Our challenge this fortnight at ABC is X for Xtra Special, we want you to create a card for a special person or occasion. We are sponsored by Kenny K.
Mine is a very special thank you to a friend who saved my Daughter’s job!
Having told my Daughter, when she went for her new job that it was fine she didn’t have her own bank account, they suddenly changed their minds literally at the 11th hour. They gave her about 5 days to sort out an account or risk losing her new job, and all after she had already worked her notice at her old job!
My friend dropped everything to drive her 40 miles to the only place that would open her an account at very short notice and without picture ID.
It seems that these days in the UK if you don’t have a passport because you don’t do or haven’t done a foreign holiday and don’t drive, and therefore don’t have a driving licence you are persona non grata as far as Banks are concerned! Anyhow this is a thank you for the friend who literally went the extra mile to help my Daughter out.
It’s from the Cut, Mat, Create paper pad by Heartfelt Creations, which I have been hanging onto, and finally have cut into. HC is one of my favourite companies for paper and accompanying stamps, dies etc.
The lovely diecuts are from the Raindrops on Roses collection’s dies, and the butterfly is from the Sunflower Collections stamps.

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this! Simply beautiful! Thanks for joining us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!
ReplyDeleteOh my. I love the layers and all the purple! I am sorry your dd had a problem. It is just as bad in the states if you don't have ID. Thankfully you can apply for a state ID in the event that you don't have a passport or DL...which was something I had to do as an older teen and twenty-something! ;) Thanks for sharing your work with us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!
