Loopy Lucy`s Twelve

















Hi all. Sorry I haven`t posted for a while...What with losing Mistletoe and one thing or another, I hadn`t really felt like making cards....But as you all know, the crafting bug keeps calling and I couldn`t resist anymore so I made this card for our closest friends daughter, Lucy. She`s now twelve and is a sandwich short of a picnic,lol. She is a lovely,funny,caring girl and is a credit to Jo and Paul, her mum and dad who`ve just had a baby...gorgeous Harry, who is soon to be our Godson :D
