MORE BIRTHDAY WISHES

Where has the weekend gone? It is already 4:04 pm and I have not posted a card all weekend. That is so not like me. First let me say in my defense, I have been working like a mad woman on an order of 100 thank you cards., with 50 to be delivered tomorrow. I finished about 12 pm today. Secondly, I spent yesterday running around all day and made a special trip to the scrapbook store, which is 45 minutes from home. But, I needed to pick up some magnetic folders that had come in. India, the owner of the store called me on Thursday night to let me know they were in. So I had to go up for that. I have been spending a lot of time the last couple of weeks trying to get my work space and tools more organized. I hate to be rummaging around trying to find something and it takes for ever. It seems like such a waste of time. Now, I can get to my Spellbinders just by opening a folder and lifting off the one I want. The packaging that they come in had to go.

Anyway, since I always keep some cards in reserve for just such an occassion. I have a birthday card that fits into a couple of challenges and that I really need to get in the mail tomorrow.


This second image is from the inside of the card, The left side and on the right I wrote my birthday greeting. The left side of the card covers one of the challeges that I want to enter.

The image was colored with my Copics, V04, V12, E31, E33, E13, E25, my spica glitter pen Lilac.  I used my scalloped oval Nestibilities and embossed it with the happy birthday folder from Cuttlebug. Of course both were done in the Cuttlebug. The sentiment is from a set of clear stamps. The Image is from Sugar Nellie Stamps (Gorjuss - just a gir) by Suzanne Woolcot. I think that they are just the cutest images. Plus, I got it at the scrapbook store for 1/2 price. The cupcake paper is from The Paper Studio at Hobby Lobby. It is the new birthday pad. The papers are so cute. Since I am using it for cards I just bought the 4.5x6.5 pad. I embossed the first layer with circle Cuttlebug folder. The challenges that I am entering this card in are as follows.

  2. Beautifully coloured image, but unfortunately I don't see any evidence of a punch having been used - just Nesties.
