I officially name 2011 the year of ....

.... The Worm! Yep another (and my last) update on the wormy birthday. This is the card I made for my son.



I took elements from this lovely card by Jessica Witty - the cut out number and border strips along the bottom. Then added a slightly bigger version of Mr Worm with a party hat sat jauntily on his head!


Simple, colourful, cute and well received. I don't know about you, but I agonise over cards for my own family; wanting them to be perfect for the recipient. The knots we tie ourselves in for our children!

Oh and the one advantage of snow - it gives a lovely diffuse light for taking photos!

    This is so cute. I did pop in for a different worm post, but I have to say this worm puts a smile on my face every time.
