Your daughter's card is beautiful, Sandra! I love the shades of lilac and lavender and all the exquisite layers! It will be treasured! I'm with you on the lockdown and hope people will be more selfless and careful this time. I'm sure there would be a different reaction if it were kids who were most at risk, like when there was polio. Apparently a lot of people don't have grandma and grandpa around any more or they just don't care. Sad. Over here, of course, well, you know what examples we have over here. Please take care and keep safe. Hugs, Darnell

This is a gorgeous birthday card. I love the color and all the details. You have motivated me to get working on a card for my daughter's birthday. I sort of sneaked up on me.

Gail said...

Your card for your daughter is beautiful!
Sorry to hear about another lockdown for you.
I've been wearing my mask everywhere!
Of course I hardly go anywhere except to work; but I leave my little office, and it goes on!

Sue from Oregon said...

Sandra, your card was my Mom's very favorite color. I thought of her immediately! Lovely creation. Sorry to hear you are in lockdown. The young ones here in the USA don't get it either. Of course our President doesn't either. Keeping my fingers this election day! Thank you for always coming to visit my little blog-I so appreciate your visits. ♥ Sue Kment

Oh my this is a beauty. The colours and papers go so perfectly. If people had abided by the rules when we came out of the first lockdown we wouldn't now be needing to go into a second one. They just don't get it so we all suffer. Hugs Mrs A.

Same thing going on here in Michigan, USA. Closing the libraries again and some schools. Love the lavender color scheme on your birthday card! Like the banner a lot too!

I also wish people would take the whole Covid situatio more seriously and would obey the rules. *sigh* Can't wait for the virus to be gone!
Your card is very pretty. I like the colours and that bow is the perfect finishing touch. xx
