5TH BIRTHDAY CARD

Good morning, it is a rather foggy cool morning here in the south. But, I am getting things done. I am in the process of working on my craft room and it has been slow going since I painted the walls about  8 months ago. Storage is my issue. Before, the tornados hit here in April, I was putting together my storage system, (the box cubes (dark wood) I bought at Hobby Lobby, well Hobby Lobby got blowed away with a lot of other property and we still don't have one here in town. So, I have had to drive over 50 miles each way to get to a Hobby Lobby. If you know any thing about me you know that I love a good deal or sale or coupon use. I won't buy a cube without a 40% coupon. and that is another of the reasons that it is taking me so long. Hobby Lobby only allows you to use one coupon per visit. So I normally have to go into the store at least twice when I drive that far.. But, hurray for us, Hobby Lobby will be opening in February not 5 minutes from my home. Oh well, enough about my storage drama and on to my card.

The card that I am showing today is a birthday card made for a special little girl who turned five a few weeks ago. When she was born the doctors' told her parents that she would never walk or talk and that she would not live very long. Well, guess what, she does all of those things. Yes, she has some issues, but she is a sweet loving child who walks and talks and she loves monkeys. So her card had to have a monkey on the front and the envelope. I used several stamps on this card because I wanted it to be special for her. Her aunt told me that her favorite colors were pink and brown. So those are the colors that I chose. One of the stamps was Tilda, from Magnolis stamps. The monkey is from Stampendous. The sentiments stamps are from my stash, I really don't remember who makes them. I know the smaller is a $1 stamp from Michael's. I typed the Happy 5th birthday on my computer.



The images were colored with copics, but I can't find my list to say what they were. The card stock is Bazzill and the DP is My minds eye. I do love how this card turned out.

    This is a beautiful card for a 5 year old. Love all the different spots both on the card and the design with that cute monkey is adorable;) Love that you've completed the card by using the monkey stamp again for the envelope. Thanks for playing at Stamptacular Sunday Challenge and good luck. Hope to see you back sunday for a new challenge. Bettina xx
