Francesca the cupcake queen is my entry for One Stop Craft Challenge #52 . It's their Blogaversary so the theme is 'Celebration'. This card is for a former work colleague, who is celebrating her birthday next week so I think that fits nicely.
Receiving this award made me realise that I never got around to posting 7 things about myself after getting an award from Paula. The Making Smiles Award asks for just 5 snippets of personal information, so I think that this mini biog will work for both:
1. I was delighted to read earlier today that the adorable Lucy Abrams is only 5 foot tall. Hurrah for miniature card making folk, and welcome to my world as I am only 5 foot and 1 inch tall. And that's a very crucial inch let me tell you!
2. The first thing that attracted me to my wonderful hubby was his dazzling smile. I have to confess that even after all these years that smile still gets me every time!
3. I was so excited about trying to squeeze in a little crafting before going to get my hair cut this morning that I forgot to wash! You will be pleased to hear that I put this right as soon as I realised, but honestly talk about a one track mind!
4. I was a quilt maker before I was a card maker and still have a chest of drawers full of fabulous fat quarters and quilt wadding.
5. Custard is named after Custard the Cat in the cult 1980s British children's cartoon series 'Roobarb and Custard'. Our Custard is black and white, rather than bright pink and he has a much sweeter nature then his namesake.
6. I drive a bright red VW Polo and have called 'her' Minty!
7. We went to see Green Day at the LG Arena last night and they were amazing!
If you are a regular visitor to my blog or you are one of my much valued fabulous following friends please grab this award from my sidebar as you are all people who make faces smile!
Hugs to you all!

HI Jo your card is delightful! I loved reading a little bit more about you as well :). We seem to have simular interests (& cats lol). I too am a quilt maker, but have big plastic containers full to overflowing with Fabrics that Smudge (Custard's evil clone) loves to sleep on.
