Easter Murray - Throwback Thursday

Good morning I recently came across the blog Throwback Thursday and I have to say originally i posted incorrectly as many seem to be doing. The idea is that you post a card from way back with some memory. This therefore can NOT be a new card. As so many challenges do not allow back linking this is so different. Well as the challenge card featured was Easter I thought I would share a old easter card with you. I still have this card and couldnt bear to part with. You know when you make a card and really like and are pleased with something on it. Well this was one. I dont think I have ever got her hair like I did that day. I remember sitting in my kitchen colouring it as if it was yesterday and cant believe it was 2 years ago.

Well I hope you like it as much as I have and maybe I will send out this year and hope that the person receiving it enjoys it as much. Here is the link to the original post HERE
