A birthday card for my Mum

I thought I'd show you the card I made for my Mum's 80th birthday.  I used to post a lot of cards on this blog, but it's been some time!  I made the card using papers which came with Simply Homemade magazine and made a pocket card to hold two tags.

The first tag featured photographs of my Mum from her teens, through the 1960s...

on the reverse a photo from the early 1990s and at my son's wedding 3 years ago.

The second tag, shown here in it's pocket, shows the 'gift' I am giving Mum for her birthday.

We are heading to London at the end of April to see a couple of shows and have Afternoon Tea at the Dorchester.

Here is the card, shown with the cake I made, more about the cake at Farmersgirl Kitchen

And here is my lovely Mum (not looking 80 at all) blowing out the candles on her cake at our family lunch today.
