Feel better soon and a Birdie Brown freebie!

It seems like everyone around me is dropping like flies!  What is it with British people who experience a rubbish winter every year but manage to get a bad cold or flu?!  You'd think we'd have acclimatised already!!  But hey, I'm not one to talk - I catch the 'flu as easy as the next chicken!  Anyhoooooo, this card is for a sweet friend whose cold is just not shifting....


Well, I hope this little sweetie will brighten up their day!  I used again Birdie Brown's Happy Bee02 created by the very talented and sweet Torico.  Of course, this cutie is perfect for the BasicGrey Urban Prairie paper collection and I used a Pink Petticoat sentiment, My Favorite Things clouds die and Stampin' Up embossing folder and ribbon.

And Torico is giving away some really sweet heart freebies - go here to download them from her Birdie Brown blog!

I'm off, but have a fabulouso weekend everybody!!


I used the January Sketch For You To Try that I just flipped... 




I am also entering this card into the following challenges:
