6th birthday.  These were such great colours for a boy card.  Loved them!

Happy Birthday Rylee!

Long story short ... left it to the last minute to make a card for Sue's baby girl, Rylee (7), and didn't have time to take a photo before I had to give it to her, so Sue kindly took a photo and emailed it to me.  Thanks Sue!

Last minute birthday ...

Yesterday (Friday), I received a text asking if we were going to RSVP to a birthday party for tomorrow.  So, I ask my gorgeous 5 year old if he received and invite before school ended 2 weeks ago.

Liam:  Yes mum ... it's in my blue foler

The party was the next day.  Here were my instructions:
