Happy birthday Owen

It's my grandson's 5th birthday today - I won't be seeing him as he and his Mummy, Daddy and big sister live in France so we've not been able to visit for several months now, but I expect we'll have a video chat later, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him wearing his favourite Darth Vader outfit - he's even Zoom-bombed some of his Mummy's important business conference calls during lockdown, dressed as Vader and brandishing a light sabre.




Of course I wanted to make him a birthday card featuring his hero. I've seen a really cute stamp used on some blogs but wasn't able to find a UK source for it (if you know of one, please let me know) but then I found the perfect download on Crafts U Print. There was only one layer of decoupage so I printed it twice and cut extra layers from the second sheet to give it the dimension I wanted. And then regretted my decision to add the extra layers - and therefore weight - when I went to post it - the price of postage to France seems to have more than quadrupled in the 10 years my daughter has been living there! 

I am sharing this with CD Sunday Plus - anything goes using a CD, USB or download.

    A great card Jane. I am sure your grandson is going to be ecstatic when he opens it. The postal expense will be worth it.
